I recently rejoined the Pagan Druid organization Ar nDraiocht Fein: A Druid Fellowship. At first I was apprehensive about returning because I had some unsavory social interactions with other members in the past. I had also begun to struggle with ritual and other practices of the Druidic Path. I decided to come back to ADF after more than a year because I had felt a pulling to read more about Druids of old and to study Indo-European mythology more in depth. Now that I am back, I realized I missed the community, even though I felt it had treated me badly at times. I missed the Druid Way and the beauty to be found in it. I also wanted to complete some of the study programs available to ADF members. For the most part, I am happy to be back. I am still somewhat apprehensive about the social aspect of membership, but I am glad to have returned home. We’ll see in the coming weeks if I am welcomed with open arms.
Blessings, Rosemary
