Real creativity and real community

(Nimue)

We humans are intrinsically social beings. Our mental and physical health depends in part on social connections but many of us are isolated. Having real experience of community is vital. I see the historic role of the Druid as having a community aspect to it. However, for modern people, Druidic celebration of the seasons is not part of life. So where do we fit, and what are we for?

“The more deeply involved we are with what we do, the more power it has to affect change.”

“I have lost track of how many times someone has written, or said in my presence that Druidry cannot be found in books. It has to be experienced. Which makes the idea of writing a useful book about Druidry seem like a bit of a nonsense. But in much the same way, a book cannot make you a kitchen cupboard either. It can tell you about tools, materials, potential problems and show you pictures of other people’s cupboards to inspire you. Making the cupboard remains your responsibility.”
― Nimue Brown, Druidry and Meditation

“We all enter into fallow periods in our lives, times of questioning, of crisis, of not-knowing; times of depression, stagnation, terror and loss. We return from them; changed. Later we enter them again. There is no ceasing of this pattern. And it is by attempting to halt the pattern – to avoid the pain/fear/loss part of it – that we cause the greatest damage to ourselves.”
― Jane Meredith, Journey to the Dark Goddess: How to Return to Your Soul

“The gray witch abhors violence, hatred, and conflict as much as the next person; but she’s not afraid to face these issues using the power she possesses to right a situation and reinstate balance. The gray witch doesn’t flinch at the earthier aspects of her craft that send the fluffy bunnies running for cover, clinging to their illusion of a perfect white world.”
― Amythyst Raine, Gray Witch's Grimoire
