How to be a druid

 This document updated on 12/9/2012.

 This is an interesting document and I find it a general guideline on how to be a druid and is from old notes that had to be transcribed with use of translation with new stuff added in. So enjoy it, and if ya have any comment on it please leave one or leave an email at the trashmail email at the bottom of this page..

Druidry

  How to be a druid came from memories, of the Druids and my master, Immortis. This is the start, of an understanding of what they are an what they believed in as a druid for male and druidess for female, that is a celtish priest/ess that holds a normal life of some type of job or idea to live life for a focus, as they focus in on the seasons and believe in the Gods and Goddesses in their many different forms. As the Gods and Goddesses will help, and this includes the God and Goddess that will provide all on request including judgement, and this includes spell idea and effects.

 They are people that love nature and some like demonic energy, as they will do as they please despite others anger unless its tasteless as an activity. Today, they are mostly healers and peaceful types.

 So be aware of the seasonal changes that will occur and if you want to, try changing the event thats bad(sometimes by magic) or guiding people out of trouble. Due note: some Gods are obsessive and can be possessive of the person. So be careful.

 The basic premise is about respecting other people and being in touch with nature by celebrating or noting the seasons. It's also about keeping alive the traditions of the past 'people lives' that are totally dependent on the seasons. Mark the special events with an action in your mind. As a general rule, passion is the life and the moment is by action. Oh yes, if you try to join a druidic conclave and want to learn of modern druidry, try here @ http://www.druidry.org/ or a druidic clan of your choice if you want to get the most out of the experience.


The caste system

  It's worth noting that the Druids were of the Celts and the Celts we know had 3 basic divisions or castes:

 Druids (including bards and ovates) were the priests and professionals.Most of the educated folks would have been druids of some sort. And while they'd all have had some serious spiritual education, some would have focused on more secular things.
 The warriors were their own caste that served in wars.
 The bulk of the people were workers.

More info on druids


  Druids are also Avolonians, in my memories. Avolonian, were cruel careful people helpers, or they offered guidance, of an order of churchlike faith that rules by information, for example. They decended from Atleantian souls mixed with mixed human bloodlines and kept pure where the druids calling be to serve the light and by their own type of ability. They could appear, as any other, to not be detected, and yet its hard to detail the act they do as it was to be in and out and to confuse the watchful for an easy job according to their role at the time. They could go in an area, do a job and leave without anybody the wiser. Unless they wanted to be known, and then they would attempt to gain trust by a statement or activity. Quite easily they could use their powers in wartime, to end Wars. But, their ability was quite different as Druids could not use the Atleantians ability. Also, the Atleantians could not do as the Druids could and vice versa, except they could relate.

   The druids were and still are known as scholars in ancient times, nobles sent their children to be educated by the druids. Even from other parts of europe and today, scholarship is still very important to druidry. That's not to say it's all book learning but without the old caste system, modern druidry is a tradition of both spiritual learning and of service to the people and the land. This is true even for druids in reconstructionist communites that try to recreate the old caste system. Those groups usually require their druids to have advanced degrees as well as training in medicine.

   Some of the druids in older times left an area if they couldn't rule over people or were threatened with a fight and/or couldn't use manipulation at a distance with the worthy notion of improving lives or bring guidance at a distance. The ancient druids were divided into 3 functional orders, which are somewhat kept even today.

Primitive druid
Baird(bard)
Ovate

  Druidism originated amongst the megalithic ancient British. They taught it to the immigrant celts, and later trained celts to develope from the continent and migrated to ireland. Now onto the order of them.

  There is three orders of training: bard is the first level of training, ovate the second, druid the third. So all druids are both bards and ovates. These are the orders.

  The primitive druid or Druid is an order of involved with teaching science and religion. His/her robe is white symbolising light, purity and knowledge. However, some druids will specialize in bardic or ovate things. It's the druids who provide most of the leadership and teach the young.

  A baird or bard is an order of druid. The baird's office was to supervise, regulate and to lead. His robe was sky blue, symbolising justice and truth. Bards specialize in lore and inspiriation (poetry, music, art).

  An ovate is a type of druid. His purpose was to observe and invent. His or her rules over people were with no detection or misdirection. His robe is green symbolising budding life. Ovates are the seers and healers.

   Now the Druids are known now as peacemakers rather than warriors, though they were the metalurgists of their time, so the notion that they had nothing to do with war is either wholly false, or limted to a specific period. Which brings up the hidden fourth order of the Druids.

   The fourth druid order, the war druid, came along after a druid gave a representation to represent the wars of most and how to handle it without a fight. They are naturalists who were made by many factors of what they observed, to do things. Tourists of most places, when they aren't with war. Stayers where invited to be.

   The wartime druid be an order involved in wars of many types and also they involved themselves, in exploration and healing. They believed in fighting, to cause peace by acting a warrior using their own creations or disguises, by the idea of most they could learn from, they actually taught people how to survive and manipulate the fight, or to withstand any fight and win through it from a distance or making it unneccessary.

   Most often discounted as druids they are still a hidden order, paid to do wartime manipulations. They were counted as spies when caught, if they couldn't white lie themselves out of it, this is where the war druid has made their own rules and in these points closely followed, others made them separate for it. So, even the small challenges and events were counted in peaceful moments, for being as a war effort in the fight for survival or concept.

   As this be true, them being the individualist separatist sect of druids that they are, they were able to mix or remove from distances any army groups. By using the faery mists, they were able to dislocate those that were at dislikes. To protect the main group who worked with them and also prevent people and innocents from dying.

   Some were accounted geniouses, they knew how to turn the moment to their advantage by how they acted and what they did got accord. However they died was a mystery hidden by other druids. Because most of them that I know of, wouldnt like others messing in their wars. The genious was that they did, as themselves, tempt fate in bringing concepts to life and disrupting bad habits, while they were at it. What they could use they kept as if its useful, they sometimes considered the point of 'why throw it away except, when their was low interest' in everyday common idea, that had a one time use.

   Any unique idea that passed by them was used if possible, an example be their use of color is important of red and some other color like muddy if their purpose was to enrage, black if they thought to cause idea and actions. Now they hardly gave themselves away, excepting they wore black while acting perfect to their own perceptions, in an area they were going to. The last party ever to have a war druid was known to spread a sickness to those of criminal and hostile nature.

   They were known to sometimes use a monks fighting skill and idea along with the units if they had any. They have superior senses to survive and at most without weapons, unless they were necessary. The last war druid that people saw was a painter that went from nation and into indian nation and painted the wartime effort as it occured. In perfect detail of the indian effort, he painted them. And, yet the paintings today are still there, somehow in a museum appreciated by the civilized tribe of America.

Some druid mythology

  In Druid mythology, Taranis be the tyrant god of the wheel and life where things associated with forces of change and the wheel of time, Odin be the horned one or the God, but if you call the old one with his actual name, he might come to you. If in need he would help, but if there's not a good purpose then it will be to smite or harm yourself. Brigid was created by the God and isn't actually know to todays Druids. She be the Goddess to call for support or other except when angry for a broken promise and she causes soothing calm in forgiveness and to make aware or insanity or other punishment of that which was thought on. She only punished if the worshipper deserved it. The druids would try to rule over or with the God and find discriminization where some might find the Goddess is likely to take over the body and prevent the activity. An Avalonian would save the life of others if it was necessary by physical acts that included tricks and directed idea where skills and ability were necessary.

Some seasonal celebrations to be aware of

 Samhuinn and Beltane were traditionally abserved according to the local seasons as were Imbolc and Lughnasadh. These four are the Celtic fire festivals.

 There are three ways of deciding when to celebrate them now. Some go by calendar dates -- this is likely the most modern reckoning, and reconstructionists look down upon it. A more accurate way of doing the same thing, also disapproved of by the die hard traditionalists, is to celebrate when the sun reaches 15 degress of the current sign. This is usually off by the beginning of the month dates by 4 to 8 days, probably because of calendar changes over teh centuries. The traditionalists claim the ONLY way to properly celebrate is to observe the local land.

 To the traditionalists; Imbolc comes when the ewes begin to lactate, beltane when the hawthorne blooms and it's time to drive the cattle to their summer pastures, lugnasadh at the beginning of the harvest, and samhuinn when harvest is done and it's time to slaughter animals that won't make it through the winter.

 Now, there's the days of celebration for Samhain or Samhuinn that celebrate the start of winter as well that may also come on November 1st. This is when it marks the beginning of the cold season. Then, on the last day of December and at night, or on the last day of winter itself also at night, walk up to a store and get all the food you can buy that you could eat. And then try to bring it home and eat it all. This to celebrate the season change from winter. Also called a last days of winter celebration.

 Samhuinn, is also where secular halloweeen and christian all saints day come from. The day of the dead celebrated in mexico descends from a mainland version of the same holiday as it was a time to commune with the dead -- not such a fearful thing for the folks back then.

 There is the festival of coming spring celebration and Beltane, the beginning of the warm season and is dedicated to new life and fertility. Possibly on May 1st, and is where spring itself is celebrated by building a firepit and making a bonfire to dance around and optional is the drumbeat or music. Or, you can optionally dance around a maypole to music.

 Another way to celebrate it, is to make a mandala or ritual drawing that represents the direction of your life and its future. An thats far safer than the bonfire idea. You start with a drawing of a symbol and draw symbols connected to it that will represent what you want at the moment. Then realize what the entire symbol means to you and state it as an intent.

 The other idea of the seasons the druids did is described here @ http://www.druidry.org/obod/intro/festivals.html. Celebrated by however you want.

Magic use

  A druid can be a magic user, of life energy and incidences, which is events as described herein the how to do magic article. These magic ways described are not of the resembled modern druid magic, they're from the druids I remember from past lives. This includes their use of demons, too. They used them cautiously, by offering a token of power or a service/condition, that would allow them to get what they want. Before or after the request to the demon. So basically he or she has a practically long life that is extended by energy use. Thus, the general rule to follow for this magic be to try to make the effort to get the result, thinking of the result as you do. The Druids call this the practice of will.

  The Druid mage start out yeilding energy and manipulating it, to their need. Then, they can practice the elements. And, become the basic idea of an Elementalist. The Elementalist practitioner is one who specializes in the elements that are practiced when he/she wants. They master the elements, starting with the element/s they are attuned with easily. And then they branch out and try other elements. Till they master all that they want to use and yeild results with. This way is called a path that usually is guided, in some manner. But, there are self practitioners. The trick to this, is to do your practice in a designated moment in the time alloted. And, maybe have a spirit guide or master of the technique help you when you need it.

 As in the practice of what was called magic, the energy was expended only to come back double or triple what was expended by spellcraft. This is when a druid becomes a master of the elements and any idea they would represent is through thought of effect and they are in control of something. They literally can use intent and thought or words to cause a result easily, sometimes by the resonance of the words themselves. Also, by willed effects that they use to express their intent more easily.

 Another aspect of their magic is their use of Sacred Geometry, and the Leylines by Geomancy. As described here in the Geomancy for beginners article. In which they focused on the energy of the leyline and imagine what they want. Or, they state their goal as an intention that comes into fruition, near the leyline. Leylines are described here @ http://spellhawk.blogspot.com/2010/06/leylines.html. They sometimes do Projection stances, with their practices as it can come in handy.

 Here is a spell of protection. What you gotta do is to think a spell on a stone to 'not be found except by me' and then place it in a secret location that is near the center of the house after you cast the main spell. This spell you cast is by thinking at the stone (any stone) you want to use, 'don't be finding us' thinking of you, the people you want to protect and the house or area. Optionally you can strengthen the spell, by touching it while you think the words to the stone. The effect is a spell with your energy. Have fun as this spell will keep you protected from persecution and bad people, till you move out of the area.

White Magic and Healing

  White magic is study of good and manipulation arts along with god magic. This is only necessary when you deem it so. Healing and control by arranging events of area. Use of herbs are very restorative or poisonous to bear usage and either purge diseases, wipe unordered chaotic energy or cause diseases. A white magus can be used for a cleric replacement and is a priest of order or order magus. The attempt to make idea happen by focusing the words for positive magic effects, is to allot for prayers and ritual with sometimes more than one person. Banishments are necessary for an order priest and will detail by you effecting to know the ghost and then use the name if possible in the ritual with at least one lit nonred candle if possible. but you can use a circle of protection or iron will and critical thinking as a protection. The iron will reflects or resists the effect and the doubt of the critical thinking allots for disbelief of the negative magic. Think, its just an opinion. Now the ghost can be gotten rid of by saying the ghost name or just "ghost" and then "begone!" in a demanding voice.

  The rest of the functions are to write their book of shadows and efficiently illustrate it, while you effectively keep your secrets. For a person to write they understand what to erite, so do not write with unclear mind. Unless its purposeful ae protrection sake or any other. Self practice makes any ritual and a ritual is kung fu or continuous practice on a thing or idea until effecient in it. A way to gain the information is to ask, apprentice or meditate. To ask, find the right person and only in a good mood or a mood to get away from you, In their irritation they will answer for purposes of getting their irritant away from them or to quiet down. This apprentice system is explained in the magic classification. The meditation is the soul knowledge meditation to unlock the memories of your subconcious. Due note, those of white magic are noticed unless distraction is there and may be with practice; afflictive or unafflictive in personality. Those of afflictive nature will accost the irritative and manipulate as the want to unless theirs no gain in it. The unnafflictive will do as necessary to gain their needs but not accost as it might get attention.

  Now the way of the effective use is to run across a idea and its of use unless proven inefficient, finding irritants and either removing them or talk them out of it. If an item, then remove it or get nothing done, unless you ignore it. Persuade the irritant if possible to irritate someone or something else. If adjacent or opposed then to make use of evasion or persuasion by force or talking. Mental talk to the useful thing to get your idea of whats going on or to be easily persuading it. If its inversed of you, then ignore or don't give harmful info that might bite you in the end. Some take oaths not to kill unless its needed. Yet, this can allow you to cause them to kill themselves.

  Now on to healing, the act of healing is necessary to keep life in proportion. This is passing energy through the body and then causing the body to recover. Usually done by laying of hands. Place one hand on the spot of a pressure point and then the other hand on the opposite side. Then, think energy passes from one hand to another. This causes you to feel the energy surge from your fingers to the fingers and palm of the other hand. Through the target body.

  The other way is by use of herbs and essential oils like peppermint and lemongrass essential oil. Herbology is very useful and this is a list of herbs and useful essential oils. This list is here @ http://alt-sites.tripod.com/htdm2.htm#vyjuu.

Crystal druidry

   Druids may have been trained by the Atleantians, as they can know innate crystal magic, and how to wield the crystal if they try to work with the crystal, by the crystal telling them how or the training being remembered. They could do nearly anything with a crystal. Simply 'thinking' towards the crystal or shining a light at it. Generates an effect for them where the thought is made by will to go and materialize. Or, the effect happens that you imagine, state, or will as it is. Where the light shines through the crystal at an object or person, the effect occurs. Empowered by the crystal and your energy. Quartz could be used by 'programming it' and it could do nearly anything. Other crystals are varied in effects.

   To cleanse it of nasty effects and disturbances from it that go crazy on you. Wear the crystal for at least five days to cleanse it of bad crazy-making energies. Or, also possible is imagining a rainbow of energies come from your third eye and go through the crystal. Thinking 'cleanse' at it, while yielding the rainbow or having it near you will wipe the energy clean.

   There's a special modification to which creates a universal Z-flux energy field. Called a generator or pyramid of power. The later technology uses a power crystal generator. How to make a power pyramid is easier than thought. How to make the generator is harder and cannot be described here. Let that suffice and know its a good form to have, the crystal pyramid as it is handy in power manifests. You can generate power that resonates within you and keeps you energized by use of the pyramid of power or pyramid stone.

   The pyramid of power is via a Unified Field Theory device that uses a gemstone, gold or silver pyramid pointed to the true north to send an energy force approximately one mile in distance through a symbolic link of mentally manipulated wild energy. Wild energy is the atomic level interchange heat that is manipulated by humans through mind focus or mind over matter. This focus will cause the subconscious mind to be instructed to make the wild energy react as said person will imagine it. When enough focus is achieved through imagination of events, an idea will occur, but this would be taken on faith. The pyramid of power works because it draws its power from the sun charged spinning planetary core through such a symbolic link made of tachyons. This is also called a Core Tap and is a bit weaker at the surface unless its near a power well or power node.

The image above reflects a jeweled pyramid of power with a pyramid stone in the middle

   To do this pyramid of power, point the gold or silver pyramid to a alignment facing of true north. Through the imagination of an idea that is visualization or feeling of a pyramid and of the earth core you can make a symbolic link through the focus of wild fire. To make that symbolic link draw a straight thick copper, barium nitrate or magnesium baride line in your mind from the core to the pyramid and the symbolic link is set. Wait five minutes for the pyramid of power to be charged. Say out loud towards the stone, "I wish this to work no matter what!", near a lit candle or while imaging a lit candle. With feeling for the process to work without a hitch you may have to enhance it. Now mentally tell the pyramid by thinking of it to send out a Power Field in a one mile distance that will not hurt humans unless thier thieves and only power machines with what it needs to work. It will create a power wave that spreads out to the distance in a radius mile and any machine within this area will have energy in exactly how it is needed.

   In reality, the distance of the Unified Power Field will be infinite if you, the United Field Technician wanted to do it that way. It will feel like a low buzz in the background and your skin will be slightly prickled with energy if it is on. To turn it on or off, think of the words of intent that means on or off to you while thinking of the pyramid of power. You can also instruct the pyramid of power to defend the place of your desire in any way that that you need. What the Druids used this for was to power their crystalline devices, or crystals aligned by thinking to them to do things, and charge their drinks to make it healthier. The disease removing pool of water they called baths were charged by the Unified Energy Field from a golden or silver pyramid of power pointed to true north. Combined with the sulfur, the charging in the water created bone healing and disease removing effects. The mud baths were even more healthier. Everything was natural to them.

Potions and Magic Drinks

  Potions and other magical drinks can be useful. As written on in this article @ http://spellhawk.blogspot.com/2009/07/potion-making.html for Potions. Magical drinks can restore ability and energy that is not there.

   Drinking dried catnip tea is a surefired way to get heightened senses with increased potential. Mixing with Earl grey tea or oolong tea increases potency. Then there's lime juice, sugar, water, and a mint leaf. Similar effect, easy to purchase at any grocery store or online.

   Drinking charged drinks by 'thinking positive thoughts' at the drink, will cause it to gain a heaviness and coldness unless you think fire at it. This restores energy quickly and can quadruple it nicely. Don't overcharge or you could get tired. Thus, send your excess back to the planet by thinking it there.

   Thinking what you need at the drink, and this could be any drink or water, will make that ability of yours manifest the thought with intention for it to manifest. Drinking charged tea will occur energy recharge quickly. Don't charge coffee unless you want to bounce off the walls and stay up awhile. Charging really sugary drinks will cause you to be charged up for longer than thought.

   Magical Icies are the equivalent of a milkshake except your using fruit juice and ice. Maybe adding peanut butter to make it even better as a special energy boost. The fruit juice can come from something like crystal light drink mix packets. Add chocolate to the mix and you get a treat.

   The magical effect of these icies is the energy you put into the icy as its made, mostly by thinking the energy into the icy for a minute or more. The icy is to boost energy and sustain that energy level for hours. Peanut butter adds a few more hours to the duration.

   Magic milkshakes and smoothies are for milkshakes and smoothies that do magic for the energy.. enjoy as you want of them. All you need to do is place the ingredients in a blender and you get to blend them. In place of sugar you may use honey.

   Peanut butter milkshake:

   This tastes amazing and is actually surprisingly healthy as it gives elongated energy.
ice, milk.
chocolate.
peanut butter.
and sugar/stevia.

  These smoothie milkshakes hold the power to restore lost energy and for a few hours longer.

  Russian smoothie milkshake:

4 bananas
1 cup milk
Russian chai tea
Yogurt
1/3 cup sugar/some stevia

   Fruit Smoothie milkshake:

1 cup ice
1 cup pinapple
1 banana
3 tablespoons of sugar/some stevia
1/2 cup coconut milk/chocolate coconut milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

   Alternative fruit smoothie/milkshake:

Fruit
Milk/Chocolate milk
Sugar, Stevia or Splenda

   Strawberry Smoothie milkshake:
2 cups milk
1 banana
1/2 cup sugar/some stevia
1 pkg strawberry koolaid/any flavor fruit packet or frozen strawberries
2 cups ice

   Optional is the chocolate milk as a replacement to milk. You may use chocolate stevia as a sugar replacement.


Faery

   Fey are also faery or fairy, and no matter the name they are special targets of the Druids. They are either summoned for something, to do things on a trade of chocolate for the effect. Or, the fairy are thought about for the sex and the fey pheromones that enhance ability. Also, to summon one or several of them is to think them to where you be. This needs several minutes of concentration, where they will either appear or not appear. No matter, it depends on their whimsy. When they are likely to help, is when you say what you want and offer the chocolate. Otherwise, they could do harm or pranks on you for fun. That's if they don't like you. They can do nearly anything, to get their chocolate and to get the result you wanted by manifest. More info is here at The fey info and language page.

Dark druids


   There are also dark druids who are practically insane at their peak moments as they try to rule over people and work by passionate moments. There is a rule they follow; to do the deed as is possible and use a moment of passion as though the moment of life. They also use the idea that to destroy something is to gain energy from it and then they can do things their way. They represent the moment of darkness as the dark is the light to them. When they do something, its always with intention and they can feel violent and unbalanced, at certain times. Generated by enough of unbalanced idea or energy to kill with. They just get unbalanced, and never die from it unless they go too far. This effect of unbalancing is with some insanity from the chaos that they can make or generate and possibly use as an energy source.

   They live to deceive and do some manipulation or use the direct approach with money or trade, and thats the general idea of what they want and that they then mostly try to work with things on their own. When they lie, it can bring rewards to them. As these dark druids can do magic very easily. Which they often mix with their idea statements. They often go on their own and try to do what is necessary to them, with somewhat and sometimes opposite beliefs to others. They are very suspicious of people, as their God is actually called a dark one, sometimes representing a money source. Compared to the normal Druids. They can use demons to gain what they want very easily.

   The dark druids skew the idea they come across to fit their own idea and purpose. Then they try to create their own identity as a deity is known to be, to suit their purposes. The dark druids are shadow druids willing to poison the victim before they do violence or take wrath, and yet with no violence so there's no proof. They spare those who have some value.


Idea to follow along in

   The other idea to follow, in becoming a more capable druid is to know with discipline that they are a practical genius. This comes from being able to put info together and use it. As a source of their idea is to take from other sources what their idea is and put them together, to form a moment. And this knowledge is a model of the predating druidic idea. They can have this theory to build up the knowledge, of what they had lost long ago from the sources around them or from gnosis, which is the taking of meaning by aether or ether by intent and will from the universal conscious stream.

   This is information that was passed on as something else, and other idea that come about them to make the lost info up. Some idea of what they could do is presented at http://spellhawk.blogspot.com, and their language was either silent hand hanguage or spoken as Gaelic and is @ http://www.ceantar.org/Dicts/MF2/index.html or http://www.clanmacrae.org/documents/gaelic.htm with their silent hand language as of here, of long ago.

   So basically, they don't like fighting as much but they might have to, an they often hide their religion in plain view, unless spoken to about it. But, they don't hide unless pushed to. So it is a fascination what the druids used to be, and what they are now. They are sometimes "chosen" to be trained or they self-train, sometimes at an early age, and can follow the guidelines for training as in here @ http://spellhawk.nfshost.com/splrik.htm of the magic user training. As still they decide to having a name that they choose, and earn. They are free with their life and idea as it has practical usage. So be free with what you think is applicable and don't overdo it. Feel free to give at the moment you feel its necessary, as this improves life in general. Except for very suspicious people, who might say bad things about it or enforce their rule on the druid. In which, they avoid them if they can do so.
