Welcome
Welcome to Caer Abred: Forum of the Druidic Order of Naturalists

Druidic Naturalism holds that there is only Nature and that the scientific method is the best suited to determine the nature of Nature. This is balanced with an aesthetic response to the world that is in line with that shared by the Druid community as a whole.

Druidic Naturalists will probably tend to be Pantheist, Agnostic or Atheist, yet see in Druidry an appropriate philosophy that allows one to honour ones Land and Ancestors in a way that establishes a healthy, and ethical, relationship with them and with ones fellow creatures.

Druidic Naturalism, as it has developed so far, embraces ritual, art and celebration as effective and satisfying ways to express this secular spirituality.

I cut my philosophical and spiritual teeth here. The first place I got a sense of community outside of Christianity. Enjoyed many an event with Pagans and exchanged great ideas. Because it is largely undefined and differs from individual to individual it is the perfect place to experiment with any idea you want and not have to be commited to it, until finally you find yourself settling somewhere.

There is freedom and inspiration in it.Its diverse and no-one proselytises.You can fit yourself into it. I have a confession I kind of fit into the freestyle shamanic practioner section.

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

Thats me too. I find modern paganism is a very accepting, tolerant exciting bubbling cauldron of ideas and richly inspiring for me in encouraging me in the creative arts and self expression. I think commitment is good - to people and tribe, to life and the land, to tolerance and peace - though I also like the fact that most pagans hold their beliefs 'lightly' and experimentally.
