Druidry and the Ancestors – Finding our place in our own history

Nimue Brown has been an active Pagan for years, having volunteered for the Pagan Federation and the Druid Network. She has run moots, a folk club, workshops, open rituals, and meditation groups, teaches privately and was a founding member of Druid Gorsedd Bards of the Lost Forest. OBOD trained, her other main influences are Emma Restall Orr, Brendan Myers and Glennie Kindred. Nimue blogs at www.druidlife.wordpress.com and wrote www.hopelessmaine.com a webcomic illustrated by her husband, artist Tom Brown, soon to be published as a graphic novel. She lives on a narrowboat in her native Gloucestershire, UK, with her family, exploring a green and creative lifestyle.

What do our ancestors give us? What are their stories, held in our blood and DNA? How do we, as modern Pagans, learn from them? By looking, and honouring their truth. Nimue certainly does that here, and her tale is one that we can all learn from as we move to take our place amongst those fascinating folk. --Cat Treadwell
