Druid Camp 2018
So here I am, home again from Druid Camp. A simple name for a complex community gathering, and one I’ve been going to for around twenty years now. This year, for the first time, because of (well) stuff, I’ve been directly involved in it all as part of the core team, alongside Mark Graham. But…

Druid Camp: 5 weeks to go!
I felt the need to express my gratitude, delight and overwhelming love for all the folk who’ve stepped up to the challenge of Druid Camp this year. I’m just doing some additions to the profiles pages here http://www.druidcamp.org.uk/category/2018blog/ and it’s a delight to see old and new friends preparing for a fabulous camp. Druid Camp – heh,…

Archival Druidry
I’m just back from another totally wonderful, inspiring, mind altering, loving and living Druid Camp and unwilling to dive into the reality of early morning motorways and airplane flights. I can’t tell you just how important the annual Druid Camp is and the embracing community within it, I can only invite you to look out…

Peace One Day for Druids
Tomorrow is Peace One Day day. If you’ve not come across it, POD was established at the end of the last century by an actor and film-maker, Jeremy Gilley, who called for a day of peace, of ceasefire and non-violence. Just one, not much to ask, eh? In 2001 it was adopted by the UN…

There was laughter, there was tears, there were no-shows and impromptu stand-ins… and all through it I stayed mostly upright. Ok, breathe… there. This was our second Conference, after the first one in 2010 that went well despite all the…

Thought for the Week – Imbolc
Thought for the Week – Imbolc You must be noticing it by now, the lengthening of daylight as the Sun, reborn at Solstice, begins to fulfil his promise and calls upon the living world to wake once more from its winter sleep. We stand midpoint between the Yule and the Spring Equinox – the middle…

Druid Camp 2011ce
Just on the eastern edge of the Forest of Dean, where the River Severn snakes back and forth around the Arlingham loop, there is an annual summer-long sequence of festivals faciltated by Rainbow 2000. One of these, The Druid Camp, has just finished. For nearly a week, more then a hundred folk of all ages…

Thought for the Week – Beltane
Celebrating Beltane A little time back, thousands of folk in the UK including me roared out in opposition to the mass sell-off of public woodland and forestry. The government heard and for once acted on public pressure, and currently the Forestry Commission’s role as holder of our forest estate continues. There is another roar of…
