DRUIDRY COURSE
A complete step-by-step Year and a Day course in Druidry
Druidry: A Year and a Day course
COMING VERY SOON.....
A new series of 13 modules that offer a complete step by step, Year and a Day course in Druidry . It provides a carefully structured form of nature spirituality for those who wish to practice Druidry alone, with friends and family, to start your own Druid grove or group or go on to join an official Druid organisation.
Each Druidic module will have a teaching/information component and numerous practical activities with step-by-step instructions for becoming a wise Druid or Druidess.
Whether you live in the centre of a city, by the ocean, in the countryside or suburbia, Druidry is rooted in the old Celtic world but is as relevant today, bringing Druidic practices into the everyday world and enriching that world with purpose and harmony.
Druidry introduces a more nature based, less formal approach to spirituality than Wicca. Some practitioners follow both Wicca and Druidry that can complement and enrich the other.
I also offer a complete online course in magick, Wicca and witchcraft that can be studied in a year and a day or extend over two or three years. Like the Druidry course, this gives a basis for solitary practitioners and covens alike.
The Druidy course modules will take a minimum of a month to study but in practice many students take much longer to explore the different activities in full and to record results; the more you learn the more you add to those experiences and insights through the months and years. One day you may begin your own Grove/Druidic group.
The course is a complete introduction to Druidry, wherever you live in the world intended for beginners and an expanding resource base for those who are more experienced.
There are no tests, no assessments, for the course is between you and the Old Ones who will share their wisdom to any with an open heart. You can however obtain a certificate of completion once you have studied the course and you may choose to join a more formal Druidic organization, having mastered all the basics of Druidry in these modules.
You may find it illuminating to keep and update a journal of your ongoing journey.
Apart from the two tree stave modules, the modules can be studied separately, but are intended to bring you to the understanding and practice of Druidry if you do follow them in order. The Tree staves, one of the main forms of personal divination in Druidry, form a central tool but again are purely optional.
The Dedication
Dedicate/initiate yourself (in practice they mean the same) to whomever you regard as your God/Goddess/source of light and goodness or your own Higher self and the Ancestors when and if you feel ready during your course.
Usually this will be when you have completed most of the modules. There is however an initial dedication described in Module 13 you may choose when you begin Druidry, plus ongoing blessing ceremonies of your woodland grove, your tools which are very simple: staff, tree staves, bag for carrying your natural treasures and a stone pendulum/hazel dowsing rod, all of which you can easily make or buy.
Some Druid/esses choose not to dedicate themselves believing they have the blessings already within themselves and the sacred grove.
The Treasury
Though much of the background material is contained within the modules there is an extensive Treasury that is packed with information that you can buy at any time or receive free with the whole course.
