Druidry

[Carl Gustaf Prien]

I happened to come across this nice site on Druidry and there was a lot that I could identify with, as far as the 'Druid Way' was concerned.

"Infantile"? They're one of the older neo-Druidic organizations, growing out of the 18th-century "Druid revival" (not that that is itself necessarily historically accurate - as far as I know, played much faster and looser with history than some modern attempts at reconstruction). See https://www.danaan.net/druid-cat/druid-group-comparison/ for instance. What do you mean exactly?

They are doing the best they can with the limit resources on celtic druids. In any case they are creating a new form of spirituality similar to druidry of old, not simply copy it.

I agree with Treespar. Information resources are painfully thin here on Earth and it is in these days that many information cannals are finally oppening. Many seems to be infantile while doing their very best and that is very far from being infantile.

Religion/spirituality is a living thing. People and society and the needs of the earth have changed, so the interaction points between ourselves and the gods and spirits will change as well. (Not to mention that the interface with regular humans vs. with those of us elven, fae, or otherwise can be different, not that I am saying that applies to OBOD or other modern druid organizations as a whole.) As long as one is honest about the historicity or lack thereof of elements in their practice, I think it more important whether it is "vital".

Good point.
