Mel,

Sorry to take so long answering you about an interest in Druidry. I somehow missed that message. I am interested as a historian and a person who is interested in all forms of religious expression. I constantly want to learn more of other people's faiths so that I can be a better friend with them and know better what I really believe.
I have always believed that the Divine Being or Beings want faith. Humans had to go and muck up faith and turn it into religion. Not the same thing at all.

Anyway, have a good day. And, by the way, how did your elevation go?

Mel,

That was supposed to read, "other people's faiths..."

Hi Tom,

I wouldn't say contempory Druidry is a religion. There are both pagan and christian druids. I am drawn to the Norse gods above the Celtic deities because that was where I was first drawn. However I now mix the two, although it's complicated because some Celtic gods are Irish and some
are Welsh. Then some are local rather than universal.

I was made an Ovate yesterday, it'll be a year or so before I begin the last level to Druid.

Thanks for the explanation and congratulations on becoming an Ovate.
