Blessings of Star and Stone!
Welcome to Highland Oak Nemeton, a Druid Grove in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, that is affiliated with the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids (OBOD).
You may be feeling that in our modern lives we have separated ourselves from Nature and are out of touch with the needs of our species and our world. You may be looking for a philosophy, a spirituality, or perhaps just ideas, that can help you get back in touch with Nature again, an ecological spirituality, if you will. It has been said that the ecological pragmatism of indigenous peoples was a great deal more realistic in terms of conservation ethics than the more intellectual monotheistic philosophies of the revealed religions.
These Old Ways, reinterpreted for our times, can offer us the kind of spirituality that we need to heal the separation that has occurred between ourselves and our environment. Druidry is one such Way; in the video below we see seven of the gifts Druidry can offer to our modern lives.
Our central values are tolerance and inclusiveness that completely rejects expressions of racism, fascism and homophobia, and we are open to followers of all faiths and none, regardless of gender, sexual orientation or ethnic origin.
Whether you already walk the forest path or follow another religion or spirituality but wish to learn more about modern Druidry, we welcome all who come in peace and in a spirit of reverence for the natural world to visit with us to explore this vital and dynamic earth-centered spirituality. Please see About Us for details.
