Greetings,
I have just turned 48 and I live in Germany. I have joined OBOD last year and I am now starting the Ovate Grade Course.
Having read about Native Americans, I feel a similar spirit in Druidry with one difference: The Celtic culture is the root of my own culture which makes me feel at home for the second time.
Up to now I was only active in the German forum and visited Camps in Germany, but now I would like to take a look around here and share some thoughts with you.
Looking forward to share ideas and find wisdom.
Greetings from the healing waters

I have just turned 48 and I live in Germany, at the foot of a hill with a stone-age flint-stone quarry on top of it. In the valley, where my home-town is situated, hot springs are flowing, which is why humans settled here at all.
The celtic water God Granus was worshipped here, so I chose the name of his female companion Sirona as my order-name and forum-name. Archeology has not found any evidence that she was worshipped here, too, but it might have been the case.

Hi, I've already made one post on the poetry and writing forum, but I thought I would come and say hello here is well.

I'm 27 years old and live in Connecticut. I have four younger siblings and I am very close with my family. I'm new to druidry but I'm excited to have discovered this path. I work as an elementary school teacher and I've found that constantly renewing my faith is an important part of sustaining myself and my work. I hope that druidry can help me to deepen that faith.

Peace,
Bobby

Hello fellow Mike!

West Cornwall is in the northwestern corner of the state near the NY and MA borders. With CT being such a small state New London, being down on the shore, is still only about a 1 1/2 hour drive from me.

Thank you for the warm welcome. I look forward to being a part of things here.

Hello All!

My name is Lucille, and I am a stay at home mommy of a beautiful 10 month old baby girl named Rebekah and am married to a wonderful man named Jonathan. I live in northern New York, Although Im originially from Tennessee.Im 19, and have been on a pagan path since I was 13. I consider myself to be an eclectic pagan, but I have been interested in Druidry for quite some time now. Ive been lurking on this website for well over a month and have been drawn to it. I havent enrolled in druidry course yet because I am busy moving into a new apartment, and dont really have the money for it now. (I will do it sooner or later!) I hope to make some friends on this board and do alot of researching before I commit myself to anything. I hope to get to know you all on the forums ^_^

Hi all, and hi again to many

Postby Kevin » 01 Oct 2009, 00:24

Hi everyone, I've had a pretty hectic couple of years so it's been a while since I've been around here. I used to be known as Hengist on this board but I couldn't log into that account when I tried so to save myself and the admin a lot of hassle I just opened a new account for a fresh start under my own name. I've been meaning to come back for a while now but kept getting distracted by an album I've been working on, along with a lot of time spent on metaphysical exploration. I used to enter the Eisteddfods from time to time and my wife (yep there was someone crazy enough out there) talked me into entering this one, so I figured this would be as good a time as any to return to the board. I hope everyone here has kept well and look forward to getting to know some of the folk who've arrived since I sort of wandered off.

With Peace and Blessings,

Kevin

Welcome back, Kevin. I was just wondering how you were doing when the Eisteddfod opened, wondering if we would see you again.

Congratulations on your marriage and I am happy you are entering the Eisteddfod again and seem to be doing so well.
