The Irish College of Druids has evolved out of the training
courses that have previously been offered by The Grove of Danu.
The growing interest in the study of Irish Druidry and the enthusiasm
with which our courses are being received have inspired us to make
them more widely available through a combination of local, residential
and distance study for students from further afield.
  
 
 
 
As Druids we strive to express a living Spirituality
that upholds the rightful development of Human Beings
within the Oneness of All Creation;
And to work for the Healing of the Earth,
The Harmony of Peoples
And the Protection and Support of all Beings.
  
 

We believe in the Highest, Uncreated Primal God
And His Power, the Goddess, Mother of all Creation and
In the sacredness of all Creation and the Oneness of all Beings;
We understand the Deities of our land to be manifestations of God and
Goddess in the perceptions of human beings.
We honour the Ancestors of our land, our blood and our spiritual
tradition and seek the wisdom of those who walked this path before us.
We believe that through the self-moved path of transformation we can
attain the Imbas, or the illumination that brings enlightenment.

*Druidry is not a religion but a spiritual path; this means there is no central authority, no
dogma and no requirement to believe all that is offered for your consideration during your
training. You will find however that the basic form of our practice is held in common with
the practices of all druids.
The above statement has been born out of the perception and understanding of the Druids
of The Irish College of Druids and is not necessarily representative of the beliefs of
all Druids. Like the majority of the Druids of Ireland we honour the diversity of perception
and practice that exists among us as evidence of a living, organic spiritual path.
