I have been following Mother Earth for about 10 years now. She speaks to me through animals, trees, and flowers. Those who know me, know I am a tad odd but the Mother doesn’t care. I love to be barefoot, to feel the textures on my skin, to feel the vibes coming from the earth below my feet. I whole-heartedly trust nature. I trust it with my health, sanity and over all welfare…
I will start speaking of my journey .. I walk alone. I do not belong to a Grove, church if you will, of druids. I follow several druid face book groups, that I can reach out to when I need guidance or clarification but aside from that … the journey is mine and mine alone.
Do I believe in God ? I do … but I do not believe that God is ANYTHING like what contemporary religions illustrate him to be, nor do I believe that any contemporary religion has a clue what God really thinks, wants or desires of us… So I turn my attention to the things I believe “God” gave us .. Trees to provide us the oxygen we need to live, Plants that provide the medicines we need to remain healthy, and fed, and Animals that show us a different perspective one unclouded by greed and hidden agendas. A Dog, as an examle, lives for the present, loves completely and forgives unconditionally … the very epitome of love and devotion. This provision for our needs – physical, mental and spiritual – are far more feminine traits than masculine. So I pray to the Goddess, the Mother. Life is all about balance right ? So clearly there must be a masculine God as well. So i sometimes, pray to God the father… and I commune with both of them through the wonders of the world they have given me…

All historic accounts were written long after the druids faded to the shadows of this world, by the Greeks and Romans. For this reason alone, I travel this path solo. For no one really knows what the ancient Druids were, believed, or rituals they practiced…. I turn to nature, I listen and I learn and I evolve daily …
