GENDS You're listening to Druidcast

Episode 193

You're listening to Druidcast, episode 193. I am your host Dave the Bard and Druidcast is

brought to you on or around the 20th of the month by the order of Bards, Ovates and Druids. If you want to find

out more about the order and our courses you can do that on our website which is at druidry.org.

Druidcast will be a little different this month.

It's a Dave the Bard solo show.

I've been producing Druid cast since June 2007

and I have never done this before.

But life circumstances meant I wasn't able to record a guest interview this month.

So, my friends, you have me, my music, some poetry, some prose for the next hour.

But I've put together a show I think you're going to enjoy.

So grab that cuppa, sit back and come with me on a journey through modern druidry, the wheel of the

year and the awen.

Modern druidry is a nature-based spiritual path that draws its inspiration from many sources.

Archaeology, the words written by classical writers such as Pliny and Caesar, mythology,

the explorations of the Renaissance druids and poets of the 1700s, such as William Blake,

William Stucley and Yola Morganog, the ancient sites left by ancestors, folklore, the work

of magical Victorian groups like the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and of course the

cycles of nature. It's a modern tradition

that takes its inspiration from ancient sources and it is firmly rooted in the present moment.
