Bandarach Council of Druids
Web site: http://www.bandarach.org The Bandarach Council of Druids is an order of Celtic Druids serving the Celtic community. We provide counseling and education, and preside over religious services. We do not worship Satan, install or remove hexes, sacrifice people or animals, or summon up demons. We are priests and priestesses of the old Celtic gods and goddesses - and yes, that makes us pagans. The Council was founded in 1980 as a loosely organized group of solitary druids in Europe. The Council remains very informal, and has never met, face to face, as a body. Previously, all discussions were conducted by mail, and more recently by email or chat. The Council consists of nine druids, and there are three offices held. Membership on the council is for life, unless an incumbent decides to step down or is removed by the council. The Chief Druid, Jack Simpson, was elected by the founding druids. The Chief Druid administers the Council and serves as the head of the College. The acting Chief Bard is Carol Bouchier. She advises the Council in bardic matters and oversees the training of bards. The Chief Seer, Rayner Kelly, was appointed by the Chief Druid in 1999. He advises the council on matters of divination and ritual, and oversees the training of seers. Druids of all orders are welcome to join us. We charge no fees, and all of our courses are free. If you are interested in filling a vacancy on the Council, please forward your resume to the Chief Druid. Membership on the council involves mentoring students, evaluating student papers, regular attendance at monthly council meetings (online), other duties as required, and no pay. From Jack Simpson, Chief Druid of the order. Used with permission. |
