  • The Old Faith is the religion followed by Druids and Druidic Priests. Its origins are shrouded in the mists of prehistory and it is considerably older than the present-day Old World pantheon. The Old Faith revolves around nature and natural forces and it has strong associations with many ancient sites, such as barrows and stone circles, whose significance has long been forgotten by others. There is no major deity or pantheon ruling the Old Faith. Although its devotees do sometimes talk of a goddess whom they call The Mother, who symbolises the earth and the fertility of nature, they generally concern themselves with the forces of nature on a smaller scale, dealing with the energies which flow within the natural world; the concept of The Mother seems not to be a deity in a conventional sense, but an abstraction of the natural world and the energies used by the Druids.
