I always believed religion was incompatible with a society rooted in addressing material reality, although I know we have have religious users and wanted to hear people's takes.

Seems a lot better than the one intro book I read that had a lot of liberal ideology infused into it. Something like taking a fully passive approach to a worldview and not doing harm to others. To be fair, I think it was the one written by the founder of AODA.

I never had much interest in those guys, way to organized and uptight.

Just looking at their website repels me immediately. They seem to have a structure that is like a variant of christianity and I just want nothing to do with them. Right now I'm taking courses from OBOD. Not too far into the bardic grade, but I am working on it. They don't seem like that thus far. Seem more or less like "Here's what we do, do what you want" sort of ordeal from what I've seen so far.

thats really cool. I've thought about taking some of their courses. No real interest in joining but I am sure I have a lot to learn.

Don’t we all? I’m not certain the learning ever ceases.

Out of curiosity, what book is it that you read? I’m trying to absorb as much Druidry as possible as that’s the path I believe is right for me. There’s never a such thing as too much info either imo.

I can't remember what book it was. I just thought the quote was perfect enough I saved it but since I'm not ejimakated I forgot to save the source. I do really like my Druid animal oracle It has a lot of good stuff in the book and I never really learned taro but I like the way this deck works.

I'm always down to talk druid and pagan stuff, I'm on discord (ithorianpriest) if you ever want to hit me up.

Aww hell yeah. I’ll add you and send a message your way once I get better.
