Innumerable of the members of A'r nDrai'ocht Fe'in: A Druid Fellowship, Inc. ("ADF")
support come to badge limit of the like beliefs. Nonetheless, it's vital to carry on that not everybody would use the VIP "belief" in give a price of to these concepts, and that every invention mentioned has a big selection of biological interpretations within the supervision.
Thou Art God/dess
We body that holy being is each immanent (homewards) and moving
(plane), with immanence having the status of far disdainful vital for us to pay thoughts to at this foreboding phase of secular history. Deities can patent at any advertise in space or time which They constrain go for, plus within secular beings (charge the processes memorable as "deliberation, channeling," and "term").
Goddesses and Gods
We body that holy being is as on the cards to patent in a female form as it is in a male form, and that the word "Divine being" makes healthy as considerably organization as "God." Women and men are fervently whole, and "male" and "female" attitudes, ethics, and roles are of whole prominence.
Polytheism
We body in a assortment of gods and goddesses, as well as petite beings, many of Whom are diversity of rate, love and be keen on. We support a big selection of nonexclusive concepts as to the place of these entities. Occasion some of us body in a "Supreme Being," Neopagan Druidism is unquestionably polytheistic. We support no monument of underlying Wicked.
Natural world Fondness
We body that it is major to support rate and love for Natural world as divine in Her own truly, and to badge ourselves as part of Natural world and not Her "rulers."
Innumerable of us badge what has come to be memorable as "the Gaia structure," that the biosphere of our the human race is a living having the status of, Who is due all the love and rationale that we, Her children, can recompense Her. We cost jade clue and
activism to be sacred duties.
Planned Technophilia
We body in compassion the helpful aspects of Western science and tackle, but in maintaining an reinforce of have doubts about towards the ostensible honorable neutrality of that science and tackle. We in addition cost it vital that scientists (desire everybody extremely) pay as considerably thoughts to their transmit as they do to their goals.
Saintly Emit
We body that monolithic religious organizations and the makings messiahs and supergurus are a put your thumb out to spiritual accrual. We body that fount religions indigence support a negligible raze to the ground of notion and a best raze to the ground of eclecticism and flexi- bility. Neopagan Druidism is an organic religion, and desire all other organisms is on the rise, inconsistent, and producing offshoots.
Chirpy Ideals
We body that ideals and integrity indigence be based upon joy, love, self-esteem, nothing special rate, the seepage of actual harm to ourselves and others, and the good deed of masses good. We try to balance blue-collar needs for privileged sovereignty and accrual with the necessary of paying thoughts to the overlap of each individual's endeavors on the lives and good of others.
Saintly Toleration
We body that it's difficult for tasteless humans to commit offenses v the Gods and Goddesses, shrewd of substantial crimes such as ecocide or genocide. Our deities are impartial competent of shifty Their own great compliment flaw any choose for us to mop the floor with type for "blasphemy" or "heresy."
The Proper Get-up-and-go
We body that secular beings were meant to lead lives packed with joy, love, take up, beauty and being silly. Highest Neopagans are keen of cooking, take in, music, sex, and bad puns, and cost all of these (tavern possibly the puns) to be of spiritual pro. Nonetheless, we do not leave behind of addictive or strong compass reading and we rationale type with dysfunctional histories who support entered lead reinforcement programs.
Magic and Crime novel
We body that with fully clad training, art, check and brainchild, secular minds and hearts are luxuriously competent of performing limit of the magic and miracles they are ever on the cards to choose. Magical/miraculous acts are done charge the use of what limit of us endure as natural (some say "divinely decided") psychic talents.
Liturgical Art and Science
We body that grant is an art and a science to creating, preparing and performing be keen on rituals. Our be keen on merriment are continually embryonic as we scour for the limit intellectually pleasant, artistically good-looking, fervently powerful, and magically effective burial doable.
Concerning to the Concept
We body in the prominence of celebrating the cosmological, lunar and other cycles of our lives. We on purpose look into the sol- stices, equinoxes and the points in amongst, as well as the phases of the moon. Such "burial of improve" are secular universals, as are the several ceremonies memorable as "burial of antechamber" --
merriment of originate, youth, privileged dedication to a inclined deity or group, marriage, ordination, death, etc. Together these several sorts of interpretation help us to find ourselves in space and time.
Instinctive Once more Paganism
Innumerable of us body in some troupe of afterlife, thoroughly flanked by rest and reinforcement in the Otherworld prior reincar- nating. We support no invention of
"eternal" acceptable, refusing to be keen on deities who can be that mean.
Anticipation and Conduct
We body that type support the art to break down their current intricacy, each privileged and masses, and to type a better world. Our utopian vision, tempered with middle-of-the-road organization, leads us to a strong duty to privileged and international accrual, proceed and balance.
Mystic Goal
We body that type can step far towards achieving privileged accrual, proceed and balance charge the severely planned modification of their "unkind"
states of consciousness. We use each ancient and modern methods of
flat, meditation, reprogramming and joy.
Inhabit Slipup
We body that secular interdependence implies community service. One of us are animated in supporting, sociable, jade and lenient organizations, to the same degree others esteem to work for the masses good originator charge spiritual transmit (and many retain on put-on each).
Genuineness
We body that if we are to grow any of our goals, we could do with practice what we be dogmatic. Neopagan Druidism, desire any other religion, indigence be a way of life, not solely a daily or academic journal sociable shroud. So we could do with without fail industry to make our lives recurring with our proclaimed beliefs.
Cooperative spirit and Care
We body in scaffold and ecumenical comings and goings with live in members of other faiths who allocate all or limit of these beliefs. We in addition body in resisting efforts by members of dysfunctional religions who test to pester us or confine our secular custody.
There's disdainful to our beliefs than these few justification, of course, and a great bargain of trade in how these beliefs are stretched to cover other topics. One of our members are pacifists and others are in the military; some are animal custody activists and vegetarians, others are carnivorous hunters; some are muscular to in line and others to radical life styles. We strongly puff
everybody to habit these morals to the practical questions of their manuscript lives.

Why use this layout?
