The Path of the Celtic Druid today.
Ancient Europe can be seen as having three major cultures: Celt, Greek and then Roman. We are told that the Celts, through their intellectual class of Druids did not write about themselves. However the Romans and the Greeks did write about themselves and about Celtic Druidism, which they both sought to replace. They provide us with two groups of opinions on the Druids of Europe and these opinions differ substantially.
As the Path of the Celtic Druid is being rediscovered there is a stream of expression that is romantic and appeals to the dreamer in us, but this diverts us from the full and true expression of the Cosmic Tradition. Today's Celtic Pagan Druid Path is an individual path that each of us must walk everyday by making our own choices. State authorities are recognising this Celtic Path as a Religion today but for us it is not a Religion as Religion has been understood in the past. Religion is a Latin word meaning “to be tied with ligament” – this means to be have something fixed to you or to be held to a set of laws. There was no ‘sin’ in Eire until the coming of the Christians/Catholics. Celtic Druidism is the ancient spiritual tradition of Ireland, it roots lie in the oldest temples in this island where many Druids still honours the Solar and Lunar cycles. Celtic Druidism is a spiritual path to gaining and holding inner Light and expressing your higher self. This path does not lead anywhere but as a Celtic Druid you have to walk it all the time as you connect to the ancestral ways and the Three Realms. Walking this path is only possible by being balanced and in your centre. To be in your centre is to achieve a ‘balance’ between thinking and intuiting. It is only in your centre that you can discover and express your magical higher self. Being in this balance means being in the godlike awareness we call the 'Witness'. This is where to hold your awareness – i.e. ‘turned on’ and in balance.
Finding the switch is your first real challenge and this is best accomplished by research, evaluation and practice. Enrolling as a member of Celtic Druid Temple is easy - you can begin your Pathwork with us by taking Annual Membership Taking our Homestudy course is a positive step to finding a suitable switch. Celtic Druid Temple’s Courses are designed to help you to turn your switch on. This switching on and staying on is best done by focused magical training on a spiritual path of self-realisation in unity with Nature. The spiritual way is self-transformation - to be reborn into a new you. As Celtic Druids we see it as ‘Lights on and Shiny’ and call the technique – Spiritual Alchemy and our Training Courses do this by taking you into the subtle energy realms of the invisible world for realtime training.
1. Looking for the Celtic Druid path
This is where as a beginner you can begin to build foundation knowledge of the subtle energy of the Three Realms as you awaken your Celtic Spirit. You may have already begun this awakening with other non-druid self-transformation groups but the Celtic Druid Temple Workshops are designed to build psychic muscle for all our students. Other training activities of Celtic Druid Temple are in Ritual Ceremony reactivating sacred sites in line with the passage of the Sun and Moon. You will be involved in simple Celtic Ceremonies during the Workshops and you will know why we develop our psychic and intuitive muscle. You will see the shift to the magic realms in yourself as you gain awareness of the rites of passage into your higher self. This is where you may discover that the whispers of Spirit (that are often called conversation with the holy guardian angel) are actually coming from you. You have the chance to create a framework on which to hang your expanded awareness so that this ‘new’ type of knowledge can begin to make some sort of higher sense. This may be seen as paddling in the surf with your trousers rolled up. Without needing to commit to being a druid, you are all welcome. Choosing to become a student with us by taking our Homestudy Course means you will explore the Path with an open heart.
The Celtic Path gives a Druid the keys to become a Celtic Druid. It may help you recall that that you are already a Celt and a Druid and therefore happy and at One with the Source or God / Goddess. This is the deepest of truth and it is probably the only true role of a Celtic Druid. Modern Celtic Druidism is a path to knowing yourself, to know where you came from, to connect with and activate your incarnational potential, to discover the secrets of the universe, to understand Love, to be happily at One with the Source.
With the inner stillness and peace as a Celtic Druid you can once again connect with God and Goddess as you dissolve any illusions of separation. We all know the truth of Oneness, it is just that we have forgotten it. The Celtic Druid path is a way to remember our purpose, why we must practice meditation and why we must find the Light and dispel the Darkness. As a Celtic Druid you have direct access to Ancestral Gods of Ancient Ireland and to the spiritual realm today, no intermediary is ever needed to pray, meditate or to gain wisdom. Everything, every place and everyone is sacred because all is filled with the spirit of creation. To be a conscious Celt and walk the path as a Celtic Druid today you may find help from using the following –
