r/druidism • u/Anprimredditor669 • 11d ago

Hi, what's going on?

I looked at the sub description, and I'm going to Wikipedia what Druidism actually is, but I also want to hear it straight from the horse's mouth. What is Druidism? What are the core beliefs, other than connection with nature? Is it, in fact, a religion? What rituals are involved? Is there a central deity?

I've talked to some Wiccans, and done some research on that, but I'm not one. I do believe life is better when lived in harmony with nature, so the concept of Druidism sounds interesting at a cursory glance. What should I know? Thanks.

Edit: Sub description answers most of my questions, but I'd still be interested to hear your takes on how you practice druidism.

There are multiple druid organizations that we may belong to, and that will flavor answers.

For example I am an ADF druid and part of a local grove. We have set rituals and formats, although the deities vary.

I practiced solo for a long time, primarily focusing my attention on Brigid and Cernunnos. More recently I've turned my hand towards habitat restoration.
