Hello everyone, I just signed up and I’m looking forward to meet other Radical Faeries. Dache is my Fae name and my Christian name is Kelly. I identify as a Druid. I’ve always had this feeling I was a Druid. Started exploring the arts shortly after a life changing event that led me down the path of healing, selfawarenes, spirituality and led me down the road of expanding my newfound spirituality and during all this it awoke in me the Druid I’ve always known I was even as a small child. My interests in the Arcane the Earth magic. Also curious if there are any Druids on this platform and is there a Group or a community page devoted to the masculine side of witchcraft?

Hello and welcome. I’m Tracy from England. I’m not Druid but this is a practice that is huge here. I follow the Nordic practice and work with Loki mainly in chaos Magick, along with traditional witchcraft and runes. I also work with Odin on occasion, alot with Thor, Tyr and recently Fenrir, also masculine deities ( we get along).

We have many witches here of all practices and genders, it’s a beautifully diverse community that I feel is unique to this space, we must have Druids here too, I know many here work with Fae.

I found this, it maybe interesting to you. I work predominantly with the masculine gods and energy, though occasionally a goddess knocks on my door.

Look forward to getting to know you. Make yourself at home Lovely 💚

Welcome @Dache ! I’m glad you have joined us. I’m from Minnesota and have been practicing many aspects of the craft for 35+ years. I currently work with chaos magick, voodoo and divination. I did study the Fae about a year ago, but don’t really work with them. I do set up a lovely little space for them in my garden when the snow melts and they seem to enjoy it.

I look forward to getting to know you better and chatting with you more in the other conversations here in the forum. Feel free to jump into any of the other posts and if you ever have questions don’t hesitate to ask, there is always someone available to guide you.

Blessings 💜💜💜

Hi, @Dache! I’m Amethyst from Southern West Virginia. Welcome to the forum! :infinite_roots:

Not sure if there’s any Druids here or not to tell the truth. I know there’s a blog by John Beckett who is a Druid and a Witch that’s great if that helps you. Maybe you’ll find something interesting there.

It’s times like these I miss the old Witchvox. They had a great way to find groups online and in your local area. Sure, it didn’t work well for me but that’s because I live in the boonies. There are a lot of magic groups in my state about fifty miles from me. Or at least there were.

Anyhow, I hope this helps. Also look for books by Jason Mankey. I enjoy his writing and he’s got some great books out there.

Nice to meet you!

Merry meet @Dache and welcome!

My name is Kat, and I’ve been practicing the craft for over 30 years. My practice is rooted in a blend of nature magick, green magick, and elements of hedgecraft. I work closely with the natural world, drawing inspiration from plant spirits, animal spirits, and liminal spaces. My interests include herbalism, gardening, and divinatory practices like tarot, throwing bones, and Lenormand.

There is a wonderful search function that will help you dig for more information in the forums!

We’re glad to have you here. 💜 Make yourself comfortable, explore, and feel free to ask questions!🌿:acorn: 🌙 🦌

Hello @Dache,

Welcome to the forum! I’m Bry, one of the moderators and an Eclectic Witch. It’s very nice to meet you 😊

> [@Dache](#):
>
> Also curious if there are any Druids on this platform

I’ll second Artemisia about the search - if you [run a search for ‘druid’](https://forum.spells8.com/search?q=druid), you’ll find some relevant discussions and folks practicing and/or researching Druidry.

While Spells8 welcomes magickal practitioners of all paths, if you’re interested in honing in on Druidry in particular, the most popular organization I know of is the [Order of Bards, Oaates, and Druids](https://druidry.org/). They have some resources on their site that may be of interest to you.

> [@Dache](#):
>
> page devoted to the masculine side of witchcraft?

Tracy shared the God’s Temple course - that’s a great place to find resources and topics about Divine Masculing deities. I also recommend visiting the Divine Masculine energy guide here:

> **[Divine Masculine Energy: What It Is & How To Use It](https://spells8.com/divine-masculine/)**
>
> The divine masculine has been an integral part of humanity since the beginning of time. Most people think masculinity has been in control and in power for thousands of years. What if I told you that masculinity has not actually ever reached its point...

And a while back, the coven community did a challenge exploring Divine Masculine energies. The challenge has some resources and, if you scroll down to the comments section, you can see the spellwork and ideas shared by the coven. I’ll drop a link here in case you’re interested:

Thank you once again to everyone who joined in for last week’s [Weekly Witchy Challenge - Grounding & Centering tree_of_life](https://forum.spells8.com/t/weekly-witchy-challenge-grounding-centering/37136) After spending some time becoming composed and connected, it’s time to tap into the energy of the season and explore an important aspect of the world and ourselves.
