Summary

Druidry is primarily a reconstructed ethnic,religion derived from what is known about the,beliefs of the ancient Celts. Those who follow it,may be drawing on anthropology, folklore,archaeology, history and even academic research;,others may hear the 'druidic Call' to celebrate,Earth and Sky but may not know where to learn,more. These are the seekers whom the Solitary,Druid is dedicated to. An essential first step,in Paganism and a necessary one for those new to,the Druid's path, focusing on the core teachings,of modern Druidry.
