Signs of Druidical Inclinations by Mike the Fool, 2010

• If you think the two Basic Tenets address a neglected part of your spiritual quest
• If you think there is more going on behind tangible reality
• If a sunrise gives you hope
• If you don’t feel alone in the woods or by the seaside
• If you’ve ever watched the shadow of a tree slowly rotate around the base or sat long enough to see the stars spin during a night
• If you’ve ever thought twice about pruning a tree or cutting the grass
• If you’ve ever thanked your meal for its sacrifice
• If you’ve ever greeted a tree or a rock
• If fall makes you think of death, winter makes you dream of stories, spring brings thoughts of renewed life and summer is a frisky time
• If seeing an owl tearing apart a mouse, gives you a moment of reflection on your own mortality
• If you get a warm chuckle at mankind’s hubris and vanity in matters of religion
• If you’ve been taught “right and wrong???, but wish to follow a honorable path for reasons other than threats or bribes…
• If you know that while there are differences, there is also common ground in all faiths to work together
• If you ever wondered where was the reverence for Nature in her own right
• If you thought the creation part of Genesis was a bit skimpy
• If you’d like to ask folks some hard questions and take away some frank answers
• If you’ve wondered why people pray inside concrete boxes
• If environmentalism means more than recycling beer cans
• If you’ve ever felt the pulse of power in a song or poem
• If you usually figure out the weather better than the news
• If you devoured books of mythology, magic and monsters
• If the idea of sitting around the fire all night with friends, food, folk music, a bottle of whiskey and fantastic stories sounds like “your kind of church???
• If you got a sense of humor that’s irrepressible
• If you’ve wondered how the peoples of ancient times felt about life, society, the divine and the arts
• If mandatory religious practice or belief disquiets you
• If you like to figure things out by mixing advice, research, trial and error and happenstance
• If you have the courage of opinion to stand by what experience has taught you
• If you sometimes lose track of the boundaries between religion, philosophy and culture
• If the thirst for knowledge and wisdom consumes you
• If you find an exception to every rule and a connection to every random fact
• If you’re interested in the Celts, but not averse to going farther afield in your studies to patch together a framework .
