by Damh the Bard, reposted from Damh’s Blog Me and Cerri were in the back of Kristoffer Hughes’ car. It was September 2020, and there was a break in the Pandemic Lockdown so we’d taken the opportunity to get away for a weekend to Wales to see our friends. We...

by Tim Billbrough Introduction When I began this journey nearly a year ago, I envisioned it as a fun little experiment that would be neat to share with this, my Druid community. Little did I expect how much it would impact my personal practice and understanding of my spirituality. While...

by Damh the Bard On June 10th 2010, at the OBOD Summer Gathering in Glastonbury Town Hall, I was initiated as the new Pendragon of the Order, stepping into the role passed to me by the previous Pendragon, the artist Will Worthington. The Pendragon before Will, during Ross Nichol’s time...

by Maria Ede-Weaving Has anyone been feeling particularly tired of late? Here in the Northern Hemisphere, the run up to the Winter Solstice can leave us feeling low in energy. Our modern world is so adept at ignoring Nature’s cycles and seasonal changes, that we can underestimate the impact that...

by Maria Ede-Weaving The autumn equinox brought that moment when the light and dark hours of the day, for just a brief moment, were perfectly equal. That moment is like the silent, still gap between breathing in and out; sometimes we catch ourselves noticing it, frozen in our observance of...

by Catriona McDonald, reposted from her Blog The Druid’s Well One of my favorite things about Druidry is the opportunity (and indeed, encouragement!) to do ritual outside.* Needless to say, here in New England, this can be challenging from October through May. But never fear, neither snow, rain, cold, nor...

by Craig I live in Kidbrooke London and discovered during my curiosities that the name Kidbrooke derives from Anglo Saxon era and was known then as Chitebroc, the meaning being “Where the Kites flew and the three streams meet”. I worked on where the old rivers flowed and traced there...

by Maria Ede-Weaving The awful events happening in our world at the moment have me feeling a deep heaviness and grief; I have lead for bones. My day-to-day reality is actually relatively peaceful, but it is impossible to ignore what is happening ‘out there’. I am sure I don’t need...

by Damh the Bard reposted from Damh’s Blog I’m trying to remember how long ago it was. I was a sales rep, out on the road, visiting customers during the day, and then, having booked a hotel near some ancient sacred site, as soon as my calls were over for...

by Hannah Partos reposted from Positive News Think big, act wild, goes the strapline at Rewilding Britain, which Sara King puts into practice every day. As well as advising UK rewilding hotspots, she coordinates the Rewilding Network, a community of trailblazers with a vision for a wilder Britain It was...

by James Nichol of Contemplative Inquiry Blog Noticing a single corn stalk under our neighbouring birch trees, I wonder whether the seed simply blew in or was planted by an unknown hand. If the latter, what was their intention? I realise that I will never know. What I do know...

by Maria Ede-Weaving There is a prehistoric sacred monument on the Isle of Wight. Although the monument looks like two standing stones (one on its side) it is actually the remains of a Neolithic long barrow, the stones themselves once having been part of the barrow’s entrance. Known as the...

Reposted from Caroline’s Williams Blog Druid Therapy The tiny acorn, as it nestles expectantly in the deep embrace of the earth, doesn’t resemble the mighty and towering Oak it eventually grows into being. How often we also forget that just like the acorn we are a young seed of potential...

by Maria Ede-Weaving Ogham has never been a big part of my Druidry. I was never particularly drawn to it, finding Runes more appealing and accessible as a Divination system. However, my own relationship with the tree and plant world has been hugely helpful and inspiring for me along the...

by Tim Billbrough Introduction I am not an overly creative person, I don’t sing, dance, or make music. I can tell stories, but it’s not my forte. Most of my bardic passion comes from my love of food and cooking. With an unusually large burst of Awen this past January,...
