This is a presentation on what constitutes living, breathing druidry– specifically today in 2023. This is not a history class, we will not be going over the history of druidry as we know it or how we know it. This is a chance to learn more about the foundations of a lesser-known but nonetheless mighty path of paganism and magic with bubbling troves of potential.
Awen is a deadlifting druid, witchy woman, and longtime ritualist who draws from a variety of skills to cultivate sacred space and primal magic.
Awen has taught classes on ritual creation online and in New York, led rituals with Raven’s Cry Grove on and off since age 17, and currently hosts invitation-only rituals in the San Fernando Valley while sharing ritual reflections about her private rituals & magic in the Iron Temple on her Patreon blog.
Awen has been practicing paganism since age 15, been a member of druidic organization Ar nDraiocht Fein since age 17, taken multiple classes on British Traditional Witchcraft with The Green Man, apprenticed under both a traditional witch and a Buddhist meditation teacher, and has studied druidry specifically in a non-academic context for nine years.
Awen doesn’t claim to be an initiated priestess in any formal Craft sense, but goes by @outlawpriestess on social media after earning the honorific in a different but related domain. She’s most active on Patreon, Instagram and- when she remembers- her podcast, Occulture Wars.
