It's really nice to see someone else studying with one of the orders plus reading a variety of books etc :) I'm a member of the Ancient Order of Druids in America (AODA), that Dana leads as Grand Archdruid. They focus on ecological awareness and wildcrafting your druidry, which means it also works if you're in Europe like me. I've been a Candidate for 3,5 years now, and only now I feel I am nearly ready to progress to the next level. I'm also a member of the British Druid Order (BDO), which is based more in historical research and a reconstruction of what the British/Celtic indigenous practice could be today. I have the complete bardic course available after being a member for more than a year, but I've decided to focus on the AODA curriculum for now. Someday maybe I'll also join OBOD, cause I really liked the samples and the audio option they have as a more traditional way of learning. But that's way way ahead in my future. Danni Lang is another RUclipsr. She isn't very active currently, but has posted lots of videos on druidry on her own channel - including a review of all three OBOD courses - and on the PaganPerspective collab channel. She is a wonderful source for more in depth info and for book recommendations. Because we can always use more books on our TBR list...XD
I've just recently gotten into druidry myself and I've heard lots of opinions on druidry as a whole. People say you need to follow or practice certain things to be a druid. You have to be pagan, worship celtic gods, have an enormous amount of knowledge and wisdom in order to call yourself a druid. I personally feel that druidry is being in tune and one with nature. Respecting, Loving and caring for it. Raising your own spiritual awareness and bonding with nature. What are your thoughts on this?
I messed up and got just online stuff and now trying to get my past gwers because studying just online is confusing me. And I have read tons on druidry magick wicca you name it. Its better to focus on one tradition so your mind is scattered and unfocused. Hopefully that made sense lol
