“Our identity is intimately tied to the stories we tell about ourselves and the world, both consciously and unconsciously.”

“Tradition can be double edged. It can provide a map for us, guiding us along routes that others have taken, and give us heart in difficult times. It can also condition us to experience reality in a very narrow range, fogging over the freshness of the world with a dullness of expectations and belief.”

“In contrast to the historical-religious approach of the Reconstructionists are the modern Druids, practitioners of Druidry. Historically it is possible to trace the roots of this movement to the 18th century English revival, which had more in common with Freemasonry than with any ancient Celtic religion. The approach today has been influenced by the environmentalism of the 60’s and is altogether more wild and pagan than the Romantic gentry of England intended. Druidry is an ever shifting thing; to some a religion, to some a philosophy, to some a spiritual path. Although it includes historical inspirations from the ancient Celts, it is more focused on the present and exhibits more freedom in its innovations.”
