A podcast about being a druid, and an imperfect one at that. And about practices and beliefs of the druid community.  We'll be covering a lot of topics here related to being a druid, to practices and beliefs (or non-beliefs), rituals, holy days, books, nature-related topics, among a whole host of others, and sometimes we'll cover topics that affect the LGBTQ+ community as well. And of course we'll have guests on from time to time.
