A-ha. I knew there was a place to say hello.

Hello. I am 34 years old (I think--it changes every year), and I live in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (Canada) which is usually sunny, though today it is snowing (whatever that is about!).

I just got my first packet for the Bardic Grade today, but the Goddess and I have been hanging out for about 15 years. It seems more like a thousand years, but unfortunately I don't have the documentation to prove that. So, anyway, the packet is huge, and here seems to be a good place to start.

Hello Everyone!

I am more of a lurker but I decided to come out of the corner and introduce myself!

I am 28 years old, married, no kids-just a few pets and living in Ireland. Not doing much at the moment, but considering a return to college in September to further my studies. I just enrolled in the bard course and I cannot wait to get the material and get going with this. I practiced Wicca for a while and am still pretty much a beginner on the pagan path but I am enjoying the spirituality and being close to natutre.

However, I keep finding myself drawn to the Druidic tradition. So after procrastinating for ages, I decided to finally go for it and here I am.

Hey there!

I am 15 (almost 16) and live in England, though Wales feels like my real home. I've been interested in Druidry for a while (and hopefully I can join one of the courses soon). I'm glad there's somewhere where everyone can learn about Druidry, rather than just those people lucky enough to know someone willing to teach them!

Thanks very much!

Gorthugher da (good evening),

I'm a 42 year old Cornishman (hence the name Kernewek). My path has taken me all around the world from the age of 18, I am now living and working in County Durham so I guess my path hasn't quite yet come full circle! I have met so many wonderful and diverse people of differing religious and spiritual beliefs. I have always been very open minded but never felt truly comfortable with any "religion" as such. I've always had my own beliefs but found it extremely difficult to explain them to people who didn't know me well. Being born and raised in Cornwall Druidry was well known and many people managed to combine their Christian and Druid beliefs into varied but similar styles, my mother being one. She is an incredibly spiritual woman who is very much in tune with nature and I suppose it was this influence that lead me to Druidry. My travels brought my wife, 2 children, cat, 2 dogs and I back to UK only last year. It wasn't until recently that I had to state my religion on an Equal Opportunities questionaire at work. I had to think because none of the options applied to me, so I wrote "Druidry". Many of my colleagues were either amused or unsure of wether or not I was joking, the only way I could think of trying to explain it to them was by going onto the internet and finding a site that would help. So here I am!

I will be enrolling for the course. I believe it will give substance to my existing beliefs.
I wish you all peace and harmony.

Nos dha.

Greetings all!

I'm a 17 year old male directly from Chicago, Illinois. Located in the States, I'm a far way from the homeland. I'm enrolling in the first course available, come the end of May. I've studied Druidistic, Shamanistic, Wiccan, and minor tools (ie tarot, pendulum, circles, stones, and runes) since the age of 12 or 13. I'm hoping to further studies via my involvement with the OBOD.

[Frenn]

Hello to everybody I havent said hi and welcome to.

And Chicago, eh?

Ive spent a good deal of time out there and in Aurora as well.
Good times

[Corwen]

Hello All,

I was looking for the right place to introduce myself, is this it?

My name is Corwen, and I am the same age as every other part of the Universe. I live in East Dorset most of the time.

I used to be active in OBOD Druidry up to about 10 years ago, and am hoping to get a little more involved again, and perhaps restart the course. I'd be interested in finding out about the Dorset Grove if anyone from that Grove is on here.

Hello to anyone that knows me from the Anderida Gorsedd Camps or Message Board!
