Reilig's Profile at Vampire Rave.

We are the druids. Mysterious worshipers of nature and the sun seeking to gain access to a source of profound wisdom.

We believe that the world we see is not the only one that exists. A cornerstone of our belief is in the existence of the Otherworld – a realm or realms which exist beyond the reach of the physical senses, but which are nevertheless real.

This Otherworld is seen as the place we travel to when we die. But we can also visit it during our lifetime in dreams, in meditation, under hypnosis, or in ‘journeying’, when in a shamanic trance.

In the second century the Celts believed that to be born in this world, we had to die in the Otherworld, and conversely, that when one dies here, wone is born into the Otherworld. For this reason, Druid funerals try to focus on the idea that the soul is experiencing a time of birth, even though we are experiencing that as their death to us.

Much of Druid thinking and all of its practice is the idea or belief that we are all connected in a universe that is essentially benign – that we do not exist as isolated beings who must fight to survive in a cruel world. Instead we are seen as part of a great web or fabric of life that includes every living creature and all of Creation. This is essentially a pantheistic view of life, which sees all of Nature as sacred and as interconnected.

Druidry is a way of life that opens the heart and energy channels so that we may generate the levels of personal power required to open the portal into the Summerlands. Nobody else can do it for us, or carry us to the goal. Druidry is a state of consciousness whose intent is our healing – becoming whole once again – and restoring the Soul of this beautiful yet damaged Earth.

Be not too wise, be not too foolish,
be not too conceited, be not too diffident,
be not too haughty, be not too humble,
be not too talkative, be not too silent,
be not too harsh, be not too feeble.
If you be too wise, one will expect (too much) of you;
If you be too foolish, you will be deceived;
If you be too conceited, you will be thought vexatious;
If you be too humble, you will be without honour;
If you be too talkative, you will not be heeded;
If you be too silent, you will not be regarded;
If you be too harsh, you will be broken;
If you be too feeble, you will be crushed.
