Hi everyone! So I’ve been looking into a lot of the different ‘Celtic’ mythology and Celtic paganism and of course the other world popped up specifically when I were looking at the Tuatha Dé Danann I want to ask your opinion on these two questions

1. What do you all believe happens when we pass and how. (If anything)

2. Are there multiple places we go depending on how we live.

3. Is this “otherworld” somewhere you are happy going to?

Hello all, first off. I witnessed this beautiful sunset the other day and wanted to share with you all. :)

I plan to travel to the UK this summer and looking to hopefully meet some fellow druids, attend events, any special hikes or wilderness walks that are a must see, and obviously visit Stonehenge.

Dates are not set yet but if I find a particular event that interests me, I will try and build my trip around that. I am planning to go 2 weeks in July at some point, doesn't look like late June is going to work for me so I won't be able to attend any summer solstice events.

Thanks in advance :)

Im curious and love all about paranormal, I wonder if some of you had any weird, unexplainable or directly paranormal experience? Thanks and have a great week

When I was a child, I wanted to be a pilot. My family was Christian and so was I up until a few years ago. That interest held until I went to college and got my degree in aeronautics and obtained my pilot certifications. Afterwards, I joined the U.S. Army (roughly 4.5 years ago) as a helicopter engine mechanic with the intention of becoming a pilot.

There have been numerous delays and obstacles in me trying to become a pilot since then. During that time, a couple years ago, I had discovered paganism and Druidry and decided to embrace that. This created some doubts about being a pilot, especially in the army, due to the negative impacts to the environment of the aviation industry as a whole.

After some time, I started to stagnate a bit in my spiritual journey. I started focusing more on my career, put the doubts out of my mind, and started the process of building my flight packet again. In December I had completed my full medical exam and was waiting for the results when I had a bike accident that broke my arm and injured my knee, requiring surgery (thus halting all progress until I fully recover 6-9 months from now).

Every time I get close, something happens to hold me back. I can’t help but feel that something or someone is trying to tell me to stop. It’s either that or I just have terrible luck.

But anyway, the doubts about that career path are back in full swing now that I have plenty of time to think. Now, I would happily acknowledge the message and my doubts and give it up, but unfortunately my college degree has left me with a not insignificant amount of student debt. While I can live off of the Army’s salary, I currently have no plans for the future.

I don’t regret embracing Druidry; it has made my life much brighter, but I wish I did it before I went to college and got a degree for a job that goes against my current beliefs. Maybe I’m just venting here, but if anyone has some wisdom worth sharing, I’d gladly receive it.

I’m still an early beginner on this path. However, I had some good conversations with some friends of mine. For some background, I am a Marine Corps Combat Vet, my two friends I talked with are a former Marine scout sniper and a former Marine that eventually worked as a mercenary in Africa and then Ukraine. One of them is a Norse Pagan and the other is on the Druid path like me. We all agreed the level of violence we saw and participated in was unwarranted and unacceptable. We also all agreed that it is important for people to know how to utilize violence in defense of ourselves and nature. I am not advocating terrorism or anything of the sort. I just would like to know everyone’s opinions on violence as a concept within the context of Druidry.

It dreams of laughter and songs

I sat with it, mustered up as much of a laugh as I could, and whistled a song for it

I'm now an official marriage officiant tho I'm not quite prepared to do weddings and blessings just yet I'm happy to say I can do them hopefully in the near future

Left abramic behind during the Gulf war 1993ish. During that time many forms of paganism has been explored.

Animisim has and is the core of my path ( native American grandfather one one side. A Norwegian grandfather on the other). A wiccan friend of mine came with me on a trek thru nature(she needed some herbs) and she suggested mixing animisim with light Druidry. And it just feels right.

A glance of deities has brought me to 2, Brigid, who I've made offerings to before and Mielikki(sp) think I'll start working with both.

Anyway, just wanted to share. I'll be following this subreddit often. Thank you who take the time to read this.

Im just wondering if this has happened to any one else

I am curious if anyone has any experiences or perspectives to offer in regards to working with Rabbit Spirit.

Are there tables of associations or qualities that are ascribed to Rabbit?

I would expect Swiftness, Alertness, etc?

What are some myths, stories and legends that relate to Rabbit?

I have been told so far that Rabbit is good luck. Others have said Rabbit is a trickster. I was advised against working with "Prey animals" by another.

Given their natural proclivities, I would assume Rabbit would be a fertility symbol of sorts as well.

What can y'all teach me about working with this energy?

When will the summer solstice celebrations at Stonehenge be in 2024? I know it’s technically the 19th/ 20th June this year because of the leap year rather than the usual 20th/21st June. Can anyone confirm when the celebrations will be?

Hi, very uneducated Pagan here. After seeing what druidism is, and being a student in a horticulture class, I feel like this is my kinda thing. One problem though, i dont know how or where to start! Theres so much to learn and my brains overwhelmed. Any help?

I've been having this reoccuring problem at my house. One of my family members has this crazy obsession with poisoning the weeds on our farmhouse property. He goes around with his weedkiller in the summer and sprays it on anything that looks remotely weed-like. He does this even when we tell him not to.

The year before last, he killed off our hillside of daisies (thank goodness they're too stubborn to die that easily. They came back next year.)

Last year, he killed our three giant lilac bushes and refuses to admit he did that. I doubt they'll ever look the same again.

And now this year, he's saying that he's going to get weedkiller so he can kill the moss, of all things, growing on the rocks by the barn.

So if anyone has any tips on how to deal with poisoned soils, poison run-off, or stuff that might help the effected plants, wildlife, and groundwater, that would be great.

Anything from rituals to ease my upset mind and practical advice on how to deal with the problems hand-on is welcome.

Hi!! I was just wondering how you guys feel about witchcraft? I am starting my journey as a forest witch which use a lot of supplies from the forest such as moss, bark and different wild plants for their spells! I feel like this is a perfect branch for me as a guy who practices Druidism as it uses nature and respects it dearly! 💚

Hello all you happy people.

So I have a bit of a question I would like to pose to you wonderful much more knowing about the topic people than I am.

To cut short the story- I am feeling like the best spiritual path for me currently is to transfer from Wicca to Celtic Paganism while keeping the witchcraft.

My husband says that would make me a Druid because that's what a celtic pagan witch technically is.

I thought that while you could say have 'similar' rites, rituals, spells and whatnot they are actually two separate paths that just happen to walk along the same road.

So to aid me in making sure I'm not doing something wrong in many ways I felt it was best to ask the wise people here.

Thanks for all answers!

This is something I have had to learn the hard way of dealing with quite debilitating depression over the last decade and sacrificing my own mental and spiritual well being for my family and friends.

You are worthy of the love you give.

If you're anything like me and are a people pleaser, try, for one day, to people please yourself. Today, I took myself out for a date, so I went to some botanical gardens, got a small tattoo, and got my favorite boba tea from a shop an hour away from my house I haven't visited in a year, and I am riding such a high. I'm low-key kicking my feet about how much I enjoyed today and I feel like my heart is starting to beat again with a vitality I haven't experienced since I was little. So, next time you find yourself prioritizing others in a time you're in need of healing, remember you are worthy of genuine love given from yourself. And no, I don't mean quick fixes of napping and eating fast food and calling that "rest" self-care/me time, I mean full on a day where you put in the same amount of effort into a date you would take a partner out on.

I am going to my first stone circle equinox. I was wondering what to expect? What should I know before I go? Many thanks

Edit: Sorry I mean solstice (after a little brain damage my memory isnt so great). I'm going to Castlerigg stone circle.

A while ago, I did that thing where you let your hand write without looking at what you're writing or having a plan, and I had been working with Brigid during this, and I wanted to share it for anyone who would resonate.

"Can you hear the music? Dance and be free, celebrate that which you have, not what you have lost. Become freedom incarnate."

I had a dream a while back after praying for guidance in life. I was still Christian then (still not sure what my faith is now), but a familiar individual came to me in my dream. He had the horns of a deer and wore a cloak of amber leaves. He wore a torc and behind us was all sorts of wildlife, I can't remember what exactly. He was barefoot and was standing next to me in a grove of trees and standing stones. He put his hand on my shoulder and told me to find peace within myself and to have confidence, and that all else would come together. I was pagan for a while and my patron then was Cernunnos, and I've recently been delving back into Druidry. I'm wondering what y'all think, but. Could he have stuck by my side this whole time and have answered my prayer?

Hello! I came across this symbol on the stag card in the druid animal oracle deck. I've struggled to find any information on it or its association with this animal oracle. I've got theories but would love to hear from the community before making assumptions. Thank you for your insights!
