The Order of Céile Dé

The Order of Céile Dé ...or Culdee - (The servants, or Spouses of God)... carries the oldest continuous spiritual tradition of the Gaelic countries. The path of the Céile Dé is and always has been toward a search for the Ultimate Reality - Union with the Divine. Rooted in Druidism, it has a deep reverence for our Mother Earth and all Her children... Branching into Christ-consciousness, it fulfils itself in Unconditional love.
The spiritual life of the Céile Dé is esoteric in nature and largely contemplative in practice. It nurtures a deep and devotional relationship with that Great Mystery we call God (no gender is implied in this word) - the Invisible Beloved Whose Face is Everywhere...

It holds Christ-consciousness as the highest human aspiration.

It also involves a development of the imaginal faculties through creative work with the seasonal wheel, Celtic mythology and the Gods and Goddesses of the Gaelic pantheon.

It encourages an integration of all of the above with everyday life. Through this work, we kindle within ourselves a sincere and passionate desire to awaken from the unconsciousness and powerlessness that causes - at best - our gnawing discontent - at worst - the gradual destruction of our souls and this precious world.

At present we only have gatherings, where frequent and regular teachings are given, in Scotland. But we would give serious thought to beginning groups south of the border if there was sufficient and committed interest. To that end, we invite any one who is interested in beginning a wholehearted spiritual journey within a genuine Gaelic tradition to contact the Order via our website - www.ceilede.co.uk
