This blog post will be full of questions and suggestions. I hope you would like to respond to these so thank you in advance. First of all what do we mean by spirituality? There are several definitions on Google so here are two of them;
‘the quality of being concerned with the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things.’
‘Spirituality involves the recognition of a feeling or sense or belief that there is something greater than myself, something more to being human than sensory experience, and that the greater whole of which we are part is cosmic or divine in nature.’
As a druid I recognise that there is something out there larger than me and the rest of the world. It might be a god, or goddess, or just a great spirit. I am also very connected to the natural world and know that all is connected in one way or another. That is for me a way of life too.
So what is a spiritual person? Again let’s look at a definition from Google;
‘Being a spiritual person is synonymous with being a person whose highest priority is to be loving to yourself and others. A spiritual person cares about people, animals and the planet. … There are many people who do not practice a religion, who do not meditate, pray or belong to any group, who are very spiritual people.’
So how do people who read the tarot and oracle cards fit in with this definition and what about healing of any kind, how does that fit in? I can look at lots of things that people who are spiritual do like, yoga, meditation, drumming, chanting etc. Are these things spiritual in themselves or does it depend how you do them?
For me yoga is exercise rather than a spiritual practice but it is different for others I do know. Meditation is a spiritual practice for me though as is drumming. I like to drum with a purpose in mind, for healing or journeying or chanting but not otherwise. I could go on for a lot longer but I will stop here and hope that I get some responses to tell me how you think about spirituality and what a spiritual person is like.
Walking the Druid Path 
Hi Gladys…that’s an interesting question and I think that I would like to add these reflections. There is often confusion in peoples’ minds between faith, religion and spirituality; the words are often used interchangeably but they are different. Faith really is about putting your trust in something or someone. Religion is a kind of framework or pegs that we use to attach our beliefs, hoes and dreams to. Spirituality is neither of these I would say…spirituality is to do with our sense of connection to that which is other than ourselves; such a connection may be with a person, a tree, a rock, water or sea, or it may be with something/someone otherworldly. The key to understanding spirituality lies in the exploration of these connections.
