The Earth our Mother, who holds and sustains us all, is in a state of delicate balance. A lot of current research now points to the fact that if humanity does not take action, now, then the tipping point may already be upon us, and the decline of our beloved home will be irreversible. This is a matter of great concern to Druids, and of course to lots of people who care for the Earth and want to do something about protecting her from further harm.
Much of this action can be taken on an exoteric level – and I applaud the work of organisations such as Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth, the organic movement and other environmental activists who work in a very real and tangible way. To me, it is also important to seek the healing on an esoteric level, creating love and healing energy through meditation and ritual. When this is combined with campaigning to bring the message of hope to the public consciousness, it has to be something worth supporting. I will soon be attending a ceremony for the World Drum on its journey through the British sacred landscape. If you feel so called, details of ceremonies can be found through the website here.
Here is an extract from the website which tells a little more:
Our aim is to bring attention to the critical situation for Mother Earth –
The web of life is coming undone and will bring catastrophic consequences.
A challenge
We would like to call for all environmental organisations, groups and people who want a better world, to cooperate and unite their force.
Participation in ceremonies
The thought behind the project is that the participant brings attention to the critical situation for Mother Earth.
To make it work we must try to reach the press, hand out flyers, have the ceremony in public places.
We are striving to keep the drum in motion – riding on a wave of force.
This includes a strategic and further view than just until the next ceremony.
We will weave a thread throughout the world, which will bind us together in dynamic cooperation for a better world.
Please, I ask each and every one of you around the world, take each other’s hands, lift them high and make a prayer for our continuing existence while The World Drum sings her song and we feel her heartbeat. It is the heartbeat of Mother Earth. It is our heartbeat from each and every one all over the world. It is the heartbeat of life itself.
