Why Druidry

Hibernian Order of Druids and The Owl Grove

Welcome to the WHY DRUIDRY? Pages

Here you can read why HOOD members chose this Path

I started on the Druid path because it is something I always wanted to do. I have been Pagan since I was quite young around my late twenties. I remember watching the Summer Solstice on TV and thinking that if I only could get in touch with a group of Druids I would join.

It was a long time later that I got in touch with Mel and I have never ever looked back; For me I feel it was the path that I was meant to walk and that being a Druid is in your blood - you are born one.

Blessings,

Completing my training and being initiated into the Owl Grove was, for me, the culmination of a lifelong interest in Celtic Mythology and a profound respect for the natural world.

Since 2001, I've been researching Irish Pagan culture for my PhD in Folklore and Ethnology, at University College Cork. I'm interested in the variety of ways in which people express their spiritual beliefs and Paganism is full of diverse and fascinating practices. I'm also interested in learning more about different magical systems and about areas of the supernatural. The study of Paganism provides access to many areas of interest to me in my studies.

I am an Honorary Druid member of the Owl Grove.

Druidry brings me closer to the things that move me, the life and breath of Mother Earth, the beauty of her, the complexities of her...the mysteries of existence, past and present... the simplicity, yet depth and meaning of ritual..the connection to the spirit realm and nature, the closeness to Deity...the warmth and connection between those who follow that Path, and the concern and compassion we all feel for what is happening in and around not only ourselves, but in the air we breathe, the water we drink and skies above us. Druidry has brought relief, understanding, and the knowledge to cope with the pains I personally have been through on this life's journeys.

Its' wisdoms and mysteries are indeed enlightening, body, mind and spirit. There is so much more to say, but this I believe is where I will leave it...
