Saying it out loud
Over time, for various reasons, the message boards at a druid site I help administer have become disparate and chaotic… we now have three… three is normally a good number in Druidry, but not always. How we came to this pretty state is not unimportant, and relates to relationship… something itself of importance to Druidry.…

Ridgeway
