The aim of this Druid Order (amending all the time) is to keep the old faith of the Druids alive today in the Northern Realm of the High Peak.
"To be Pious against the Goddess/Gods, not to do injury, and to practice bravery"
Whatever faith or belief you have, tis grand.
To be a member is easy - just send e-mail to this site, and there you
are.
The objective is to meet around the eight festival times of the Celtic
Year, if possible.
Ideally, the thoughts are, using the Northern Temple of Arbor Low: A grand
sacred place to meet. Otherwise to circulate around the many sacred places
in the High Peaks. (Suggestions required)
Also to try and meet with other Druid Orders:

Spring Equinox 05
Magical Mystical Tour
This year 2005 20March 6-09am- a New Moon also marking a time of new beginnings.
The days lengthen and the nights shorten after the Winter
Solstice, and the Vernal Equinox marks the point when day and night are
of the same length. Equinox - means equal night and 'Vernal' comes from
the Latin word for 'bloom', as in the northern hemisphere, this equinox
marks the end of Winter and the beginning of Spring.
The earth awakens...
The Spring Equinox - also known as Ostara or Eostre -
is celebrated as a festival of new growth, renewal, a re-balancing of
energies and the return of longer days. It is also known as the day of
equilibrium.
Eostre was a pagan goddess of fertility, and the Christian festival of
Easter derives its name from her. This is the time when the young Sun
God now celebrates a sacred marriage with the young Maiden Goddess. The
egg symbolized Eostre's wholeness and fertility - the hormone oestrogen
is named after her - and is offered at this equinox as a symbol of new
life. The golden yolk represents the Sun God, its white shell is seen
as the White Goddess. Decorated eggs and egg hunts come from pagan fertility
rites dedicated to Eostre.
The hare was regarded as the sacred animal of this lunar goddess

The Druids met OH! not in Kingly hall or bower.But where wild nature girt herself with power.They met where streams Flashed bright from rocky caves.They met where wood made moan o'er warriors graves,and where the torrent rainbow spray was cast and where cark leaves were heaving to the blast and the Oaks breathed mysterious murmers round.
Druid Prayer
Deep Within the Still Centre of My Being,may I Find Peace.
Silently Within the Quiet of the Grove May we Share Peace.
