rocala Posted August 2, 2017 Hello everybody Since 2011 I have been following Buddhism but I have also found much inspiration in modern Druidry. In both of these subjects I have come across favourable references to Daoism so I guess it is time to explore further. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted August 2, 2017 Hello rocala, and welcome. Your membership is approved and we're happy you found your way to us. We look forward to accompanying you on some of the way that you still have to go. Please take the time to read the post pinned at the top of this Welcome page and take a look at the forum terms and rules. This covers all you need to know when getting started. For the first week you will be restricted to ten posts per day but after that you can post as much as you like. Also, until you’ve posted fifteen times in the forums, you’ll be a “Junior Bum” with somewhat restricted access and will be allowed only two private messages per day. Good luck in your pursuits and best wishes to you, Marblehead and the TDB team Hi rocala, Yeah, I think you will find some alternate perspectives in Daoism that you don't find in either Buddhism or Druidry. You are welcome to jump right in ongoing discussions, revive an older thread, start a new thread of your own, or start a discussion in the "Newcomer Corner" sub-forms to expand on your introduction or ask general questions to help you get started. May you enjoy your time here. Marblehead 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In both of these subjects I have come across favourable references to Daoism so I guess it is time to explore further Hi rocala, Thank you for 'modern Druidry' - it is completely new to me. Googled and like this on Wikipedia: Neo-Druidism or Neo-Druidry, commonly referred to as Druidry by adherents, is a form of spirituality or religion that generally promotes harmony and worship of nature, and respect for all beings, including the environment. Many forms of modern Druidry are neopagan religions, whereas others are philosophies that are not religious in nature. Originating in Britain during the 18th century, Druidry was originally a cultural movement, only gaining religious or spiritual connotations in the 19th century. The core principle of Druidry is respect and veneration of nature, and as such it often involves participation in the environmental movement. Another prominent belief among modern Druids is the veneration of ancestors, particularly those who belonged to prehistoric societies. Your linkages (Buddhism + modern Druidry + Daoism) are in good order. I like. - LimA 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
