Neopagan Druidism is political because only a Nature worshipping religion can give people sufficient concern for the environment to make them willing to make the sacrifices that must be made in terms of lifestyle and consumption patterns. Monotheism is a major cause of the current state of the world's ecology. Neopagan Druidism is political because the Druids have always been the preservers of the best of their traditional cultures. The Mesopagan Druids of Brittany and Wales, for example, are directly responsible for the revival of the Cornish language and tradition from the very edge of extinction. The various traditional preservation and independence movements, such as the Celtic, Flemish, Baltic and other related movements in Europe, need religious and cultural leadership based in their own cultures.
Druidism can help create an environment in which such leadership can develop.
Neopagan Druidism is political because it offers a worldview completely different from that of the monotheistic tyrannies that now control our planet. One of the many things that any religion does is to shape the ways in which people see the world around them. Neopagan Druidism is political, at the bedrock level, because it can teach people how to use their Gods-given psychic and other talents to change the way things are. Make no mistake, magic works, at least as often as poetry, music or political rallies do. If we are unwilling to use magic, then we had might as well resign ourselves and our descendents to either a life of slavery in a homogenized, pasteurized world, or a slow and lingering death by environmental collapse.
