Default Any and all questions about Druidry and/or vegetarianism/veganism.
If anyone has any questions at all about Druidy and/or vegetarianism/veganism, please ask here. I would really love to get some replies so please post. Also I would like to set some ground-rules, that I hope the mods will enforce :

1. There will be no religion bashing here. No derogatory statements towards any religion at all.

2. No insulting personal choices.

3. No saying things like *waves meat in front of Druidus' face*, or *waves tofu in front of meat eaters face*. Please don't as this is very inulting.

4. Generally, just be nice. I would very much appreciate that. Try not to hurt others feelings.

Thank you!

ok, this one is more of a logistics question... but, here it goes.

Living in Nunavut (yeah Nunavut by the way!), so close to the Acrtic circle (or are you on it? just curious) how do you as a vegitarian deal with the long winters and the short growing season? Do you grow any of you own food and if so how much?

Thanks for any help on these questions

I believe we are within the arctic circle. We get our fruits and vegetables flown up, although I do collect raspberries, blueberries and other small berries in the summer. I have grown tomatoes and watermelon. Home-grown food is not a significant portion of my diet, as it's hard to grow anything up here.

What if such shipments stoped for some reason? Would you include meat into your diet or would you move to a more temperate environment?

Just curious...

I've never been in a hypothetical situation, but I'll try to answer.

First of all, they wouldn't stop. It is impossible to live on only meat, you would die. The government would keep the shipments running.

Secondly, I would move on. My motto is "Let no one die, so that I may eat.", so I would not even consider eating meat.

Druidus,i'm currently researching Druidry in order to become a practising druid and perhaps join a "grove" is it? I am also vegan and would like to know if gatherings at imbolc etc. would take this into account, for example, i have heard certain foods are meant to be eaten such as food from seeds at imbolc,but also lamb and pork at this time. Would a grove allow me to eat only vegan foods or would i be forbidden from joining because of this?
Do druids believe that being vegan promotes a closer relationship to Awen and how do they see their meat eating as being in-keeping with druidry since druids respect the animals as much as the forest?
Could you give me a list of druidic rituals so that i can be sure that my veganism is in-keeping wth druidry?

I haven't seen Dru in awhile, but I can answer the question.

In Druidism, for an apprentice, eating only vegetables is mandated by some paths. And even after you've reached higher levels, it's still generally a good thing to eat very little meat. Some traditions explain it as the "you are what you eat" phrase. You eat the plants, and you grow. Eat the animals, and you become one.

While I'm the kind of guy that would punch a cow to death and eat it on the spot (if that were more socially acceptable, I can certainly understand the vegetarian diet. However, veganism has always confused me. Why not eat things like Cheese, Milk, and eggs? As far as I know the cow doesn't die when you milk it.



Also, about Druidry. Is it based on old reconstructions (like Asatru or various other forms of Paganism) or is it more of a blend of old and new (more like Wicca)?

EDIT: Somewhat unrelated, but is there some correlation between Metalheads and Paganism? I say yes.

EDITEDIT: Whoa! I remember you dude! Welcome back.
