Faye Boyd and Kevin Howard are Druids with the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids.

Druidry as a spiritual way and practice that speaks to three of our greatest yearnings: to be fully creative in our lives, to commune deeply with the world of Nature, and to gain access to a source of profound wisdom. Each of these yearnings comes from a different aspect of ourselves that we can personify as the Singer, the Shaman and the Sage.

In Druidry, Bardic teachings help to nurture the singer, the artist or storyteller within us: the creative self.

Long ago  Celtic storytellers were very important people in the community; they had the task of preserving history in their stories. Like the Native Americans, the Celts had an oral culture and an elaborate mythology. Storytellers trained for years to become masters of their craft and they committed their knowledge and skill to memory. These stories were recited aloud and provided great entertainment for the people.

They have been walking this path for 17 years and hope to bring you some enjoyment of the Celtic Ways with Story Telling and music.

These two are enthusiastic about bringing the old ways to life and show how they are connected with today’s world.

Come on out and join in some of the old ways!

Kevin is a professional musician and he has  put together some music, odes, and a story about Lugh.

They will work together to bring to life some of the old Celtic myths.
