Mexico City. Just started to follow Tea with a Druid. Thank you for the opportunity, for sharing, for keeping uploaded the sesions ❤
Came back to this video to comment after watching it earlier this week. While the whole conversation resonated with me (your gentle tone spoke to me just as much as the words actually being said) , what drew my attention the moment I hit play was the lovely wall of books in the background. My husband and I love books. We love reading them. Collecting them. We give them as gifts. Every single room in our house has books in them. My spiritual space has them as well. There is a saying that "a room without books is like a body without a soul". I find that I can't feel comfortable in a space without them. It feels cold.
I wanted to mention it because, whether intended or not, your books immediately made me feel at home in this video. It made my soul feel warm and happy. 🥰🥰🥰
Looking forward to watching the rest of this series. 😊
I am in Blackpool. 20+ years practicing solitary pagan. Initially followed a Wiccan path but quickly realised this was not for me. Then started calling myself an eclectic witch but I knew it wasn't right. I feel like I have been looking for so long when my second youngest child was born and has a natural fascination with nature and trees and stones. I would call him my 'Little Druid'. On numerous meditations I would ask for guidance and received none. I stopped asking and suddenly I was greeted by who I believe was Elen of the Ways. That is how she presented herself and she took me elsewhere. Since then I have dipped in and out of researching Druidry over 6-8months. Now I truly believe this is the path i being guided to. A true spiritual path that fits not only my beliefs but my practices but with community and love. I hope to take the courses in coming months and years. Thank you.
I found you discussing the enlightenment coming in small parts connected with me a bit. I believe I may have experienced a little moment of illumination and then returned back to normal as you said, but a little bit changed. It's quite a long story so I'll shorten it; I was very depressed for a long time, it got very dangerous for me at one point. But then I discovered the stories of Arthurian legends, the knights and the druids. It sparked something inside me that had been dark for so long, I felt a rush and my heart suddenly leapt out. I went out on a weekend trip to Tintagel, a place with a lot of Arthurian history to it. I have never felt like I did then. My mind normally races but it slowed down, time and the world around me slowed down and It was as if I could finally see the true beauty of everything around me. I sat on the rocks down by Merlins cave, looking down at the people below, feeling the wind in my hair and the sun touching everything in sight, I just sat there and breathed, painted the lands before me, and any burdens I had were gone. I've never felt to purely serene and connected to the world in my entire life. My heart sang and my entire being connected to this place like I never could have imagined. Then I had go home. Things returned back to normal, that trip was just a moment of illumination for me. However I came out of that a little changed. I now look out of the window of the bus to and from college every day, where once I found the scenery repetitive and dull; I smiled to see all of the nature I pass by. My mind slows down a bit now, my depression isn't cured (it can't ever be fully cured I'm sure) but I have never felt so little of an effect from it on me - I'm no longer a danger to myself, because I know there are things to live for that I had never noticed before, so much to learn and so many things that my heart calls out for! Sorry this was quite a long message, but that moment for me was just beyond beautiful, words cannot describe that turning point for me, and beginning this path of druidry and listening to your Tea With a Druid series is thanks to my discovering of the Arthurian tales and the history of the druids. I come from an atheist background, with parents who would look down upon and ridicule me for wanting to follow this path, but ever since Tintagel - I know that I need to open up and seek out what my heart and soul begs for, it brings positivity and heals in a way I didn't think I could be healed.
Very inspiring talk . I hope they all continue as I pursue this journey
Hello, This is the first time I have tuned in it would seem that I was supposed to be guided here at a time that is very significant for me. Thank you for helping me to see that the current issues I have can be handled in a much loving way and that I can have the outcome I seek without acrimony. Bliss. Lioness
This vídeo still is one of my favorites in this series! Thank you so much!
That’s great to hear Cristiane! :)
"Provisional Living"... Wow those two words explain so much about human behavior I am somewhat astounded.
I'm coming back this year to listen to all of these in order. Absolutely lovely, thank you again Philip!
Northern Rivers, NSW Australia :) I just found this one on your explanation re how it strated in your final Tea... Thank you, wonderful Philip, for all that you offer us with your enthusiastic yet gentle wisdom energy.
I didn't know I needed this until I watched it. Thank you 😢
I have just discovered your series here on RUclips and am very excited to begin my exploration of the Druid path of spirituality. Thank you for making these available. I find a deep sense of comfort here and look forward to digesting each episode in turn. So much to learn, so much to feel! Blessings and love from Connecticut.
I’m very late to the party but I’m so glad I went back and watched this, it’s really helped me, thankyou
Started my journey here today with you Philip look forward to growing with every video.
Yesterday, I self initiated today I found this. Awen, awen, awen.
Thank you Philip! I’m at home sick today and your video has given me great peace and a sense of healing. I enjoyed the information about illumination vs. enlightenment.
Starting off my path of Tea With a Druid today, I'm excited to listen to this one and catch up with all the others to come~
I first heard of you through Ivan McBeth's book The Bardic Book of Becoming, and so I subscribed to your channel and am excited to begin watching your videos as I drink my morning tea. I definitely think this will be a great morning ritual. Be well Philip, and have a good day!
I loved this talk! It is rare for me to be able to sit and watch something for more than a few minutes without having to be reading or painting or crocheting at the same time, but you have had me mesmerized the whole time! You are a very captivating speaker. I have just decided to follow the Druid path, and my life has already started to bloom. I have access to books and websites, but this is the first time i've found a person offering information so I am so grateful!
Thank you for your kind words! How beautiful that your life has started to bloom! Many blessings, Philip
Many blessings to you as well!
It occurred to me I'm in the trap of provisional living. Thank you for this what a great video.
Thank you for this video, it's my first time here and it won't be my last! I see now that I can have the outcome I seek without acrimony by letting people know what I want to happen with an approach of more love, wisdom and understanding. Bliss Lioness
I’m all caught up on DruidCast podcast. Now I’ve started a RUclips Premium subscription just so I can go back and listen to all the Teas and Fireside Chats without having to keep the phone screen on. All the talks and interviews are so warm and inspiring.
so lovely ...and I love the distinction between enlightment and wisdom,I felt the same thing with Boedhism, as a far away goal hard to reach and how relaxing the approach of wisdom that grows organically ..../I\
Hello from Vancouver Island, BC, Canada.
Thank you..
I found this, by searching for vids of Damh the Bard, who did one or i dont know yet, maybe more.. I got interested and gave this a try..
Lucky me..
i will keep watching and i look forward to a lot of videos, till i am "up tp date"..
You open up a world to me, that i am in already, i think - without realising
Thank you, Philip, for your amazing talk! Gabriele from Kelheim (home of the Celts), Germany
I thought i'm wasting my time on yet another spiritual talk on youtube that gets nowhere, but how glad am I finding I was wrong!
This is beautiful and rare to hear these days. thank you!
So very inspiring, thankyou so much.
beginnings can be so delightful! thank you philip. 🙏
Yes, 17 minutes (whatever it was, I so enjoyed that I lost track...) was perfect, indeed, and lured me in to something I knew I was seeking, but didn't know how to pursue... I look forward to catching up on what I've missed as I am a late-comer to this series... THANK YOU!
Your video popped up alongside a RUclipsr I watch and enjoy. I'm thrilled I clicked on this video. You have a wonderful way of speaking that was informative and welcoming. I'm on my own spiritual journey which surprises me. I agree with the 'community' desire that the participants to the retreat you had were looking for. Spot on for almost anything we endeavor it seems, when there is a community aspect about it that nurtures you it fulfills you in ways you didn't even know were lacking. I look forward to catching your FB live on Monday. I'm in California.
Just found you... from South Carolina in the US. So excited to hear all your talks and lessons... thanks for being here!!
Thanks a lot Philip! Your idea about enlightment and wisdom inspire me. Watching your videos is like talking with a kind, wise old friends. Learn a lot from it! Maybe I should join a Druid order and learn this natural wisdom:) By the way I'm from China.
Thank you!! I'm from Portugal!

Fantastic video and hello from Shropshire
Fireside chat with Eimear Burke December 25, 2020! Phillip many blessings Ukulele HollyBloe USA
interesting that there isn't a central meditation for everyone to share is an important experience in the later videos i think it bonds people. insightful take on the different versions of the tale of taliesin. provisional living does not sound good, we need to live right now. the way in which the video broke up and pixellated minutes before the end was an unintentionally effective surreal moment. it is fascinating to see human face break up into squares, maybe you should do it more often.
Yolo and will sorely miss ltf
Tea is great! Love UKULELE HOLLY BLOE VIRGINIA USA BARD MUSIC

I had a friend who became enlightened by chanting and heavily meditating. Her brain lit up with a white fire. She struggled for months to stay in her body. Outside stimulus was out of the question. Two friends were recruited to accompany her at most occaisions. Lost its attraction for me.

Whatever the authenticity of Colin Robertson's Druidic Order of the Pendragon, it's sure is a million, billion light years away from OBOD...remember guys and girls, there's more to the Druid renascence that what the flower power has recently contributed...
