Hi Julie

Being this forum is about nature and the wild, I can imagine there are a fair few closet pagans, or people with nature type spiritual beliefs here, but choose to keep it hush hush, because of Paganisms over all reputation, quite a lot of people still think Pagans worship Satan and sacrifice blonde virgins, so you cant really blame them for being secretive about it.

I am absolutely fascinated with our Celtic past, if I had a time machine id go back to them times and become a Druid, and see why and how they built Stonehenge. The effort and time they put into building that circle is so mind-boggling that it must have been for something that meant more than life itself to them.

What I like about the Celtic beliefs is that it was a celebration of nature and way of connecting with it. It taught to take from nature, but to keep a balance by equally giving back to nature, something more people need to be understanding today more than ever. What the Celts believed is true if you think about it, that nature is our mother and father, because without it none of us would be here. We should respect nature and honour it, just as we do our physical human mother and father, because its in both our interest and natures interest for us to do so.
