World Druidry

Mythic images of moonlit oak forests, and sickle-wielding, white-robed sages abound, but is there really such a thing as a modern-day Druid? If so, what do modern-day Druids believe? What are their religious and spiritual practices? How do their beliefs and practices vary across Druid groups, countries, cultures, and regional landscapes? What, if anything, do the Druids of the world have in common?

Easy to read, and richly illustrated with hundreds of direct quotations from 725 practicing Druids, in 34 countries, and 147 Druid groups around the globe, World Druidry presents the findings of the World Druidry Survey of 2018-2020, the first rigorous, sociological study of contemporary Druidry as a fast-growing, international new religious movement.

In an era plagued by climate-anxiety and eco-despair, reading true stories of practicing Druids — who are working to cultivate honorable relationships with Nature — was a truly uplifting experience for me as a researcher. I hope you find their stories inspirational, as well.
