Druidry – Emergence Of A New Religion

On 2nd October 2010 the multi-religious human society witnessed the emergence, or official emergence, of yet another religion, viz. Druidry. On that day Britain gave official recognition to this ancient neo-pagan religion, and also decided to give charitable status to the same.

The decision was taken by Charity Commission for England and Wales, in response to a four years old application submitted by The Druid Network.

So what is Druidry? Well, it is a faith that its followers (called Druids) take on different forms of nature. The religion has its roots in Britain, Ireland and Western Europe.
