Most people spend their lives cocooned within themselves, with a never ending litany of words going on in their minds to the point where they lose sense of the world around them. This can create feelings of isolation, yet it is mostly self-imprisonment. This course is designed to bring you awareness of the world around you by simply re-learning how to use the senses and how to listen to the messages they bring. Each student is assigned a mentor to help guide you through your studies in this course.
The purpose of this Course is to provide an introduction to the Ovates’ arts and skills. It involves studies in meditation and energy exercises, the Celtic year and its application to practice, sacred space and ritual, using the Bardic arts of story-telling for the purpose of transmitting healing wisdom, the Ovate arts of divination and lore, and the study of aspects of the Druidic world-view for the purpose of healing our world. Each student is assigned a mentor to help guide you through your studies in this course.

Celtic polytheism, sometimes known as Celtic paganism, refers to the religious beliefs and practices of the ancient Celtic peoples of Western Europe prior to Christianization. Religious beliefs and practices of the Celts varied throughout the different Celtic lands, which included Ireland, Great Britain, Celtiberia, Gaul, areas along the Danube river, and Galatia; however there were commonalities shared by all. In this self-study course, you will study Celtic history, mythology, philosophy, environmental studies, and art.
The Nemeton Course is available to (aspirant) Nemeton Leaders.
