Books similar to Living Druidry In Living Druidary Emma opens a doorway to this powerful and ancient spirituality. Grounded in everyday life and experience, this richly inspiring and accessible book guides you to find your own vision, and your own deep, ecstatic relationship with nature. Emma offers understanding about the mysteries of this spirituality sourced in the sanctity of nature, both defining and exploring the nature of the old gods, of spirit, soul and matter, of sacred relationship and the divine inspiration called awen. A celebration of natures cycles, perceiving the currents of nature, the wild energy of being alive, finding the beauty and stillness. Discern the patterns, cycles and tides of nature, the energetic flows of all that exists around us and within us. Heightened awareness of the natural world around and within. Perfect presence — focus into the here and now. The immediacy o f relationship as spirit encounters spirt, body touches body, feet on grass, fingers on wood, skin on skin. We can fully share the experience of the moment. Exploring the sensations of being alive. Only when we are able to relate to the tree through a consciousness of our own spirit do we feel that deep connection. Druid meditation — not a striving to put aside thoughts, about relationship, engaged, maintain attention, concentration, awake and open, spirit to spirit. Nemeton — sacred sanctuary with distinct boundaries. Sacred haven of the individual. Private temple. Having learned to approach another soul with Living Druidry: Magical Spirituality for the Wild Soul, accepting the edges of their nemeton with respectful awareness, then with clear consent coming together so that those edges may touch, the energy, tension, the vibration, the colour of their surface shimmering through us. This is the nature of deep sacred relationship: in trust with another, we surrender to the perfect presence of the moment, consensually to open the circles of our intimate space to each other, both sacred sanctuaries opening, crating one. Without veils and barriers that hide us, what we reveal is unspoken honesty more complete and brilliant than is possible to share in any other way. Like lightening to the soul, we are hit with the force of spirit as it touches spirit. Often a healer or midwife. Works with spirits of the dead, energies, powers of the land, the tides and the moon. Sometimes an artist reproducing images of her ovatic vision. Through touch or sight she is likely to perceive tension and disease, wounds, leaking energy, in living things. She learns Living Druidry: Magical Spirituality for the Wild Soul harrowing craft of empathy. She sees the pain but has no right to intervene. Change may be beyond her ability. Finding other ways in which to express the suffering she sees, as well as the wonder and glory of nature. For though at first she may be driven by a need to save or heal the world, through the power of presence she also learns acceptance. She makes a difference by expressing and perhaps changing the energy elsewhere, through the colours of her art, dance, photography, ceramics, cookery, in sharing her wisdom, understanding and awe, she knows that every thought and action touches the web of spirit. The wildness of our soul is the part that will not be pacified. Unkempt, ragged, unadorned, barefoot or completely naked, she runs amok in her exuberant individuality, devoid or inhibition, carefree and reckless. She lives on truth, both dark and light. Here is our creativity in its most raw and pure form, and to find a way to release it into free expression is a key part of Druidic practice, for to do so honours all that has guided us to be who we are. The most profound wildness is our wilderness — the wilderness of our soul remains unaffected and unchanged by others. Between Samhain and Alban Arthan is the time of the dead rich with stillness, darkness and potential. Thus might the priest find the hawthorn to calm her heart rate into serenity, the willow to alleviate pain or rosemary to clear her mind. Yet she knows she may not need to ingest any of these as herbal remedies. Instead, honouring the tree and entering its nemeton sanctuary with consent and respect, she sits beneath the hawthorn, the rough bark upon her back, and allows herself to slide into the deepest connection she can or needs to achieve. Her soul becomes filled with the song of the tree, of hawthorn-ishness, and letting go of all that holds her constrained and limited to her own body, she slips instead into Living Druidry: Magical Spirituality for the Wild Soul flow of energy that is the music of the tree. In profound need, she can open her soul so deeply that the awen shard is explosive, breaking the barriers that are Living Druidry: Magical Spirituality for the Wild Soul the problem. This is deep soul healing and yet so gently and simply done. I read the alternative media widely and I want to share some of the stories I read that relate to the UK. View all posts by Awakened-UK.

  • The Fifteenth Mount Haemus Lecture
    THE ORDER OF BARDS OVATES & DRUIDS MOUNT HAEMUS LECTURE FOR THE YEAR 2014 The Fifteenth Mount Haemus Lecture ‘Almost unmentionable in polite society’? Druidry and Archaeologists in the Later Twentieth Century by Dr Julia Farley Introduction Between 1950 and 1964, a major programme of archaeological excavations were carried out at Stonehenge, directed by archaeologists Richard Atkinson and Stuart Piggott. The excavations were not published in full until after Atkinson’s death (Cleal et al. 1995), but Atkinson penned a popular account of the site in 1956, entitled simply Stonehenge, which was aimed at “the ordinary visitor” (Atkinson 1956, xiv). The book was, in part, intended to dispel once and for all the popular notion that there was a direct connection between ancient Druids and Stonehenge. Atkinson went so far as to write that “Druids have so firm a hold upon the popular imagination, particularly in connection with Stonehenge, and have been the subject of so much ludicrous and unfounded speculation, that archaeologists in general have come to regard them as almost unmentionable in polite society.” (ibid., 91). This quote is notable for two reasons. Firstly, it highlights the often fraught relationships between archaeologists and Druidry in the mid-twentieth century and, secondly, it was soon to be revealed as demonstrably untrue. At the time that Atkinson was writing, the last major academic treatment of the ancient Druids was Thomas Kendrick’s The Druids, published in 1927. But a decade after the publication of Atkinson’s book, at a time of heightened tensions with modern Druid movements over rights and access to Stonehenge, two major academic monographs on ancient Druids were published (Piggott 1966, Chadwick 1966), as well as a scholarly work on ‘Pagan Celtic Britain’ (Ross 1967).

Wallis (Richmond University, London) Jenny Blain (Sheffield Hallam University) Paper delivered at the conference ‘Respect for Ancient British Human Remains: Philosophy and Practice’ Manchester Museum, 17 November 2006 Abstract Archaeologists worldwide increasingly engage with calls from indigenous communities for the repatriation and reburial of ancestral remains. In this paper, we present findings from the Sacred Sites, Contested Rights/Rites Project: Contemporary Pagan Engagements with the Past, now in its sixth year. Having examined the diversity of Pagan representations of the past and engagements with monuments, we turn our attention here to calls for respect and reburial with regard to prehistoric remains and associated artefacts held by museums and archaeology departments in Britain. These British Pagans, Druids in particular, are claiming a say in how human remains and associated artefacts are excavated by archaeologists and curated in museum and university collections.

  • Green Book of Meditations Volume Ten Research Resources On
    Green Book Of Meditations Volume Ten Research Resources On Druidism 2003 Introduction Originally this was going to be the bulk of ARDA 2’s Part Seven Miscellany, but due to some copyright concerns and the general wholeness of the subject matter, it seem that a Green Book was possible out of the material. Much of material of Section Two is from ARDA 1’s Part Eight, and much from ARDA 1’s Part Seven is now here in Section Three and Four. This section will naturally expand over the years, so it’s a good idea to separate it from the main body text of ARDA 2. I don’t wish you to misinterpret this book as if for me to say that you have to be fascinated and obsessed with Celtic research to understand Druidism. That’s not what I mean. Yes, I’ve studied the old ones, but I think there is more than can be learned form living plants and animals and each other than from the few remaining scraps. However, it’s still good and interesting to know, even if not practiced. I hope you enjoy it, and have fruitful research. Yours in the Mother, Mike Scharding March 20, 2003 Embassy of Japan, D.C.

  • BDO Grove Guidelines
    BDO Grove Guidelines (extracted from Druidry: Rekindling the Sacred Fire, BDO, 2002) These guidelines were originally composed by Emma Restall Orr, based on discussions between her and Greywolf over a number of years. The notes in brackets here and there have been added to explain how and why various clauses came to be included. Various alterations reflect changes in the structure of the BDO since this was written more than a decade ago. To honour individuality means that we must be tolerant of different ways within our tradition, so to lay down rules or dogma here would be anathema. However, bringing together the experience of running groves, of attending others, and what we have been trying to achieve through the BDO, we’ve put down here some ideas of what we’d like to see happening in a grove affiliated or joined to the BDO. - The festivals of the modern Druid tradition should be acknowledged, the turning of the solar and lunar tides, even if not all these days are celebrated by the grove as an open group. - The essentials of Druid ritual should be used, calling for peace, casting the circle, honouring the elements of creation, the spirits of the directions, the gods and the ancestors. - It is not necessary for grove members to be members of the BDO, though the grove organizers should be members in order to keep in touch with BDO ideas and programmes; it is not seen to be necessary by us that those who attend grove rites even term themselves Druids, though the grove organizers should find no problem in doing this.

  • The Varieties of Pagan Religious Experience at Ancient Sacred Sites
    64 Journal for the Study of Religious Experience ‘Gods, Wights1 and Ancestors’: The Varieties of Pagan Religious Experience at Ancient Sacred Sites Jennifer Uzzell Department of Theology and Religion, University of Durham [email protected] This article explores anomalous experiences reported by people identifying as Pagan whilst visiting places of ancient religious significance in the UK and the US. The article seeks to establish the extent to which these experiences conform to William James’ (2016, pp. 380–381) descriptors of mystical experience as ineffable, noetic, transient and passive, and suggests that while some of the experiences described do conform to the traditional categories, others describe a different sort of experience, possibly arising from a very different world view, which is neither monotheistic nor monist and as such is not concerned with concepts such as transcendence in the way that James used these terms. The article suggests that an alternative definition of ‘transcendence’ is required to accommodate these accounts. Experiences such as those described here are real and meaningful to those who have them but have, to date, been under-represented in research into religious experience. The article concludes that more research is needed into religious experiences within the context of the ‘new animism’ (Harvey, 2006). Keywords: Paganism; animism; ancient sites; religious experience; transcendence Introduction This article arose out of a wider piece of research into funerary and memorial practices among contemporary British Druids. One interesting aspect of this research concerned the construction in recent years of a number of long and round barrows, similar in outward appearance to Neolithic and Bronze Age constructions, but designed as a repository for modern cremated remains.
