Welcome friends, here I will share my path of AODA Druidry and Pagan Basics, where the flow of inspiration and the spirit of Awen guide my spiritual journey. Here, I share practices, rituals, and reflections rooted in the ancient wisdom of the Druids, tailored for today’s world. Through this sacred tradition, I seek to harmonize with nature, deepen my connection to the Earth, and embody the principles of the Rule of Awen in daily life. Join me in celebrating the Awen as we walk the Druidic path together, nurturing the soul and the land.
AODA is a Rainbow of Awen
There is a phrase I’ve often returned to in my contemplations AODA is a rainbow of Awen.Not just a home for diverse people which is an amazing in itself, but a home for diverse ways of thinking, diverse spiritual lineages, diverse experiences of the Sacred. When we speak of “diversity,” our minds often go first…

Priest of Awen
Welcome, fellow seeker — to a path not paved in stone, but whispered in wind and stirred in soul. I write not from a pulpit, but from a grove within, where the wind of Awen stirs leaves of knowing and unknowing alike. This is not a manual. It is a lantern I offer you, lit…
Way of the Sun
I would like to invite you to walk with me today—not just across the land, but along a much older path. This path winds not through forest or field, but through the very fabric of sky and time. It is ancient. It is luminous. It is alive. This is the path of the ecliptic belt.…
Sphere Of Protection (Aphantasia Friendly)
Hello fellow seekers I would like to share with you something powerful within the Ancient Order of Druids in America (AODA). We call it the Sphere of Protection, or the SOP for short.

Earth Friends: The Gnomes
“Let me tell you about a secret most don’t know,” the druid began, his voice dropping to a soft tone as the fire crackled beside him.

Animal Burial Rite: A Sacred Farewell
Losing an animal companion is never easy. The bond we share with them is deep, and their absence leaves a great void in our lives. This rite is a way to honor the life of our beloved animal companions, acknowledging their place within the natural world and their transition back into the earth. It draws…
The Earthbound Craft
When I set out to share this system of magic, my goal was to share/craft something rooted in both the natural world and alchemical thought—a magic that’s simple, accessible, and connected to the elements. Inspired by Radagast the Brown from The Lord of the Rings, who has a magic intertwined with nature rather than control,…
Bombadiling: A Practice of Playful Presence
Imagine we are walking through the forest, sunlight gently breaking through the trees, casting a warm, golden glow on the path ahead. The earth beneath our feet is soft, each step cushioned by layers of fallen leaves, damp with morning dew. Our pace is unhurried, guided by the rhythm of nature, and as we wander…
By the Firelight: The Rule of Awen
As the twilight deepens and the embers crackle in the heart of the fire, a Druid settles into a comfortable silence, the kind that precedes a tale of deep significance. The glow of the flames dances across weathered faces, and the warmth of the hearth creates a cocoon of comfort and shared understanding. The Druid…
The Tree of Life
The concept of death and the soul can be challenging for many to embrace in our modern world. It often feels distant and even intimidating to contemplate.

Through these sacred acts, we mimic the Gods, contributing to the ongoing creation and preservation of the world. Remember, each time you perform a ritual, you’re not…
Into the Grove of AODA
The ancient forest whispered its secrets as the Druid made his way through the sacred grove, the earth cool and damp beneath his bare feet. The sky above was a canvas of twilight hues, where the first stars began to peek through, heralding the coming night. He carried with him the wisdom of ages, the…
Rite of Awen
Often in life, we forget what we are doing and about, which can block our creative energies. Feeling this block can bring us down and into another state of being, which can be unpleasant for ourselves and those around us. To help overcome this, we can turn to the Rite of Awen, a powerful rite…
The Rays of Awen
As A Druid, I connect a lot to what we call Awen. Awen is considered a force that can flow through anyone open to receiving it, and it helps to inspire creativity, insight, and spiritual illumination. It is also seen as a way of connecting with the natural world and the cycles of the seasons…
