I have been interested in Druidry for quite a while, and will probably be getting more involved in the future. So, I thought I would check and see if anyone else is or has been involved in this. It typically includes, but does not require, a belief in reincarnation, but this is not its emphasis. Overall, it tends to focus on re-engaging with the nature, especially from a spiritual standpoint, using the ancient Druids as a template.

"As far back as the 1st century BCE, Alexander Cornelius Polyhistor wrote that the Gauls [Celts] teach “that the souls of men are immortal, and that after a fixed number of years [possibly in the Otherworld or Summerland?], they will enter into another body.”

Julius Caesar wrote of the Celts in his ‘De Bello Gallico’ that “the principal point of their doctrine is that the soul does not die and that after death it passes from one body into another ... a firm belief in the indestructibility of the human soul, which, merely passes at death from one tenement to another; for by such doctrine alone, they say, which robs death of all its terrors, can the highest form of human courage be developed.”"
