About us
Druidry for the 21st Century
While we at OSC honor the traditions and practices of Druidry past - including both the ancient Druids and the revivalist Druids from the 18th century onward - we also consider Druidry to be a living spiritual and philosophical system that can change and adapt with the times.
Druidry is a continually evolving path that uses its connection to the ancient past to provide guidance for the future.
At OSC, we week to embrace Druidry for the 21st century by reinterpreting the core values and practices of Druidry through a modern lens.
Some key areas we are adapting include community building, honoring diversity, fostering innovation, and incorporating modern technology.
Building Community
- Fellowship over Dogma
- Seasonal Rituals
- Degree Program
- Support for full groves, small triad study groups, and solitary members
Honoring Diversity
- Supporting pluralistic diversity that allows for a variety of grove types
- Allowing for both traditional single-gender and modern coed groves
- Allowing for the formation of groves for specific interests and peer groups (such as women’s and LGBTQ+ groves)
- Honoring our differences while sharing our common ground
Fostering Innovation
- Reinterpreting ancient Druidic roles for the world today
- Adapting older rituals and degrees to modern audiences
- Encouraging creativity and inspiration (Awen)
Incorporating Modern Technology
- Providing for the formation of Cyber Groves
- Using online tools to connect and share
- Using modern technology to enhance learning experiences
