That would be correct. The Council of Elders provides religious and theological guidance. The full description of their duties for the Henge are listed in the Order's bylaws which are available on-line at: https://www.keltria.org/acrobat/Bylaws.pdf

Thank you TonyT for the link, It was very educational for me.

Just out of curiosity as I am sure there are some misconceptions concerning Druidism that many may have. Is there any insight that you could provide towards some of the common misconceptions?

I did not know that there were real life druids I thought it was all something from fanasty books. This may sound dumb but do any of you believe or have the power to talk with animals or plants?

TonyT is was very kind of you to make this effort and I would like to say Thanks and look forward to hearing more.

My questions are as follows,

* When you are asked about religion or your religious beliefs how do you explain?
* Do you have a belief in Christ, devils, how do you take to Buddahism and Muslims?
* Are plant and animal life more or equal to our own lives?
* Are any kind of sacrifices made?

Greetings,

I am quite pleased to see a member of The Henge of Keltria has already added some very good information to this discussion.

Keltria is one of the more prominant Druidic groups here in the US, and there are numerous smaller (local, regional, private) groups as well. A web search will come up with more hits than you can browse without severe eyestrain!

Besides Keltria there are;
(I will naturally leave any explainations of Keltria to Tony T)

The Reformed Druids of North America (known as the RDNA)
https://www.geocities.com/mikerdna/index.html
That webpage is managed by Mike Scharding of the RDNA and is an excellent gateway to any and all information on the RDNA. I am also a member of the RDNA. Theirs can be a quite "eclectic" approach to Modern Druidry, but I do know there are quite a few members who use a more scholastic approach to their worship and studies.

Ar nDraiocht Fein: A Druid Fellowship (known as the ADF)
https://www.adf.org/core/
ADF was originally started by Issac Bonewits, an early member of the RDNA. The ADF (from my understanding, as I'm not a member) takes a poly/pantheistic approach to Modern Druidry and are (in general) focused on a scholastic approach.

The Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids (known as OBOD)
https://druidry.org/
Although OBOD has it origins in the United Kingdom, they do have groups here in the US.

The Ancient Order of Druids in America (known as the AODA)
https://www.aoda.org/
Founded in 1912 as the American branch of the Ancient and Archaeological Order of Druids, AODA is a Druid church of nature spirituality, rooted in the Druid Revival of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and offering an opportunity for modern people to experience the teachings and practices of traditional Druidry in today's world. I am a member of the AODA, currently working on my Second Degree Studies.

In regards to the post about "Ancient Druids", according to early Irish and Welsh texts, yes, there indeed were. Some of those texts can be found at;
https://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/celt/index.htm
There are some of the Modern Druid Groups that use these and other such texts to try and reconstruct what the Ancient Druids did, this is generally referred to as "Celtic Reconstrutionism", or CR for short.

I will say that the most common thread you will find between all the various Groups, Groves, and Solitarys is working towards personal growth, both spiritually and on a scholastic level.

I hope this information is of some help, and I will be more than glad to field any questions to the best of my ability. If I am unsure of the answer, I can always field it to some of my fellow Druids.

In Truth and Sincerity,
Tully

I appreciate all the links, but really if you can answer my specific information above about druids that will be really helpful rather than me having to wade through all those sites.

Gothic Nature and all;

Although I'm pressed for time this morning, I do intend on addressing the questions posted, to the best of my ability. I was only showing an example of some of the various Druid Groups/Organizations that are currently around.

More later...
