I am the Secretary and the Solitary Advisor for the Henge of Keltria, a Keltrian Initiate, and a Grove Leader, and I am on Nemeton-L, Imbas-public, draiocht, alt.religion.druid, Earthclan, realmagicdigest, and Keltria-L. (Did you know we had our own mailing list, by invitation/membership only?) I am also on staff here at the Summerlands.*p*     I will readily admit, though, that we aren't a real "in your face" organization. However, several of the Druids here at Summerlands are also members of the Henge, and some specifically members of the Grove of the Golden Horse (our Keltrian grove). *p*: I posed the question of *br*: training programs to the Henge to which I received the very *br*: approriate reply of, "We will not comment on other *br*: training programs unless it is the stance of the entire *br*: organization." *p*     To whom did you pose this question?*p*: This I understand completely as upon *br*: second thought, I *too* would deem it inappropriate to *br*: comment on one organization if I was a representative of *br*: another. To this end I've decided to become a member of both *br*: organizations (the ADF and the Henge) in order to evaluate *br*: for myself the lessons each offers and how I can apply these *br*: or fit them in to my own studies and beliefs. *p*    Welcome! :-)*p*: I suppose my *br*: hopes for this message are that the Summerlands community *br*: might share with me the paths they took to knowledge and if *br*: that involved any organizational training. I'm not seeking a *br*: critique of current organizations but rather a guiding hand *br*: perhaps to point me in the right direction. I've been an *br*: avid student of Celtic history, myth and legend for years *br*: and now I'm now taking my first steps onto the path of *br*: learning in regards to modern Druidry...Baby steps they may *br*: be ;) I seek the wisdom of those who are far down this path *br*: in order that I may avoid some obstacles you perhaps *br*: encountered in your days of Druidic infancy.*p*     Avoid anything by Douglas Monroe. :-)*p*     Our Grove has a reading list at the URL below. And I would be happy to answer any questions you might have about the personal path I have taken.*p*Blessings,*br*Leigh*p**br*
