Sorry about taking so long, last month was a bit busy. Among other things, I gave a sermon about druidry last week, so I spent a good part of the last month finishing it.

The seventh principle of Unitarian Universalism is "Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part". This one is likely the easiest of the seven to relate to druidry.

Reverence for nature is a core part of druidry, so is connection to everything. For me, everything has a spirit and honoring those spirits is important. People, community, the environment, all of creation is connected to and is in relationship with everything else. Humans need to stop separating ourselves from nature and each other.

Druids, and pagans in general, revere mother earth and try to live in harmony with her. UU's tend to do the same, though many would word it differently. I believe the seventh principle calls us all to live in community with the whole of our world. We are a part of it and a part of nature. We are not masters of either and need to stop acting like we are. We should be caretakers of this home of ours. As a part of nature, humans are no more nor less deserving of respect than anything else.

Introductory Stuffs

Hello and welcome to my blog. I intend to write once a month about druidry and spirituality. There will likely be posts about recent events as they happen if I feel they would make good articles. I apologize for taking so long before writing my first post.

My first posts will be about the Seven Principles of Unitarian Universalism, in reverse order. And how they all interconnect. I will also show how they fit into druidry. This blog will be used help order my thoughts, and these are the ones that I feel need ordering for me first. After that, we'll see what needs to fall out of my head next.

Now for a little about the humble writer of this blog. I am physicist and employed as a scientist. I have also been reading about druidry for several years and not doing much with it. This year has seen that change and steps taken to really bring it into my life as a core part of it. 

I plan to start with a post about the Seventh Principle, respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part. This will happen by the end of the month, followed by a post by the end of the first full week of every month.

Thanks for reading, and feel free to leave any comments that might help to make this blog better and more useful.
