The Two Tenets of Reformed Druidism

In the Reformed Druids of North America (RDNA), there are only Two Basic Tenets of Belief:

1. The object of the search for spiritual truth, which is a universal and a never-ending search, may be found through the Earth-Mother, which is Nature, but this is one way among many. 2. And great is the importance, which is of a spiritual importance, of Nature, which is the Earth-Mother, for it is one of the objects of creation, and with it we do live, even as we struggle through life do we come face-to-face with it. 

The Tenets in Plain English: 

Spirituality can be found in Nature

Nature is important to my spirituality

Context:

The Reformed Druids of North America has a very flexible or “open source” approach to spirituality. Wicca has the Wiccan Rede of nearly four-dozen verses (that many eclectic Wiccans might eschew at least part of), Asatru has the Nine Noble Virtues (not necessarily a list of beliefs but a code of conduct to strive for), and Christianity has well over 700 (often contradictory) dogmatic rules.

Reformed Druidry is inclusive by nature, and anyone can be a Reformed Druid if they believe in the Two Basic Tenets. Organizationally, philosophically, and ritualistically, there’s a lot more Reformed Druidry has to offer for those who seek it out, but many find satisfaction with just the Two Basic Tenets.

My illustration to the topic "The feeling of flight"

"I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I have trained myself to love it...

... as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to. But the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where you're going, but you know that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you".

Hope in a Robin’s Egg

“Hope”is the thing with feathers, That perches in the soul, And sings the tunewithout the words, and never stops – at all. —Emily DickinsonOne day as Aiden arrived at his house, he was surprised to find that there was a bird’s nest that had been built and wedged between the outside light and the side of the house by the back door. It had been there more than a week. That was why the sound of the…

Three lady slippers in the top third of photo One morning when Aiden was coming back from a walk with his dog, he saw a lady slipper. Most of us know it is an endangered wildflower and not to pick or transplant it. After taking care of his dog, he went back into the woods to take a picture of it. He found it and thought it was the only one which had normally been the case for him. He began to…

Believe That I Believe

Photo by cottonbro studio on Pexels.com “Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.”— Mahatma Gandhi Aiden…

Even though i don’t believe much in the so called “Law of Attraction”, I do believe in the power of the mind. Our reality is only shaped by the perspective we construct from what’s within ourselves: our believes, and we see what we believe.

Hope. When I talk about hope I want you to imagine yourself in the belly of a whale, I want you to imagine being thrown into a fire or standing before the vast sea and behind you is your enemy who won’t pity taking away your life, I want you to imagine siblings that throw you away into a well, or a sickness that pushed everyone you loved away, I want you to imagine grieving over losing someone you never really lost or imagine yourself running from one mountain to another in desperate need of water, I want you to imagine being abused by the tyrant of tyranny and being tied a rock and beaten until you denounce their faith. Where is hope? It is found with Him. It is found in most hopeless of moments I’d say. None of them knew He was going to help but their faith made them hope and never did they waver. There was possibility even within the impossibe situation. Hope is never lost even though it may perhaps seem. There is an rescue no matter what. And the only light until then is hope. So hope.

I wish I knew what to do to make you believe in me. Hear me. Respect me. Honor me. Protect me from my enemy. Exiled. Marked as a pagan.

Hope is like a star, you don't see it shine bright until the dark come.
