An Un-Reformed / Non-Reconstructionist Druid's View of Druidry.
Someone ask what was the difference in the different Druid / Neo-Druid paths out there today.
So I tried to answer a little of what we are and this first part is that answer, the second part is from anotther posting and I hope explanes our view a little more
I can only speak about CW “Craeftgemot Witancoveyne (A Druid Church and School in America) “ We were (still are even in his crossing over) friends with Isaac Bonewits (ADF founder) while pursing USA-IRS acceptance of CW as a USA government accepted Druid Religion. At the time the IRS understood the concept of a Church better than a grove etc, and Freedom of non Abramic religions was shall we say less accepted. We saw CW,s role in a different light then perhaps what others see Druidry today ( I must add that as not being a member of OBOD, ADF, RDNA, OWS RDG etc I may be wrong on this, but these groups did not exist I believe at our rebirth).{have learned I was wrong on this but do not know if IRS had or has recognized them as Religious Orders tdk 2013}
We saw a need for a more Celtic follows, Service Centric Societal / Tribal Structure . Where Druids were trained to Server both Man (The new Celts) and Nature and not just themselves as its central goal. And So we are are Un-Reformed Druids as we see it.
And at night with the sweet Goddess of all Nature along the hidden Leys we would play..
Oh Sisters Oh Brothers of all the Tribes, Clans or Crowns do you still, like I, regret the path we took on that far off awful day?
And this brings me to the question of what is difference between a (Natural Witch - Druid reincarnated) and a Reformed or Reconstructionist Druid? Leaving the different dogmas of the many different groups aside. For me there is a more basic Pagus Heartbeat that makes the difference.
The Reformed Druids seem to wish to leave and reject all of the written histories Druid related Press, that chills the timid or silly hearts of today away.
We all know history is written by the Victor and as we withdrew from the field of Earth's combat. We know the Romans had no reason to speak kindly or truly of us as they extinguished the burning embers of the Old ways in the Celts.

A Natural Witch - Druid
Reincarnated fishes in the Leys of Time.
Walking along the Ley as the ancient stars above guide my way.
I am reminded of Yesterday
was it 100,000 year or a million years away when Druids ruled the
Day?Walking along the Ley as the ancient stars above guide my way.
And at night with the sweet Goddess of all Nature along the hidden Leys we would play..
Oh Sisters Oh Brothers of all the Tribes, Clans or Crowns do you still, like I, regret the path we took on that far off awful day?

We all know history is written by the Victor and as we withdrew from the field of Earth's combat. We know the Romans had no reason to speak kindly or truly of us as they extinguished the burning embers of the Old ways in the Celts.
So what is the position
of a (Natural Witch - Druid reincarnated) on our so called Dark Past.
Very simple we served Nature and the Celtic Nations with Honor and
Wisdom both in matters of divine faith and Societal Law.
We accept the wisdom of our elder self's that during their time and place in the old world the actions of the Druids as whole were correct and as it needed to be.
It is this Simple; what was was and was as it needed to be. We neither accept or reject any historical records of how the Druids administrated Faith or Law for the Celtic Nations. Today as in the past a (Natural Witch - Druid reincarnated) adjust the Faith and the Laws to best meet the needs and levels of understanding of Celts and the Nations that they serve within.
And now the Re constructionist Druids. One does not Reconstruct what was not Deconstructed. The ways of the Druids of old were removed yes and buried in the Ley ways of Time. It is not so much that a (Natural Witch - Druid reincarnated) needs to reconstruct the Druid ways of the past like a watch setting torn apart, but to retrieve the Druids' seeds like ancient acorns and plant them in rich and tended soil so the OAKs of old may grown again. This does not mean that the historic records of old and discoveries to archeology of today do not offer Golden Threads that can lead to our sacred and lost seeds of the past. But that once the Golden thread is found let your own Druid past life teach you how to replant, nourish and grow these hidden acorns into mighty Oaks that can survive and protect Man and Nature today.
