The Gwyddonic Order

The Gwyddoniad is a Welsh-Celtic spiritual, philosophical and metaphysical Tradition. Our philosophical foundation is Oneness: "Everything is the One, and the One is the All", meaning that no-thing and no-one is more or less the One than any-thing or any-one else.

The Gods we worship are Irish, Gaelic, Welsh, and Teutonic. Worship is the love and rapport we establish with our Gods. Kerridwen the Great is our All Mother, and her consort Kernunnos [ker-nun-oas, or ker-noo-noas] is our All Father.

The College of the Blue Butterfly meets at the High Moons, New Moons and Great Days of the Sun. We also have weekly, online study discussions in our private club. We meet face-to-face as time and distance allow. During solar and lunar celebrations (rituals), we sometimes raise and send energy when warranted or requested, but not always. During the God Feast, which follows the rituals, we toast the Gods to show our love and respect for them; we discuss the Craft and Metaphysics for personal and group growth; we tell stories, sing songs, and compose poems for our (and our god family's) amusement and growth; and much, much more.

Our criteria for accepting Students (College members) are very simple. We ask that Seekers fill out a "membership petition". We ask for information such as a contact within the Pagan community, where we can ask questions to verify the Seeker's background, etc. We find out what books the Seeker has been reading and what he would like to read, what his goals are, why he is Seeking membership with us (particularly if he is a member of another group). We ask, also, how he defines "family" and how he views the Goddess and the God. We ask what he hopes to bring into the Tradition, and what he hopes to learn from us. There are other questions, as well, but that's the scope.
