Hallmarks of Our Druidism

1)  We celebrate the Gods and Goddesses of the Celtic people.. This is accomplished through our rituals and sensing their inspiration in our lives.

2)  We revere the Spirits of Nature. This is also achieved through ritual and awareness of their messages received as we move through our daily routines.

3)  We Honor our Ancestors. As with our Gods, Goddesses, and Nature Spirits, our Ancestors provide us with guidance and encouragement.

4)  We respect all life and do no harm without deliberation or regard. It is wrong to kill or maim without reason, regard, and necessity. We place the responsibility of choice firmly in the hands of the individual.

5)  The virtue of an action is judged by the action itself, the intention behind the action and its outcome. An individual determines their own ethics based on self-respect and consideration of others.

6)  Justice is sought through restorative measures. Justice is best served not by reward or punishment, freedom or confinement, but in the efforts towards restoring the health of broken relationships.

7)  We gain knowledge and develop wisdom by learning what we can and teaching what we are able. Our purpose in life is to grow and evolve in wisdom.

8)  We encourage people to follow their own paths. We do not have the one, right, only true way. We provide a framework for self-exploration and choice.

9)  We endorse the growth and evolution of Beyond the Ninth Wave and the membership. We are prepared to accept new, proven scholarship even if it alters core practices. We recognize the importance of an individual’s evolution and provide guidance when requested.

These are hallmarks we learned as members of the Henge of Keltria and have chose to adopt them for our  Druidism.
