Return to the Garden
The Druids were not a dogmatic people, and it would be entirely reasonable if you see gnosis in nature, to adopt the Druid name. You would not dishonour the ancestors having no static doctrine and gaining wisdom from observances of nature, and keeping of human history. To declare yourself a Druid is merely to say…

Druid Creed
It’s hard to say much that’s absolute about Druid creed, because as part of their creed they were not absolutist thinkers. The culture the Druids would be most like is the Magi, and they would often later be called Magi in Latin records of them. They were rationalists, but not materialists. Before the advent of…

First Sexuality
Why is it we can be open with a lover, but not with a parent? I have learned not to tell my Mom anything. Actually, that’s simple. It is one of the dark truths I don’t talk much on, because people get really inflamed. Are you familiar with Freud or Jung? They both sort of…

Now What?
There is an old Native American practice, or rather non practice. They never apologized. Can you guess why? It’s about connecting in the wrong way. To say “I am sorry” is almost self insult. Yes. The way they saw it, they needed to do something, or you did, and apology was pointless. They understood the…
