The Druid Order is not a religion, it is not Wiccan. It is universalist, so it includes information from many religions, philosophies and sciences that may be of benefit to the person or mankind. Many religions are based on moralistic rules or laws taken from poor translations of past literature. We do not worship gods or goddesses externally in a religious way. We see them as symbols of the forces of the Universe and learn to use the pattern of these forces in a scientific way.

Ancient cultures built monuments to symbolise the forces of nature and the cosmos. Later on in history we began to erect monuments to honour war heroes, war and famous people.

We practise the art of living but we have different ways of describing what that means. We have the ability to change our thoughts and feelings about things so that we can change our relationship with our environ-

ment, including our own mind and body.

Our thoughts and feelings are the possessions of who we think we are. We are not our possessions. (More)

Summer Solstice (June 20/21)

Longest day and shortest night, symbolic rising of the golden dawn, not a group or a myth, not a hope or a dream, but the real flooding and receiving of the light of conscious awareness within. Time of greater growth and the drawing down of the light. At high noon symbolically the time of no shadow, where nothing is hidden and everything is out in the open. The axis of Stonehenge is aligned to the Summer Solstice sunrise in the north-east, where the sun can be observed to rise over the outlying Hele Stone, giving the most northerly rising of the sun. Father’s Day, honouring fathers and fatherhood. St John’s Day. Cancer, cardinal water.
