"No evidence exists either for druids in Utah in the historical record. I worked for five years in the University of Utah Special Collections Print and Journal Division archiving Pagan history in the American West in the vertical files. When I started, only one or two flyers were among the “Religions Utah 2004-Present” folder. The flyers were for a ceremony and a men’s group. I spent five years scooping up all the content I could get on the community so that at least for 2010-2015 there would be a diverse collection. I included all kinds of publications, but druid documents were few in number compared to the rest of the items that were non-druid. This tends to be a problem overall in the Pagan community, forgetting to save our history and preserving our heritage in the historical record because we have “secret traditions”. Those traditions die off once we do and are not safe just because we give our items to our grove or friends. They really belong in an archive at a public institution where they are preserved indefinitely, cared for, and can be accessed. To read more on this issue or on how to create Pagan archives, please see the article “Saving Our History: How to Create Pagan Archives” published in Trilithon Vol 3 by AODA, Midsummer 2016." --Daniel Cureton Excerpted from essay "The Utah Druid Community: A History Perspective," forthcoming in Vol 2.
"Nature is a sacred text, an ancient living being full of living wisdom The trees are books of timeless knowledge and healing The flowers are poems of love to the universe The animals walk in divine grace and presence The humans awaken to innocence and become conduits of divine mind The gardens are sublime cathedrals of resplendent beauty The forests are great libraries of ancient wisdom" --Edward Durand Excerpted from the poem "The Living Library of Life," forthcoming in Vol 2
