I am a Druid and one aspect of Druidry that I like is the fact there is no dogma, it is a personal path. We joke that if you asked one hundred Druids what Druidry is for them? You are likely to get at least one hundred and ten different answers. But there are something that we would all agree on. Life is SACRED, all life. Everything that we are and have is a gift from this planet earth on which we live. This computer on which I type is from the earth, the chainsaw with which I harvest my firewood is from the earth. Our food, water and bodies are from the earth.

Seeing the wonder of all this how cannot everything be sacred? Yet society acts as thought is not so. We waste and pillage without regard for the wonder of all creation. Why?

Is it simply that we are so disconnected from nature and yet we are nature itself, are we so disconnected from ourselves?

I think the other common thread that would encompass all Druids is that one word. Connection. That is what my Druid practise is all about. Connection with nature, Connection with the wider community and connection with myself.

“I think the task before us is to re-learn what it means to walk as if everywhere is a temple. To approach how we are in relationship to the Living Earth as if it were a temple.” — Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee
