“What does celebrating these festivals mean? Are we merely trying to revive customs that belong to a different era and could have been better forgotten? We modern Druids are deeply convinced that this is not the case. Just as Christmas and New Year’s Eve are essential to our psychological health, because they provide us with some basis for measuring the passage of our lives, so too does the recognition and celebration of the eight feasts of the Druids enable us to attune our personal rhythm to the rhythm of the cosmos and nature. Anyone who follows this schedule will discover that he will feel increasingly calm and that his insight into his place in this world and this life will continue to increase.”
