That's a complex one to answer. I'll quote from people much wiser than me.
Druidism means following a spiritual path rooted in the green Earth. It means participating in a living Western spiritual tradition drawn from many sources, including surviving legacies from Celtic wisdom teachings, but embracing the contributions of many peoples and times. It means learning from archaic traditions, from three centuries of modern Druid scholarship, and from the always changing lessons of the living Earth itself. It means embracing an experiential approach to religious questions, one that abandons rigid belief systems in favor of inner development and individual contact with the realms of nature and spirit. -- John Michael Greer, Druidry ? A Green Way of Wisdom
It?s an attitude, an understanding, an exquisitely simple and natural philosophy of living. For a great many it is a rich and ancient religion, a mystical spirituality. For others it?s simply a guiding way of life. It is absolutely open and free for anyone to discover. -- Emma Restall Orr, Druid Priestess
What is Druidry? A Spiritual Path, a way of life, a philosophy, Druidry is all of these?Druidry today is alive and well, and has migrated around the world forming a wonderful web of people who hon our and respect the Earth and the sacred right to life of all that is part of the Earth. Like a great tree drawing nourishment through its roots, Druidry draws wisdom from its ancestral heritage. There is a saying in Druidry that ?The great tree thrives on the leaves that it casts to the ground?. Druidry today does not pretend to present a replica of the past, rather it is producing a new season?s growth. -- Cairistiona Worthington, The Beginner?s Guide to Druidry
