	Druid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aubrey was the first modern writer to connect Stonehenge and other megalithic monuments with Druidry, a misconception that shaped ideas of Druidry during much of the 19th century.
		Williams claimed to have collected ancient knowledge in a "Gorsedd of Bards of the Isles of Britain" he had organized, but in the 1970s, draft manuscripts of the texts were discovered among Williams' papers, exposing the texts as his own compositions.
		Modern Druidry), such as the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids (OBOD), are a continuation of the 18th-century revival and thus are built largely around writings produced in the 18th century and later.

		Druidry's modern worldwide appeal lies in its focus on reverence for the natural world, a belief in the value of personal creativity, and of developing a sense of communion with the powers of nature and the spirit.
		The Rebirth of Druidry is the definitive guide to the modern Druid movement, with contributions from chief Druids from America, Britian and France, as well as writers and mystics, healers and psychologists, professors and historians.
		Their discussion is divided into seven sections that explore the early roots of Druidry, its recent renaissance, its relationship to Christianity, and its relationship to the world of Nature, and the creative spirit.

	Echoed Voices: Under the Oak: On Druidry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Druidry in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries was profoundly shaped by the work of Iolo Morganwg (1747-1826), who studied with one of the last traditional Welsh bards and later tried to assemble the remaining fragments of bardic lore into a coherent whole.
		What unites Traditional British Druidry is a reverence for the lore and legend of the ancient Druids and a commitment to traditions of knowledge and practice evolved over the years since the Druid revival of the seventeenth century, not adherence to a particular creed.
		In onee sense, each Druid is his or her own priest, while in another sense Druidry is more a spiritual path than a religion, and focuses on direct relationships between the individual and the spiritual realm, rather than submitting such relationships to the mediation of clergy.

		Druidry, according to some, is the indigenous religion/spirituality of the British Isles.
		Unfortunately, since the Celts of Europe and the British Isles left nothing in the way of written records, we cannot be certain that "Druidry" was actually practiced by the Iron Age Celts as a religion, per se.
		Druidry, particularly as set forth by Emma Restall Orr and the British Druid Order, does in fact address and satisfy many of those needs.

		Where the attempt to bring British Druidry together failed absolutely was in the Council of British Druid Orders, which was rapidly taken over by some angry lads wanting to use the organization as a political force to further their own aims, and these were not in accordance with most Druids' beliefs.

		I would definitely recommend reading both this and 'Principles of Druidry' by Emma Restall Orr, as they both give different shades of what it is to walk the Druidic Path, and combined give a greater insight that alone.
		I have read a lot on druidry and indeed paganism and to say some of it can be a bit `academic` is an understatement.

	Spiral Nature - Spirituality - Druidry - An Overview of Trad Druidery
		Trad Druidry has only three elements as opposed to four (or 5 depending on how you look at it), it follows Brehon Law instead of the Wiccan Rede, and we avoid the "white robes and gold sickles" stereotype because we realize how flawed that misconception is.
		As is usual with most Llewellyn books, it has a hefty fluff element, but it at least bothers to mention things like the importance of the Tains, or myth cycles, that are so crucial to the religion, the origin of the Aurthurian myth, the oft forgotten symbology of the lance, cauldron, cup and dish.
		I hope I was able to shed a little light on the obscure tradition that is Trad Druidry, as well as fairly demonstrate the diversity among Druidry as a whole.

	The Druid Path - Druidry and Christianity
		The early form of the Celtic Christian church was still connected to Nature and the mysteries it held.
		Both Christianity and Druidry “deal essentially with the same mystery: the waxing and waning of the powers of light - its eternal triumph as it is continually resurrected from its apparent death, and its immanence with each one of us as the Christ Child or Mabon.”
		Modern Druidry expands the Christian Holy Family to include the Mother and the Daughter, reestablishing the feminine to deity, once again creating a balance.
