When I first read his books it was a bit like discovering that there was actually a very sane (and very cogent) person among us who was willing to hold up his hand and say 'enough!'<br /><br />As far as Druidry goes, my guess is that we will see a lot more people following its path in the near future as the current religion of scientific materialism falls apart at the seams. Let's face it, the other religions we have aren't all that useful in the light of the problems we face. A belief system that puts the web of life at its centre - rather than us - makes perfect sense to me.<br /><br />And in terms of the uphill struggle, I often ponder whether it is even worth trying to convince people who clearly don't want to be convinced. Wouldn't we just be better spending our precious time and energy preparing ourselves for the bumpy descent? I guess that's a question without an answer.<br />Cheers, JasonJason Heppenstallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17886109260870545074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5584699251999622098.post-46069574046971957772012-02-24T23:16:43.430+01:002012-02-24T23:16:43.430+01:00Hi Jason, a very clear, and may I say well-written...Hi Jason, a very clear, and may I say well-written article. I am also a huge fan of JMG to the extent of actually joining AODA and doing the daily prayer and meditation, solar observances, study and so on. I presume JMG's natural brilliance has been amplified by Druidry practice, so hey, it couldn't hurt and might do me some good.<br />It is indeed an uphill struggle to move the awareness of peak oil and climate change into the mainstream consciousness; it often seems as if humanity is in massive denial. <br />Best wishes for you various projects of disengagement, the little spot you have in Spain seems pretty sweet.<br />RobertSource_Dwellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16237451397175720049noreply@blogger.com
