RE: The Riverkicks play Druid Fest

[adetorrent]

European pre-christian traditions are very interesting. People were much more in tune with nature and their immediate surroundings back then. I was just reading about Harvest Festival yesterday (the closest Sunday to the Equinox), which is when the Harvest Festival would have been celebrated back in the day. Ironically its usually only remembered by the Church that replaced those customs. Druid Fest sounds interesting.

They seem a nice bunch of people with their own quirks. I really don't know too much about their beliefs, but I'm all for being in tune with nature.

Nature forms such an important focus of their reverence, that whatever beliefs they hold about Deity, all Druids sense Nature as divine or sacred. Every part of nature is sensed as part of the great web of life, with no one creature or aspect of it having supremacy over any other. Unlike religions that are anthropocentric, believing humanity occupies a central role in the scheme of life, this conception is systemic and holistic, and sees humankind as just one part of the wider family of life.
