It was long in coming, but it's finally here: the brand new website of the New Order of Druids!
As you will notice, the website has been given a complete new design. The top menu covers all important areas of the website, and by hovering over them you will also see the related sub-menus on which you can click. Of course, there will be more menus and submenus when you are logged in on the website.
Here's an overview of what's new:
1. Brand new "activity wall" (now called "newsfeed") with features similar to those of Facebook.
2. A new design for your user profile
3. Improved private messenger and enhanced chat bar
4. A brand new "Friends Map" which allows zooming and connection lines between you and your friends.
5. Circle Forums have been rearranged. It is now also possible to "like" or "dislike" a topic on the forums.
6. Brand new Grove of Dana online Druid college (see below)
7. Nemetons Map: search on the map for a Nemeton near you
8. Enhanced NOD Circles with attached forum
9. Newly implemented NODCast - the NOD Podcast
A note on the new Grove of Dana online Druid College:
We have started using new software for handling our College courses. When you go to "Druid College" and "Getting Started", you will find a step-by-step tutorial to get you going on how to start following a course.
If you are already taking a course, you don't need to do anything different. Upgraded Members who are following a course with mentor on our old College software, can continue doing so until they have completed the course. They can go directly to the old College using this link: http://college.druidcircle.org/moodle/ (link also at the bottom of the "My Courses" page). If you only just started a course there though, we recommend that you re-enrol to start at the new college software.
Right now we are still in the process of setting up our mentors in the new college software, and copying over the last of the courses. This should all be completed in the next few days. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
If you have any questions, or you have run into what could be an overlooked bug on the website, do not hesitate to let us know.

Welcome to the New Order of Druids!
Welcome to the New Order of Druids, where the Ancient Wisdom of the Druids meets the new world of today, for the age of Druids and magic are not our past, they can be our future... So who and what are we?
The New Order of Druids is intended to unite people with the same interest: wisdom and insight. We believe that wisdom is priceless, and therefore, joining our Circle and College is and always will be free. As long as one's intentions are positive, it does not matter which age, gender, nationality or religion one has to enter the Circle. We are not any kind of cult, but a growing Circle of people with similar and different beliefs, uniting together. To read more about us, CLICK HERE.

We are happy to announce that the Druid Youth Course is now also available in Dutch. This course follows the Bardic Youth Course and Ovate Youth Course, which have already been available in Dutch. Students need to have completed these two courses before they can enrol into the Druid Youth Course. At this moment, the Dutch Druid Youth Course does not have a mentor available yet, as there are no graduates of the Dutch Ovate Youth Course at this point. However, the course book can already be purchased from our online bookstore at this link: With thanks to Ben (Ontwaken) for the Dutch translations. Vacation

Thursday, 18 February 2021
We are happy to announce that we have launched a new self-study Meditation Course. The course does not come with mentoring, but is free for all members of NOD. Its main purpose is to help students of other courses with their meditation practice, but you can also take this course if you're not enrolled in any other courses. The Meditations Course is a practical journaling course involving meditations and visualisations which are intended to demonstrate your own personal growth in this aspect of personal practice. The course provides 39 meditations and journaling exercises to be performed over a period of 13 months. By keeping a journal you will be able to look back on your entries and see the progress you make and this will aid in your future development. You can find the Meditation Course here: https://www.druidcircle.org/moodle/course/view.php?id=24
