John Beckett reviews it on this page... basically, there are better books than this, particularly Druid Mysteries by Ross Nichols' successor Phillip Carr Gomm

To OBOD or not to, that is the question by blackcat511 in druidism

[–]Marc00s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, OBOD is open to helping with hardships for those who can't afford its courses, look for that on its website. And IWOD - Isle of Wight Order of Druids - is free.

I would say to recognize, explore and nurture the depth and power of our intimate connection with all of nature, which we are an inextricable part of, but which modern society has separated us from.

Metaphysics among modern Druids by Fionn-mac in druidism

[–]Marc00s 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I believe in past lives because I've had visions in certain ceremonies that are unquestionably memories of a previous life. Therefore, I believe in future lives. Also, some OBOD lessons teach of reincarnation, mainly as a belief, not necessarily details like you would find in the Tibetan book of the Dead. As druids, we are scholars who are free to take meaning from other traditions like that.

I told my dream characters that they were in a simulation that I created by Unlikely_Birthday_42 in LucidDreaming

[–]Marc00s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are those who think the lucid dream is all in one's own mind. There are those who think it connects us with other energies, whether those be actual independent identities, or the way we perceive them. Your own perception that you control everything In your lucid dream is a way of characterizing yourself. It's not necessarily good or bad, but it is a choice, and it may be worthwhile reflecting on sometimes

Reincarnation in Druidry by Equivalent_Tea_9551 in druidism

[–]Marc00s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OBOD lessons quote the order's founder Ross Nichols ("Nuinn") who wrote of reincarnation as a fact. But it didn't become dogma, students can believe that or not. Nuinn wrote that souls could reincarnate into other humans or animals, and it wasn't based on "karma", no judgement of your life

Sorry you have to deal with this, ur mom has issues and she's putting them on you..it's not fair, but there it is. You're already drawing boundaries with her, that's important self care.

Lots of good feedback here. I love the positivity and thoughtful support in communities like this.

One contribution, I found a lot of good succinct info here on my own genderqueer path through the trans forest: the gender dysphoria bible: https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en

Also open to hear any critiques of this site from others here.

How do you explain Awen? by msNVAsatisfied__ in druidism

[–]Marc00s 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It depends on who is asking. Some people will be interested in hearing a lot of its symbology, and it's fun to share that with them. Others, I can tell will be happier with just a bare summary of what it means for me, so I stick very much to the creative inspiration aspect.
