Druidry is a spiritual path that is close to nature and the Earth, usually depicted as the Mother Goddess. It can (simplistically) be split into two camps. There are those which treat Druidry as a religion, and those that don't, but instead use it as a way of life. ADF (Ár nDraíocht Féin) is an example of a group for whom Druidry is a religion, with a congregation and priest/ess. They state that ADF is a national religious organisation devoted to creating a public tradition of Neo-Pagan Druidism. OBOD (Order of Bards, Ovates & Druids) take the other idea. One proponent states: "Our practice of Druidry is not a Religion, but a way of life in relationship with the Earth, our Mother. It is compatible with all willing religions, and welcomes people of many faiths." Although most Druid groups are open to members of other faiths, they are predominantly pagan.
