 The Waiting
 To find a secret, hidden and safe spot surrounded by life itself,
 this is referred to as a waiting.
 All druids should create there own spot that is unknown to all outsiders
 A waiting should be developed overtime with more life, increasing this
 would improve the effectiveness.
 Some rituals need a Waiting for them to provide protections.
 Druids often create patterns as they are thought to please the forest.

 The Stone
 The stone refers to a gathering place of druids, offerings are made
 as the stone is a conduit to the forest.
 The stone is often a natural or manmade slab of stone
 Stone pillars can be constructed around the slab for connection

 The Life Force
 The surrounding auras that are created by the forests and grasses.
 There are many ways to express the forces of life but they all
 relate to the connection to nature.
 There must be a balance of forces, there is no good or evil
 however there may be too much force or too little.
 The forests must undergo constant change, sacrifices can allow for
 old forced become new through a rebirth of life.

Rituals

 Blood Sacrifice
 Blood Sacrifice can feed the force of nature, different offerings
 will grant different promises and protections.
 The offerings are to be lied out at The Stone with live host before
 the sacrifice.
 The sacrificial focus must be harvested and reused.
 Naturalistic offerings such as flowers and other plants are often
 replanted around the sacrificial site to maintain balance in the forest.
 Connection to nature is closer when consciousness is weaker.

 Burning of the Wood
 Burning of the wood allows for new life to form, collection
 of wood waste is returned to a darkened area and the light will
 shine on the new life.

 Revival of life
 Spread of seed and root.
 Often after the Burning of the Wood one must plant
 new life to heal the forest.
 Fallen housing can be reclaimed by the forest as long as it is vacant

 The Extension
 The extension is an internal ritual, purification of the life within their self.
 One must hide themselves in their Waiting until a self reflection is complete.
 The extension is complete once the forest presents itself to them.

 The Influence
 Before a conflict, druids often prepare themselves with a bowl of mushroom soup
 Integrating the force into the soup can connect a Druid with nature.
 Although Druids are often against conflicts, imbuing themselves with life
 force of the forest can align them with the intentions of the forest.
 The influence is the most common way of aligning a druid
 Flowers and their properties can be be used to issue there effects.
