    In this episode, we recover an interview with Philip Carr-Gomm, who dives into the rich history and modern resurgence of Druidry in Western Europe, tracing its evolution from ancient roots in Ireland, the British Isles, and Brittany to its vibrant revival today. Philip explains the threefold path of contemporary Druidry—bardic storytelling, ovate healing, and druidic ritual—and how these practices connect deeply with the cycles of the moon, the sun, and the seasons. Through myths like the tale of Ceridwen and Taliesin, we uncover themes of transformation, creativity, and spiritual rebirth.
