Howdy Folks :tiphat:

My name is Josh; although, I consider my spiritual name to be Illustriador. Feel free to call me either, as they both represent who I am.

Now to that... I live in Missouri, in the US. I'm approaching 31 years of age and am married with 2 kiddos. My wife Crystal, and I have been committed to one another now for almost 7 years. My kids, Jadian Blu and Shia Aiden, are 6 and 4 respectively. As a family we feel a very strong connection with all things natural and all the juicy goodness that comes with them :D In fact, I am in college just now beginning my third year of studies in biology with an emphasis on environmental science.

Both my wife and I were raised as Christians, but both of us have also always felt as though our paths would eventually take us in another direction. I firmly believe that this may be within your organization. I have read a considerable amount from many of your teachers and moderators, as has my wife. We feel that you speak honorably and from your heart, which is a rare thing these days. As of yet we have not signed up for the course, but it is on a short list of goals. You see we have a busy schedule for the next few months, moving to Oregon and changing jobs and schools. So we plan to petition to enroll after things calm down a bit if that's ok?

Till then I would like to get to know maybe some of you. I know that until we enroll we may be somewhat limited as to our access, and I fully understand that of course. I just can't wait to dive in :grin: So our best to everyone, and we look forward to what the future may hold.

Kindly,
Josh

Hello there!

My name is Boann, aged 35 and wife of Dagda and mother of 3 lovely little monsters aged 5, 3 and 8 months. At the moment we are staying in the Netherlands for work, but next year we will be moving back home permanently to Ireland.

I have been involved with Gardnerian Wicca for almost 20 years, and also an active member of the Pagan Federation International. Currently I am one of the pub moot organisers in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Since Dagda is Irish and a life long student of Celtic Civilisation (including a degree in the subject), our path has led us to become more actively involved in the Celtic Reconstructionism area. That is the main reason for also joining OBOD and seeing how our brother and sister Druids are walking their path!

Slainte,
Boann.

Good morning :hiya: ! My name's Svenja, I am approaching 30 this year and I am a native German. I have migrated to the UK some years ago, and now live in the North East region of this beautiful island. I have been following the Old Ways for the best of 15 years now. I have dug my nose into many traditions but have not yet found a way that satisfies me completely. However, I have always felt that the tradition of druidism is the closest to me - so now I hope I have found my home in this tradition. Prove me wrong :wink:
I hope to find interesting and deep conversations here as well as hillarious silliness and chitty-chat :)

See you later!

Bin ich, und soweit ich weiss, Alchemilla auch. Hast du dich im deutschen Forum angemeldet? Das ist auch fuer uns Exilanten offen...

Es ist schon erstaunlich, dass es uns alle so weit in den Norden verschlagen hat :huh:

Hello!

I'm Etain (well, not legally, but I may well change that!), I'm 25 and Mother to 2 lovely little girls and married to the love of my life for 4 years. I've recently (very recently!) joined OBOD after being a very generic pagan since I was 15. Druidry attracted me as soon as I found out a bit about it, I am only just getting enough time to myself to do anything about it though! I'm a full-time Mama and am training to become a lactation consultant with La Leche League. I'm an obsessive reader, knitter, sewer...anything that can be quickly put down that can satisfy me creatively!
