I think it is impossible to be a Celtic Reconstructionist to perfection – because much of the Celtic Tradition was destroyed by others or lost in time.

I think about the language of the earth. I think about how my ancestors who were all Celts must have worshiped the land and their sacrifices and their lives and loves. I wonder if any of my ancestors were Druids or Bards and there is a calling in me to practice what I feel is a spirituality that can be applied in my own life in my own way. I don’t think that it matters where a religion or a spirituality comes from or where you come from. If you are willing to embrace something it means you are willing to learn from it. If you are willing to learn from it, then it either makes you a better person or a worse person depending on your own values and goals.

Religion and evolution historically have made uncomfortable bed fellows. One seemingly rooted to the past whilst the other superficially more concerned with the future. Relationship would appear to represent the bridge between the two yet relationship would also appear to be as individual as our current perception of our self. The medium of the land, in my experience, has played a key role in how that relationship is formed and experienced. And the differing physical makeups of different areas of the world are always going to result in a “non-standard” experience that may appear to contradict the original purpose.
It has been my experience that we all, consciously or otherwise, leave a little “something” in any landscape we interact with, be that urban, rural or wild. And much like the makeup of sedimentary rock structures, the non-physical landscape evolves with each and every addition we leave. So the land would appear to be rooted in it’s history, which forms the physical aspect whilst the non-physical elements continually evolves as more “material” is added, consciously or otherwise. The physical representing the history and non-physical representing it’s continuing evolution. For me, this suggests more of a symbiotic relationship as opposed to a contradictory one.
It is our understanding of such things that would appear to be a odds with the reality of these processes.

If you live in the UK it is a Celtic culture, which extends as far as Spain, Ireland and Turkey. The roots of Druidism is authentic if it was ever practiced in a location that modern Druidism is founded in. The land and the Druid is stronger in those places it was practiced in.
