I am rooted to the soil, the earth. If it grows from the soil it is my kin, blessing me with love, comfort & nourishment. I respond respectfully. My inner soul is Druid, all 83 years. Perhaps the genesis is my Irish ancestry. Grateful for the journey. Thank you for the walk & talk. It was beautiful. Love & blessings to you fellow traveler. 🕊

The Sanskrit tradition, in the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita, said the same thing about getting away to an isolated spot to meditate. Also, the importance of direct observation of reality is a theme of Sanskrit (Hindu and Buddhist) thought. It may be extreme to go along with those who say "it is all the same", but usually great teachers say similar thing using different words.

For most of my entire life I've felt a very deep yearning... a pull. I was born and raised in Tennessee in the USA and it's very VERY Christian. I tried for many years to believe. I respect the religion and Christ, but the Bible is simply stories to me. I yearned for more. So I traveled the world. I tried other religions and beliefs. But after several years, the yearning was still there. I've always called it The Universe or my Intuition. And I learned at a young age that it's always right. So I follow it. It eventually led me to the Pacific Northwest in the USA. To deep, ancient mountains and forests and trees... so many gorgeous trees. It lead me to my soulmate. To my career. But eventually, the yearning returned... until yesterday. When my soul FINALLY opened to the real answer... That ambient "power" I'd always felt drawn too wasn't just a god or the universe or the cosmic spirit... it's been Her this whole time. And as I sit here writing this, t's literally like everything, every experience I've ever had, every book I've every read, every dream that's ever appeared to me has all been for this very moment. Although I've been inadvertently already researching the foundations of Druidry for nearly the past decade, I only just now am seeing it all clearly. After searching on KZfaq, this video right here was the first I decided to watch. Everything you said resonates with me more deeply than I can currently express in words... Thank you for your perspective on Modern Druidry. Thank you for your creativity with this beautiful video. And thank you for the peace your soul radiates. -A long lost Druidess

I'm an Ovate in the British Druid Order. I started in the Norse tradition,being born in England, later I discovered my Welsh heritage and decided to investigate the Celtic tradition. I somehow bridge the gap and follow both Norse and Celt.

I have referred to myself as a sort of nondescript pagan, choosing more to explain spirituality through individual beliefs and practices than an overarching name. It was only recently that it came to my attention that druidry was not a closed practice, and that much of what I already believed fit within it. I'm looking forward to learning more about druidry. Thanks for sharing this video, it was a soothing watch.

Fascinating. Although I am originally not from England since I moved to London in 2013 I started to create this deep yearning to connect with nature and the land. Since then I have found my inspiration in nature. I have followed a diverse path of Spirituality. Once I visited Avebury during a spring Equinox and what I felt goes beyond any words or under-standing. It's like standing in a vortex or a whirlpool of energy.

I feel like a Driud at heart. Today I have enrolled on the year long course that hopefully will take me on a journey that my soul is crying out for. Thank you for your sharing.

I discovered Druidism as a boy while reading the encyclopedia. I'm not a fan of Christianity. Most religions strike me as toxic. Druidism appealed to me because I like nature. Druidism seems to be a healthy way to live in harmony with the universe. That is my goal. I want healthy relationships.

Hello, great video and what a beautiful forest! Just last week I celebrated a personal milestone of being a member of the Reformed Druids of North America (RDNA) for 10 years. In those 10 years I've focused on community-building and advocacy, as well as becoming druid clergy within my Order and serving in a ceremonial capacity as well. In the past three years I've also started doing volunteer hospital chaplaincy for local druids and pagans. Though there hasn't been particularly high demand for it (a couple times per year, maximum) since our numbers are relatively small in the world.

A very nice little video, thank you. I became a Buddhist years ago. Things kept coming into my mind whenever I was close to nature which left me with a sad, lonely feeling. Once I realized that nature has a 'spiritual' aspect to it the feelings stopped and were replaced with something quite special. So I incorporated Druidry into my faith and the world, both spiritual and material, has made sense ever since.

There is not much out there regarding modern druidry compared to other traditions. Thank you for making this video available in english so that many people can enjoy it.

I'll probably get flack for this but playing world of warcraft for 15 yrs made me want to become a real druid, and I'm so happy it led me to that choice 😊🙏🏻❤️

A clear and beautiful way to describe what we do. I became a druid in 1999. I agree with everything you said.

I am a solitary druid (and also Irish Catholic) living in midwestern USA. I have studied the ways of animals and plants all my life. Awen manifests itself through me in my art, music and deep connection and love of the Earth. Thank you for sharing this video. Many blessings

I'm an Ovate in OBOD as well! Greetings from America. Your view of Druidry is nearly the same as mine. I just practice mine in another place on Earth. /|\

Im living in china and since i know druid when i was 30, 3-4years ago, i am very curisous about it, a wisdom man image, learning from the forests. now im learning the Buddha, still looking for druids knowledge.

Been a practicing Druid for several years. Fantastic video

Its soul soothing. i feel a pull for druidism.its the age old lost wisdom which some fellows like you revive.the universal wisdom of soul is the salvation against this materialistic world which keeps us away from our sempiternal heritage as the child of mother nature. Stay blessed brother. Greeting from another ancient land of wisdom -india. Ps.please tell me how can i start my journey in druidism?

I loved the video, thank you very much for sharing, greetings from Mexico. 💚💚💚🇲🇽

This video meant so much, spiritually is so different as we see different visions. But i dream to be in harmony just the way you describe

I love meditation and love nature. I walk an ancient path along the ridgeway here in Dorset. Its littered with burial mounds either side. There is something else up there with me glimmers of things, alone but not alone, never creepy though. Its always peacful meditating with my ancestors. Im not one for dogma but i always walk where i can with bare feet to feel grounded.

As a Christian and a Druid, I believe them to be on two different sides of the same coin. Druidry does not automatically imply that one is a pagan. In fact St Columba of Iona, Catholic Monk and Evangelist to the Picts, called Christ his great Archdruid. We also see tons of Druid practice in the Western Isles of Scotland and majority of them are Catholic. So to be a Druid doesn’t mean to be pagan. In person practice of Druidry I see it as being a cultural minister, not a religious one. This being only one part of druidry, it involves being of service to your fellow man and creation. This is done by gaining natural wisdom from creation and sharing it with others. Sharing your meditations and the fruit of those to others for personal and self growth, but also service through activities which promote human help and further growth in society as a whole. As a cultural minister, I do naming and welcoming ceremonies, including clothing a child in the family tartan of his clan, handfastening and funerals. To be a Druid in service is to be a minister to the people in the cultural sense of the that Celtic identity. In essence, I leave the church to do their job (one side of the coin) and mine is to accompany the person in the rites of initiation and cultural ceremony of the Celtic peoples (the other side of the coin). This requires a knowledge of many things and is learned in any Druid training either OBOD or AODA.

Полностью согласен с Вами! Огромное спасибо за русские субтитры:) Особенно согласен с тем, что современный друидизм - это Awen, вдохновение и путь познания себя и мира с помощью этого вдохновения. И я считаю это необходимо в современном мире. У нас есть наука, но она лишь инструмент, она не даёт Awen, лишь факты, слова, обозначения и конструкции, а там дальше человек сам решает как этим всем пользоваться, а чтобы пользоваться нужна духовная мотивация, ориентиры и для меня это друидизм, для меня это - Awen.

Wonderful video. Name is owain. As a fellow ovate,2nd level, this is by far the best introduction into our way for newcomers I've ever seen on KZfaq. Blessed be brother! I'm subscribed.

A little bit sad, that you decided to make your videos in English :( But it's your choice, and I respect it. As a modern druid, I try to find knowledge about our Slavic culture and tradition as much, as possible, and compare it with Celtic one. I read many myths, legends, and of course, fairy tales, even try to play ancient slavic music instrument - "gusli". In the near future I'll tell you about my research some more :) Also, as druids and naturelovers, I think we must take care of wildness, help to stay clean forests, rivers, lakes, fields, and do whatever we can. Tell people about importance to respect, and take care of nature, because I think, that many of them forgot. In general, lead an ecological lifestyle.

An excellent analysis of what Druidry is!

Thank you for this discussion. That woodland Grove looks very inviting

Quite Magickal 🌹. From one on the same Path in Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦❤

I've had a unpleasant time with obod so I developed my own druid ways. I always keep in mind integrity, discrimination/discernment, application, patience, moderation, detachment and relaxation. And a healthy love for nature and learning her language through heart centered practices. It works for me but I'm sure since I'm not in a group people will say I can't be a druid well who says anyone can lol

I consider druids my brethren, my siblings. I'm an eclectic pagan, my roots are in the faiths that have shaped me the most and that I have my heritage from: Finnish paganism and Hellenism. I'm a born Finn, but the Greek ways have always called for me, I've felt it in my soul as much as I've been able to see the daemon since I was 6. I've studied Druidism a bit, in my quest to establish my own individual faith and practice. We share a lot, we are all inquisitive minds that are kin with nature, respect it all as sacred as we are a part of it and all of it has the presence of various spirits and gods.

Прекрасное видео, огромное спасибо, Денис.

Thank you my kindred Family. I love you all. I feel at home in the forest.

I just signed up for an online Druid college today. Theres three stages, Bard, Ovarte and then Druid courses. I'll be studying these for three years.

Даже с субтитрами интересно все, что Вы рассказываете, а музыка погружает в прошлую жизнь.

I loved the walk! What a great idea, thank you.

Great video Denis! Liked, and subscribed!!

Thank you for sharing your philosophy and practice.

I have walked the hills of England and Ireland and I feel a genuine profound connection to these hills. I am connected to this part of the world, and was never introduced to Druid beliefs. I did many things that later aligned with my learning about it later. It’s hard to ignore this as coincidence ❤️ I even designed one of my early tattoos on my arm and learned that it also aligned. So whether I chose to walk this path or not, I am finding a connection that already exists ☮️

Such a beautyfull place!! I learned much with you, thanks for the walk. I rly needed that hahahahaha. Now I have some light to go farword in my studies 😃

Well, KZfaq hid you for a year but now you have arrived at my door - you are most welcome :) If the environment in your video is your locality, I am envious :D A lovely path through splendid trees and that unexpected bank of flowers was a delight. I do consider myself a Druid but have long lingered on the decision as to whether to join OBOD or not - for me spirituality is a personal thing and becoming part of what is essentially the Druidic Church of England gives me pause. However, the feeling that there is much to learn and having a guide would be very helpful is gaining weight, so mayhaps it will not be too long before I take the plunge :chuckles:

We have always been seekers of new and old knowledge , the judges where referred as all men bow and heed the king but the king heeds the council of a druid. Be stoic in your life always learning ,respect and withdraw to nature not from it .create the groves lost to roman hands both in heart ,mind ,and land . May the road rise to meet you on your journey.

One cannot " be seperate " from nature . It is only thoughts that tell us that we are insulated from the becoming of the universe .

I've always thought I was a Shaman, but I have recently been reading more about druids, and realize that there isn't much of a difference, not at least in the European sense. So as a born Welshman living in deepest Wales I now call myself a Druid Shaman. For me it's all about what I feel, to look at me I'm simply a regular bloke, wearing shoes, modern textiles, I have a smartphone and that shouldn't diminish a person spiritually in any way.

Druidic Greetings Denis, at the moment I am walking The Ovate's Path in the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids since 2022. As a Modern Druid I observe all our sisters and brothers of Mother Nature, I observe the shapes of the landscape. I eat as much organic, fresh and locally as possible. I practice bear feet Shirin-Youku. I study, research and practice everything related with Natural, Holistic and Quantum Medicine. I do volunteering work at a Wild Animals Rescue Center nearby where I live. I help others with healing work and natural plant based remedies, some of them homemade by me. In my walks I catch litter. I am learning how to make my own home made natural cosmetic products to protect Mother Earth. I quit use nails' polish to protect Mother Nature. As a handicraft artisan woman I search for natural fibbers and items as much as I can to protect Mother Earth. I teach my son, who have arrived physically to Planet Earth in 2007, the Love, Respect, Reverence for all forms of life in all Multiverse as much as I can. I read, listen music and seek Awen in everything and in every moment of my daily life. In this adventure on Planet Earth I have chosen to come as a Portuguese woman and at the moment I live in Magical Portugal, where I research ancient wisdom from these lands. I love to meet and chat with fellow Druids. Every time I pick up some plants, flowers, resins, etc. from our Sisters and Brothers of the Vegetable Kingdom I ask permission and after I say thanks, and I try to cause as less harm as much as I can to our Sisters and Brothers of the Vegetable Kingdom. My Soul is Druid. My Religion is Nature and my Church are the Trees. For me Mother Nature/Earth is not a it Is a She. Thank you so much for the talk and walk, I have loved the video and the views of it 🙏🏼💚🌍💚 Love and Blessings dear Brother of The Path 💚✨

I liked your video very much. I hope this will help with the deeper understanding that you seek. The Tree, ('Druid' comes from 'Tree Wit', or 'One With The Knowledge Of The Tree') is a Primary Goddess Symbol. Tree worship is infact as old as the hills! Not, only do trees provide a habitat for many creatures & birds, but they also give shelter, food, honey, water, medicine & even the necessities for making fire! An ideal 'Mother Symbol' ! There's only one Goddess, but in Her Aspect of Wisdom, She is called Saraswati, (although She has many other names such as; Hathor, Catha, Freya, Circe, & Breghedd). The European Tree that is the symbol of Her Wisdom is The Ash Tree. In India though, (highly relevant), it is The Peepal, Ashera, Bodh, Mountain Fig, Buddhas Tree, (Ashera Religiosa)! We should remember that Buddha (Wise Man) gained enlightenment from beneath this very tree! It is also Yggdrasil (combining The Egg & Tree Symbols), & A Tree in 'The Garden'. The other 'Garden' Tree is The Terribond. In Europe, though, The Oak takes its' place & assumes its' significance. The Oak, & its fruit, The Acorn, are both named after Aukundi. She is another Aspect of The Maha Devi, (Great Goddess) primarily concerned with 'Life Energy'. She also gives Her name to Kundalini, & that specific area of The Base Chakra! This is Eves Tree, symbols being the essence of that particular Babylonian story! There are many more Aspects to The Goddess, & many more trees too! The Hawthorn is named after Hathor (Het Hera) for example, Heather too! The Male Aspect of 'God' should not be overlooked. The 'Priests of Baal', (Cohen y Vel) give us words; Carne (meat), 'Carnival' & 'Cannibal'. They are often referred to as 'Druids', but as I have already discussed, The Tree only ever refers to The Goddess! Constantine, (although a contemporary), was not a 'Druid', but a 'Priest of Baal'. He believed that The Male God was Superior to The Female God. 'Baal' is Apollo (Baal, Abaalo, Apollo), The Sun Deity! Other names are; Suruyan, Murugan, Tamuz, Horon, Horus, Sol, Helios etc. He is regarded as generally benevolent. But, He is a God that bears another face, since He is also at times, The God of War! In this Aspect He has many more names, but a few are; Rama, Ahriman, Ares, Aries, Mahees, Mars, Apollyon. As God of War, He sometimes requires a human sacrifice. In this Aspect He is; Molech, Melcom or Melchis, of The Levante. He asks for a 'tithe', a tenth, a decimation! That should ring a bell or two! In Europe, though, Sheep, Barley, Honey & Mead were generally given to ensure a bountiful following harvest. Here Molech was known as Melcom, The Green Man, or Wicker Man. The practice stopped in James' time & was replaced by Guy Fawkes! Druids also acknowledged The Male Aspect, but were more alligned to The Female Aspect. The ancient Druidical 'Tau Cross', represented their Trinity. It is well over 6,000 years old. The Cross was symbolically hewn from a live Tree to form the Tau itself, or 'Thors Hammer'. It is associated with the beginnings of The Age of Taurus. The 'Romans' wanted to show their God 'Rama', their loyalty, hence the eventual demise of The Druidical way of life throughout Europe. The Druids were, in short, The High Priests of Gaia Herself, Tiamat, Maat, Mother Nature! They knew the right balance, They built it in their Cross. Thus then, this perpetual karmic struggle between the male (logical) & female (emotional). That alas is life in these Dark Ages! It is nothing new; Romans, Normans, Columbus, The Witch Hunts, The French & Russian Revolutions etc etc. A War upon the 'emotional' by the "logical', 'wrapped up' as something glorious, something to celebrate & commemorate by the winners! Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose!

Hard to believe that all of these plants 🌱 evolved from green algae in tidal pools… Now that is truly magical.

I follow where my spirit leads me. My parents met in the Giant Sequoia forest and at a young age we went camping there. I felt at one with the trees and chipmunks, ravens and bears, and the stars, so vivid and humming. I am an American of many nationalities. My great grandparents were Welsh, Scottish, Irish, German and Eastern European Jews. I feel connected to the American land and its Native peoples, but also feel drawn to the tales of my ancestors, some of whom were bards in Wales and the family tree I have includes Cole Hen, Llywarch Hen, Morgan Le Fae, Bran and Branwen, even Joseph of Arimathea. Perhaps medieval monks added the storied people in with the royal line. So I feel a bit conflicted. Where do I belong? With the land of my birth and the sacred forest there, or with my ancestors who are from all over the globe?

This is one of the more accurate interpretations of druidic practices I've heard.

Hello brother, I hope you are well. It has been so long since I have seen an ovate. I live in New Orleans Louisiana here in the states. It has been so long since someone sounded like my Grandfather, and you sir have done that for me. I thank you so much, it has been 27 years since I heard his voice. He had taught me many of the old ways. I have subscribed. Are you on Facebook?

Thank you for the video I'm in the bardic grade and often wonder how other druids think or go about there day

I think "Modern" would mean that Druidry is being lived in the current space and situation the world is in. Nothing is really changed other than placing ourselves in the space and connecting to Nature. The elements are still the same, the directions still the same, plants and herbs still the same. Beannachtai!

Magic is definitely real, just depends on your definition.

I am new to the druid path and I enjoyed your video. Thanks!

As a Kanano-Arabian Pagan aka Middle East Pagan appreciate this.

Thankyou, that was interesting and I think very thoughtful 💚🌳🌻🦋🦉🙏

Hello...thankyou..you ask what I think as a druid..in humility as a dragon druid always a novice I am aware of how vast the land language is how deep it is...arwen...irelands my leanings...

ɬax̣ayam, denis! (Chinuk-wawa hello) I am Root of the Pacific Northwest of Turtle Island, and I appreciate your perspective! You outline many excellent points that I think are crucial to having an open mind balanced with discernment. Science is an excellent tool for telling us what is in the universe and how it works, but it cannot and should not answer any questions about matters of meaning, value, and purpose. I walk in the world as a druid through my work in forest management. I do my best to always be learning, and also to share what I have learned in a good way. I choose to believe in the unfathomable intelligence of the gods, and that it is wise to listen for the ways in which they may communicate. In my life so far, I have had three vivid interactions with gods. The first was with Siṃhamukhā, also known as the Lion-headed Dakini. She did not appear to me with a lion's head, but as a woman with blue skin. She introduced herself as Simha, which I found out later is greek for "lioness". She told me to "serve the path", but was quite cryptic about it. I would not know who she really was until years later, when I studied Greek and Buddhist deities, and made the connection. My spiritual mentor gave me CDs of the OBOD Gwersu, and I have been trying to walk as a druid ever since. The other god I have interacted with is the one known as Cernunnos, who has helped me see the beauty of the cycles of life and death in the first interaction, and in the second to confront the colonial, racist history of the place I call home, and the horrors that were committed here by the founders of the society in which I live and have benefited from. I was offered a vision of but one of the many massacres, and it was one of the most difficult choices in my life to dare to look, and it is one of the more difficult experiences I have ever had. I have not interacted with Cernunnos since then, as I believe I have much more learning to do about it. In this way, my faith compels me to meet challenges with a sense of purpose, and also reminds me to be humble. Deep peace of the snowy mountains to you, Deep peace of the gentle rain to you, Deep peace of the running wave to you!

I think Druidism might be right for me. How do I know?

New to the idea of druids outside of fantasy and I enjoyed the way you did this video. The walk was nice

This was excellent. Well done.

Thanks

💖

Thank You 🖤💛

1:25 that is precisely who I want to become.

I have always felt a very strong pull towards the forest. However I never have time or a way to go alone and meditate and it makes me sad.

Alsi Newgrange tomb

That was a nice watch. Druid here, but not a "modern" one.

I am from Ireland and I have drawn to paganism and druidism way. The more I reach ancient druids history the more I am sadden about the knowledge that has been last. I agree with the comment we have to know what happen in the past to become a modern druid. We need to under the knowledge root.

Subscribed 💚💙

Hi,All my life I have been drawn towards the Celts,pagans and Druids,I'm 46 now and have accumulated many books,artifacts etc and recently someone claiming to be a clairvoyant told me I was a Druid in a former life,I've always wondered and worried about seeing someone of this nature because I've been haunted since i was a child from an entity of some sort! What do you recommend i should do about this situation? Thank you my friend.🙏

Thanks so much ❤️

My fellow awen I seek the knowledge imbedded in the moss.

I am a pagan and I would love to be a sruid one day

I am very happy to be a druid and i am grateful everyday to the gods and my ancestors and to the earth and the universe and the multiverse

To put it most simply, Druid practice is the same as Gnostic practice. The most skilled/Gnostic druids become Shamanic. This is my understanding, because of Merlin and the 7 precepts. I would indeed love to learn Gaelic. I've studied the Ogham, but it doesn't do much good without speaking their language(s).

Hi, so are we not aloud to practice witchcraft as well as be a Druid? I’m a witch interested in druidry so I just want to know if I would still be able to continue my practice in other ways or if would be prohibited?

My thought on a druid is a mystical man or woman spitting spells on the enemy shield wall

I was born on the Summer Solstice at high noon and I have speculated that my ancient Celtic ancestors may have made me into a Druid or into a sacrifice ... maybe both.

What u as a druid think about anarcho primitivism? Have u heard about it? Is it similar to druidism?

When I think of Druids, what comes to mind are badass no-nonsense protectors of the earth and the secrets of her divine nature. I am pretty sure, from what I have read and seen, that they were certainly not bubbly, fife playing pixies dancing around fires for attention.

May you Read: Irish Origins of Civilization by Michael Tsarion Irish Wisdom preserved in Bible and Pyramid -Conor Mac Dari The earliest Irish were not Celts.

Druids are a very old religion going back to before roman britain, they were doctors and lawyers in thoes times. No i am not a druid, but also follow a pagan path. I do witchcraft but not wiccan traditional witchcraft. Its a bit different, and yes i work in a coven.

This is possibly HR nest overview I've seen on Druidry here on YT. Minus the "gods" as there are none.

Hi iam a swed, jag är vad man kallar en vis man kan mycket om naturen jag kan känna skogens olika energi fält. Skogen lär mig att lyssna på naturen var man finner dom bäst meditations platserna etc jag kommer att följa denna grupp

These aren't the druids you're looking for.

I am a women druid, be blessed

Can I be powerful by being druidy

..the presence is all We will ever have Discernment of the now The holy cow The bubbling brook The rising sun The full earthquake Moon...

We had Dryaich in the family and they still chip about

VerY cool :)

I am a “Christian” and I want to practice Druidry. Mostly I just work with Mother Mary and Jesus the saints and angels. But I think Druidry could add something very special to my path. Are there many Jesus and Mary loving Druid’s out there?

Do Druids reincarnate? Do they travel through time this way. Are they here today? Has anyone ever thought enough of them to put a marker on the Isle of Mother or Holy Head. People talk of Druids as if we were not immortal. I didagree completely! The minutiae of being a Druid is completely available at your nearest Oak tree should you be a Druid. The whole point of Druids is to understand what our course is on our path through this existence so that we may learn the High Art of kindness! Not war Not money. Kindness! Right now and because your a Druid you surely must know the condition of the planet because Dannu is in constant communication with you. You know that Humanity is very close to sterilizing this planet . Right? You realize that for 6000 years money has lead Humanity down the primrose path You know that if money continues to be used Humanity will remain enslaved and all life on this planet will end.

Nice to see a spiritual movement coming back to northern Europe hopefully to replace the growing agnosticism there.

I think it's crazy to worship a man that died 2000 years ago

Friend, youre the one thats misconcepted. You dont understand magic work and the role of the wise people in the wold of humans; but thats ok how would you know, were living in Kali Yuga.

i served a very powerful Druidess on Tara Ri , the hill of the kings , 4k years ago . it sickens me to see and listen to the distortion and corruption from other tribes , that have dam near destroyed my ancient Gael culture , most of you people talk about respect , then listen to the ones who have destroyed the ancient ways , im, talking about the roman church and the english invaders , which you read there books and listen to there people . De colonialise your mindsets , remember the path of the Oak leads to inis Fail ,
