Philip Carr-Gomm’s Weblog
Regarding blogging, Philip writes, “Just as the spiritual path can be characterised as the ongoing attempt to both remember yourself and forget yourself, so blogging can be seen as a challenge to both be more personal, more open, more sharing of the riches of a life and at the same time to take yourself less seriously, to let go of the concern about what other people might think about you, and to reveal rather than conceal your curiosity and amazement at the often crazy world you find yourself in.”

By profession, she works in public services; by vocation, she is a professional ritual celebrant and multifaith volunteer, working throughout the East Midlands and beyond.

And while always alone, we are never truly isolated – there is always someone there.”

Danaan
Dana Wiyninger — seeing the beauty in our lands, and exploring the ways we find to be Druids in them.
Since 2004, “Danaan” has looked at what is sacred in nature, and how we relate to it and to each other. Building connections is a main theme, with resources on keeping seasonal festivals, honoring places and spirits, connecting with plants (via your own local Ogham), and finding Druids in North America (Druid Groups Map). A Druid in OBOD and member of other orders, besides drawing on her pagan upbringing, past environmental career, traditions, and travels, Dana looks to her guides and wild places for inspiration.

A Druid Way
Dean writes, “A Druid Way records my walk along one path of Druidry. I’m a Bard affiliated with OBOD, the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids.  It should go without saying, but I’ll say it in case it doesn’t: it’s not necessary to belong to any group to practice a Druid path, just as it’s not necessary to be a Druid to live close to the earth and in harmony with nature.”

The Druid’s Garden
Spiritual Journeys in Tending the Land and Sustainable Living
Dana is a Druid-grade member of OBOD and a Druid Companion in the Ancient Order of Druids in America (AODA) who lives in Michigan, USA.

The Druid’s Well
Falliing in Love with the Whold World
Catriona McDonald says of herself, “Being a good ol’ American Mutt, a number of different influences currently inform my spiritual practices—probably more of them subconscious than I’d like to admit. The most obvious of these are Revival Druidry (OBOD-style) and the Cunning Arts. Druidry provides my spatial and temporal framework as well as my connections to the Gods and Spirits, and Witchcraft is the technology that pulls everything together. This blog is an outgrowth of my devotional site, The Druid’s Well, which has largely languished in the past few years. I’m very much enjoying the less formal forum in which to air my rambling thoughts (hopefully while keeping in mind a core theme of spiritual exploration).

Meadowsweet & Myrrh
Alison Leigh Lilly — peace, poesis & wild holy earth
Alison writes, “The Song of the World holds within it the poetry, the ecstasy and metaphor of the Bard, the movement, spaciousness and changing landscapes known to the Seer, and the justice, peace and sure harmonies of truth sought by the Druid. And so, having come a long way without intending to, one day I found myself back at the beginning again: a wild child, a woodsy child, a child who could concentrate all of my attention on holding perfectly still, listening for the soul-song of the robin hunting crickets in the field, and rejoicing quietly in the changing chords of my own song suspended in awareness and gratitude.”

A modern Pagan perspective
