The definition of Druidry and its practice as used by The Druid Network (also
referred to as ‘The Network’), laid down for the purposes of its Constitution.
1) Druidry was the native spiritual tradition of the peoples who inhabited the islands of
Britain and Ireland, spreading through much of Europe. Though many consider it to
have been a religion or political force that came to Britain with the influx of culture
concurrent with the Iron Age, it is increasingly understood, and within the Network
acknowledged, to be of an older indigenous if ever-evolving religious tradition
sourced within these islands.
2) a) As an ancient pagan religion, Druidry is based on the reverential, sacred and
honourable relationship between the people and the land. In its personal expression,
modern Druidry is the spiritual interaction between an individual and the spirits of
nature, including those of landscape and ancestry, together with the continuities of
spiritual, literary and cultural heritage.
b) Through this reverence, Druidic practice is based on honour for the ancestors,
considered sacred. In ancestral stories, in human nature and life’s patterns, in the long
river of history, in poetry and music, the Druid finds the divine inspiration known as
awen, the force that flows into his/her own sacred creativity of living, allowing depths
of understanding and wisdom.
c) Through this reverence, Druidic practice seeks too to understand the patterns of
nature outside humanity, within our environment, honouring the powers of nature as
wholly sacred. All life is deemed to be unconditionally sacred, bearing its own
intrinsic validity and purpose.
3) Those who practise Druidry do so through a deep spiritual connection perceived and
experienced with this land and culture, either directly (as residents) or through links
and empathies of ancestry, literature, art, history, heritage, philosophy and
mythology. So does Druidry continue to grow, not only in Britain, but all around the
world.
4) Though many shy away from the word ‘religion’ with its connotations of political
monotheism and authority, preferring the word spirituality, Druidry is a religion. Its
practitioners revere their deities, most often perceived as the most powerful forces of
nature (such as thunder, sun and earth), spirits of place (such as mountains and
rivers), and divine guides of a people (such as Brighid, Rhiannon and Bran).
5) a) Druidry cannot be defined by or limited to the reverence of one deity or a pantheon.
Thus while most within Druidry honour what are known as the Celtic named and
mythologized deities, others honour Christian, Saxon, Nordic or Classical Pagan
gods. Many honour animistic and conceptual forms of deity. These differences do not
divide or dilute the tradition, however, for such differences are integral parts of the
tradition’s essential nature.
b) The spirits of a place bring the richness of ecological diversity, encouraging us to
experience the wealth of different ecosystems, from moorland to meadows,
mountains to wetlands. So does reverence for life and nature engender a diversity of
practice in those expressing devotion and seeking to live in sacred relationship with
the spirits of a place. Thus is locality another factor that brings diversity to the
tradition.
c) Ancestral lineage, local history and heritage add diversity in the same way.
Generations of miners, fishermen or travellers, personal tragedy or wealth, close
family or solitude: all are factors that affect our spiritual seeking and expression. As
Druidry guides us to honour and learn from our ancestry and our path of life, so is this
diversity too a defining factor in Druidic practice, as is acceptance and indeed
celebration of this diversity.
d) Coherence is brought to Druidry upon the spiritual foundations of its reverence for
nature.
6) a) Based on reverence and respect for life itself, and the practice of seeking
honourable relationship with all, Druidry guides us to live with truth and
responsibility.
b) While sacrifice is a core notion within most world spiritual traditions, within
Druidry it is confused by historical accounts of the killing of both human and animal
victims. No such practice is deemed acceptable within modern Druidry. What is
sacrificed within the tradition today is that which we value most highly in life and
hold to with most passion: time, security, certainty, comfort, convenience, ignorance,
and the like. Indeed, most Druidic sacrifice is expressed through work that benefits
the wider community and the planet as a whole, such as environmental volunteering,
ethical consumerism, spiritual education, dissemination of information, caring for
family and community (notably children, the sick, the elderly and dying) and creative
expression.
7) Most Druidic practice is celebrated openly. Public ritual ceremonies marking the
seasonal festivals are open and free to all. Examples of these include the gorseddau at
Avebury and Stonehenge (Wiltshire). Many Groves or individuals practise quiet ritual
and meditation in public places, whether that be city parks, open beaches, forests or
stone circles, while some prefer the privacy and convenience of their homes and
gardens for prayers, ritual and meditation. There are no occult, secret or hidden
practices within Druidry; teachings are open to all
I can explain what Brython is and who we are. I still have trouble explaining what druidry is even with TDNs definition.
