Your inability to believe in a diety made you fall away from druidism, though? Strictly speaking, you don't have to believe in any gods to be a druid, do you? That was never my understanding of the overall movement. Was it the pomp, then, that made it seem silly, or?
Yes, without belief that there was SOMETHING invisible and powerful out there that would answer prayers (some of them were spells, but those are really just prayers in a different form - trying to force a deity to do something for you) then the pomp, the ritual, the prayers just feel silly. Why set up an altar and pray - in any form, to any god - if you don't believe anyone is listening?
Morgan is about to turn 9 - she has already skipped a grade at school and might get sent to an advanced science academy. We'll get MoMo and Morgan to meet someday . . . (we'll need one more girl, though, the Morrigan is a triune deity!) and then we'll build a bomb shelter . . .
