About the Author

I discovered Paganism in my late teens and Druidry in my early twenties. I’ve since been a Pagan Federation volunteer, completed the the OBOD grades – www.druidry.org and helped out for a while at The Druid Network www.druidnetwork.org  as well. These days I’m a member, just contributing the odd essay and review.

I was a founding member of west midlands Druid Gorsedd, Bards of the Lost Forest. During my decade in the west midlands I also ran meditation sessions, workshops, a closed ritual group and a folk club.

I’m now back in my native Gloucestershire, living on a narrowboat with my lovely and very Druidy husband, artist Tom Brown and a fabulous tigerboy. Currently in the process of setting up a group, taking the opportunity to live quietly and explore the path in wilder, less structured ways. Living as a Druid family means collectively exploring sustainability and experimenting with creative ways of living.

I write the webcomic www.hopelessmaine.com – illustrated by Tom. You can find me on twitter as Brynneth_Nimue and on facebook as Nimue Brown. I’m always happy to friend a pagan! I also edits for www.loveyoudivine.com When not working at the keyboard, I play bouzouki and violin, am an avid reader, and a great deal of walking. I’m vegetarian and an enthusiastic, experimental cook. I also likes to dabble with arts and crafts, drink far too much coffee and support local and community events whenever I can.

If you would like to borrow a blog post to republish elsewhere, by all means do – just leave a comment and llet me know. If you would like an article written specifically for your blog/magazine etc then email brynnethnimue at gmail dot com. If time permits, then I will normally say yes to such requests.

    Thanks for the thought, much appreciated, but I have so little internet access that this would be a bit beyond me!

    Nice site. Usually new-age, pagan sites make me squirm.
    Although I’m a fairly scientific, atheistic thinker these days, I am drawn to druidry … warily! If something smacks of religious ritual I’m extra wary but daily walking and meditating in nature without fixed ideas or practices always seems to open a few doors. I’m especially impressed by one oak tree in a park not far from where I live here in Toronto, a tree that has turned me into a tree-hugger on many fronts, not least of which is a kind of druidic reverence for the oak, which also happens to be the symbol for the county of my birthplace, Derry (N.Ireland), “doire” = oak grove.

      I don’t see any difficulty in mixing rational and irrational, holding duel consciousness of the world that allows for thinking and feeling, intuiting and reasoning – I think its human to do both, so hopefully that makes me palatable to people who come at things from either side, or both. My primary position in all things is uncertainty, and I take lessons from my child in asking ‘but wy?’ at every available opportunity :-) Hugging trees is good.

    I think I have read all the blogs I have missed over the last month. I love your insightful blogs and your consistent daily posts.

  • Symbian

    Your Blogs are Inspirational, Insightful, Full of Mystery and Intregiue (Cant Spell worth a Darn …lol) and I hope someday to learn enought about The Druidic Path to Honour and Cellebrate the Creator in a way that is as strong a balance between Harmonyand Chaos with Awen as you have done ! Brightest Blessings to both you and Tom ! <3
