  • Thank you Liz. It is so wonderful seeing Aidan again, even for a second on this! It is such a testament to him and the "blithesome" butterfly way he saw life. Thank you - we loved him dearly.

    Matt and Nicci

  • You're welcome. I only met Aidan once - at the OBOD Summer Assembly in 2005 where the footage for this news report was taken - but I shall not forget his spirit, humour and wisdom. Liz x

  • I'd like to dedicate this video to Aidan, who was the butterfly emerging from the cauldron of re-birth in the ceremony below Glastonbury Tor shown in this clip. He died peacefully this morning. May his journey to the Summerlands be blessed.

  • It's nice to see some traditional christians actually taking the time to see what paganism is about before making jugements. It's also nice to see bbc covering sabbats :)

  • I too, am so pleased to see this being shown on the BBC and seeing Christians open to learning something about Druid rituals (and beliefs, Reverend) which really lifts my spirits. I've been on a journey for the last ten years or so, trying to work out what I believe in and seem to for ever go in circles, finding it difficult to move away from Christ and yet Loving the spirit of our planet. I think I'll have to be a Christo-Druid, or maybe even a Culdee! Peace and love to all. -O- /|\

  • @niallobinghe, chip on your shoulder much? If you don't like/agree with OBOD, why watch the videos? Is it just to leave your negative opinions that none of us are interested in?

  • What a brilliant and inspiring segment to be shown on television. I'm glad that druidism and paganism is reaching a level of acceptance where this sort of program can be aired on public T.V.

  • Videos such as this show O.B.O.D. as the acceptable face of Druidry, as practiced

    by new age pensioners, maing the step from high church to 'druid' relatively easy.

    for instance the Awen chant [my Welsh mentor told me this word was whispered] is

    Amen with one letter reversed. this is all nice and benign but will one day evolve and throw off the new age clothes..

  • turning from Jesus. I'd hate to be these ppl on the day of Judgement.

  • great

  • Grüße aus der Oberlausitz!

  • Well remeber she doesn't need to be saved, we do. She will be here after us and will regenerate.
