“Will you ever begin to understand the meaning of the very soil beneath your feet? We (Native Americans) are the guardians of this sacred place." Blue Cloud, Mohawk
Just as Native Americans are the guardians of their sacred place,
so we are the guardians of ours.
so we are the guardians of ours.
Druids were believed to be the priests of our native spiritual tradition ‘the old religion’ of the peoples who inhabited the islands of Britain and Ireland, spreading through much of Europe. It is increasingly understood, and within the Druid community acknowledged, to be of an older indigenous if ever-evolving religious tradition sourced within these islands.The Iron Age tribes who inhabited these islands in what is called the 'Celtic' period believed deeply in animism (all things have their own spirit) – their spiritual leaders may have been the Druids but they also had their shamans, their wise women/cunning men, all of the tribe members would have followed the spiritual tradition. They knew the cycles of the seasons and the movement of the stars, they knew the natural magic of the land and the energies that flow through our universe. We cannot recreate their time but we can seek to regain some of the knowledge that we have ‘mislaid’ and apply it to the 21st Century.

Celtic Earth Spirit seeks to provide a resource for all who wish to live an Earth Spirituality; and we do 'live' an Earth Spirituality - just saying that we are a Druid does not make us one - this is a way of life - this permeates into everything we do - and it is what we do that affects the Earth - we must 'walk our talk'
