Seven gifts of druidry

I decided to post this because we are in a time of change where being grounded on the land offers many benefits and healing. Yes I am a tree huger aspirant druid (one day I hope) and I love this planet and all its beings with all my heart

Life has two tracks on Earth, the track of the matrix and the track of the land. By the land I do not imply that we have to ditch technology. I think that technology and the love of the land or the goddess can coexist. The love of the goddess does not imply sexual segregation or discrimination, not at all, for a system where there is no balance can not last as we are seeing as the events unfold around us

This is a message of hope and possibilities, a seed thought that can spark the imagination

This is a trailer for a movie that is not free but the message is still strong without seeing the movie

It is interesting how things seem to appear in dichotomies. Very of ten they are two sides to the same thing. Perhaps these are the distillations of a foible inherent to the human condition. ...perhaps a product of Fears and Hopes, pain and pleasure, not to mention that dividing things in to twos seems to come naturally to a lot of persons these days...

Now the real question is...is this divisive be havior truly a human thing, or is it merely a product of the latest cultural system (you know for the past several centuries?) {on second thought, it may be Yin and Yang, inherent in the natural system...)

What I'm getting at is this: Our "science" has defined everything. The Buddhists say than when you define a thing, you limit it to that. A physics person would say: "You collapse the wavefunction."

By defining our entire reality and surrounding (hell... utterly, completely immersing ) ourselves with clocks, TV's, engines, radiations and pollutions, we have lost contact with the subtle forces that underlie our very existence.

This truly natural harmony is what we see when we watch animals in their natural environment. This is one reason nature documentaries are so popular; they appeal to the root parts of our brain that says "This is good, this is what we need."

By learning to intuit and feel what is good for ourselves, and for solving our problems, we can not only learn new ways of using our resources, but learn new ways of defining the problems....



But here is the real problem:

"Any society's technology is only so good as it's ability to measure." (Carl Jung...I think*)


We have to learn to build devices that detect, measure, and possibly even modulate the subtle energy fields that drive life itself.

Quartz and other crystals are perhaps the purest molecular manifestation of materials in this reality; and the Hydrogen atom represents the pure atomic vibration.

Hi Threecaster, I don't know if duality is a natural condition of humans. From a druidic perspective all is set in triads, or at least that is what I am learning

On that note I will infer that the duality problem might be a disconnection from a third force. That force being the planetary mother whom connects us with the rest of the cosmic consciousness

For several millenia humanity has been focused on worshiping gods that have been absent from the planet and have no face or history. There has been us the sinners, lowly humans and He or whoever else have been theoretically there. But we could not perceive ourselves as equal or equally beneficial

Hence, personally for me, the three world of the druids are rather appealing: Our world with our mother Earth, the world of the Fairies and the world of the goddesses and gods which are our ancestors. It is all very friendly and egalitarian

If we put somethings down to make others higher we break the balance of egalitarism and we set in motion rather a lot of misery for ourselves and the world at large?

I hope this makes sense

Oh indeed.

I ain't call'd threecaster fer nuthin!

Mayhaps we are moving from a dual harmonic to a three-node level of vibration.

I'm seeing psychic phenom on the rise in those around me, and on broader levels in general.

I keep getting this vibe of "in-between" here, like ...ok...when you have the dichotomies from earlier, I kept wanting to express the gradients in between those two points, or to follow through, the area inside the triangle.

As humans, we "connect the dots", but that means we like to make dots; thusly we tend to focus on them and forget about the spaces in between. To be more specific: lately the chaos and tearing down is related to the devicive ways of thinking....fighting...dividing...etc...

With three ways of thinking about things, there are automatically more options. Some friends and I were discussing the presidential campaign, and he could not see outside the two-party system. In that regard, the Elephants And Asses are being shown as our only choices, which is intended as a blinder to other ways of accomplishing public concerns.

So I think your idea is rather lovely!

Many of the truths I carry around have come from the Druidic traditions. {I do have "Treehugger" on the back of my truck!")

You can almost always trust a tree. (unless you have a chainsaw in your hand...)

I'm a full supporter of Ancient Astronauts. Our entire culture is a mutation arriving from the legacy of Technically advanced beings who gave us (some of) their genetic material, and set up a monarchy to keep us in check.

The humans in power since then have done everything their craven little minds could come up with to keep the average person convinced they are powerless and insignificant. (Which we know just ain't so! )

"It's the same ol song all over again!"

Well...guess what! That song is ending and a new one is starting!

Here we need the language of music!

Music is one of the languages of the bards

Beyond belief by Philip Carr Gomm, very interesting talk about magic and other related subjects

I just wanted to clarify that by posting these videos I am not intending to promote in any way or form the courses that OBOD has. I think the information that I am sharing might assist in clarifying many concepts that have been circulating in the new age movement as well as to inform on what druidry is

To be a druid one does not need to take a course. It starts by reconnecting with nature. Nature and natural observation are great teachers and that is my experience

Of course taking a course can focus the mind but there are also many "hedge" or solitary druids that have never taken a course

If there is anyone interested in the concept of druidry, there is an excellent book "The Path of the Forest" by Julie White and Graeme K Talbots which is a brief but comprehensive starter

I found the "21 Lessons of Merlin" to be a wonderful book!

I haven't read that one but I will put it in my reading list. Thank you for the suggestion Threecaster

As I mentioned before I am a tree lover and in my travels I came across this wonderful site with a lot of information about celtic tree lore http://dutchie.org/celtic-tree-lore/

This month until the 17th of March is the month of the Ash or Nion...makes you wonder if there is any relation with Ash Sunday...

This song is about Arianrhod and her silver wheel. I feel particularly close to her and love this song

Full moon is on the 8th

We are in the month of Cantlos since the 29th of February and we will be honoring the Alder tree soon F – Fearn, the Alder Month (March 18th – April 14th)

Alders like water



The Vernal equinox is the 20th
