Hail and
welcome!
Welcome to the new TDN web site…
“The Druid Network aims, through connecting individuals and groups together, through coordinating efforts and initiative, and through actively interfacing with public bodies and the media, to Inform, Inspire and Facilitate Druidry as a Religion.” Our Mission

Druidry is a deliciously celebratory practice. No matter how or even if you seek a spiritual connection, it extends the senses into a wakeful awareness of our place within the interconnected world, and worlds. It can be spiritual or fraternal, solitary or community orientated, and at TDN we choose to express it as a religion. The word Druid has held all these truths over millennia, and we invite you to explore for yourself in the many varied paths of the Druid.

TDN Members’ Area
“my favourite use of the word Druid is as a verb. Druidry is doing, relating, serving… whether it be your grove community, your local environment or simply the people and other energies you encounter along the journey. You become Druid by doing druid.”

The Network is not a Druid Order: it makes no attempt at defining or teaching one interpretation of Druidry, ancient or modern. Instead it aims to offer a rich blend of information and inspiration to all, expressing a philosophy that is a celebration of life; a reaching to understand the power of nature with respect and sensitivity. Druidry is not only a philosophy though; for an increasing number of people it is a deeply held religious practice, honouring the sanctity of nature and providing an ethical framework based on the understanding of sustainable, honourable relationship. The Network therefore also aims to provide conscious support of individuality, community, local diversity and environmental sustainability, promoting awareness of the divine within nature, helping to create a world beyond unnecessary consumerism and political paranoia. Put more simply the aim of TDN is to inform, inspire and facilitate the practice of Druidry as a modern living religion.
