Is Druidry Indigenous? The Politics of Pagan Indigeneity Discourse

Suzanne Owen

Issued Date: 23 Oct 2019

Abstract

This article asks if “indigenous,” associated as it is with “colonized peoples,” is being employed strategically by Druids in Britain to support cultural or political aims. Prominent Druids make various claims to indigeneity, presenting Druidry as the pre-Christian religion of the British Isles and emphasizing that it originated there. By “religion” it also assumes Druidry was a culture equal to if not superior to Christianity—similar to views of antiquarians in earlier centuries who idealized a pre-Christian British culture as equal to that of ancient Greece. Although British Druids refute the nationalist tag, and make efforts to root out those tendencies, it can be argued that it is a love of the land rather than the country per se that drives indigeneity discourses in British Druidry.

' some worlds have been destroyed or irreversably altered - after all, think of the primeval rainforests and all bioregions which no longer exist. the scottish gaidhlig word cianalas speaks to this concept, as does the welsh word hiraeth (in its own other way). the two can be loosely translated as a sense of longing for, or belonging to a place that no longer exists as it once did. cianalas is often attributed to the sense of longing for a home no longer accessible felt by hebridean gaels following their forced removal from their homelands during the highland clearances. some worlds only exist in memory, in the past, or in death - and none of those worlds are particularly easy to go to or come back from as folklore shows.

' Scáthach was commonly known as Scota, progenitor of the Scots and probably a good bit of the Irish. She was born Ankhesenamun Tasherit, hereditary princess of Egypt. Her successful escape from the clutches of the Egyptian priesthood, and her success at evading the assassins sent to kill her, is the source of legends. She did not have a sister but rather a famous cousin Meritaten Tasherit, also hereditary princess, which was a royal title meaning matrilineally descended from the primordial queen of Egypt. Meritaten also escaped the Priesthood to become Miriam, the founding matron of the Jews. Her ‘brother’ was Thutmosis V aka Moses. '

John Macdonald was driving at night through rural Scotland when suddenly, he says, an amazing circular bright object appeared in the sky.

Macdonald, 65, estimated the object -- displaying several rows of brilliant lights -- was less than 100 yards from him, hovered for a few minutes, and then vanished near his Perthshire home around 11 p.m. on Feb. 28.

"I don't know whether I frightened it or not with the flash of the camera, because in the beat of a heart, it was gone," Macdonald told The Courier last week.
