Earthshine Ritual

Druidry is about making, or remaking, that connection humans need with our planet. That connection with the spirit of all things. When we make this reconnection, we relearn how we should be living. Our life will change as we re-evaluate all that we have come to take for granted.

We can do it anywhere: in our home, in our office; in our schools. For spirit is everywhere around us if we chose to acknowledge it. It is this acknowledgement that changes how we see all things.

We soon learn that we are not alone.

Ritual is part of making that reconnection. We do not make ritual for rituals sake, but to help us meet spirit to spirit with other beings with whom we share this planet. Ritual is about taking time out and saying, "I am here. Let's talk."

We can do this alone, but it helps to meet with like minded people who are also seeking reconnection.

Preparation for ritual is almost as important as the ritual itself, the more we prepare ourselves the more we have to give. And the more we give, the more we receive as a group when we come together.

You will find that in celebrating the rituals, the seasons begin to flow through you and you begin to Know when they change. The change of the seasons is not about any particular date, it is something that nature knows instinctively and something which we soon pick up in ourselves.
