and by the way, druidism is a dying, if not dead, religion.

and if you post something this off topic, please put "OT:" in the subject line.



Not only that. If you are a FIRM believer of Druidry you have to have studied for 20 years and be initiated by the Order of druids in order to call yourself one. The movement has been revived BUT it is not nor has it ever been an easy order to join. As someone who has studied it for a few years I will NEVER say I am a druid only that I follow that path or a similar one and no starting a bunch of druid clubs in ireland is not that wise of an idea considering druids used to also be priests but once christianity had a stronger foothold you had to forsake druidry if you were into it to become a priest or be cast out.
"Calling all druids"
There are few real druids to be called and they have their own order :P .

Nicohls book was recently released and it seems since then everyone thinks they are a druid. Its VERY Disrespectful to call yourself one unless you have been initiated.

:clapping: well spoken

it would be like calling yourself a priest after just having received your first Holy Communion to say you're a Druid after reading just one book and collecting some herbs for a few poultices

I completely agree with you, but the original poster was suggesting the founding of "druid clubs" in Canada, not in Ireland.

"Pagan" is a catch-all term for non-Judeo-Christian religions, which includes, but is not limited to, various neo-pagan and neo-shamanistic practices (the term also includes Buddhism and Hinduism, by the way). It is not, and has not ever been, a single religion, or even a single KIND of religion.

True, Redwolf. Again we have someone who has not got his facts right and is therefore dabbling in something beyond him.

Oh, I see - I sew as well, never seem to get anything to fit off the rack.

I'd love to take you up on your offer if you still have the dress :D

How much for shipping (I wanted to say this in Gaelic but figured I'd butcher the grammar too badly)?

Go raibh maith agat,
