The Druid Network (TDN)

An international organization, TDN aims to be a source of inspiration and information about the Druid tradition, ancient and modern. Definitively not an Order itself, TDN brings together Orders, Groves and individuals, offering a forum for sharing skills and teachings, inspiration and experience, supporting environmental and community projects, providing information about courses and sponsoring learning opportunities, creating camps and public rituals, encouraging the creative active expression of living Druidry in its many forms. The magical heart of the Network is the Druid Order of the Yew.

The Order of Bards Ovates & Druids

The Order of Bards Ovates & Druids is a spiritual group dedicated to practising, teaching, and developing Druidry as a valuable and inspiring spirituality.

Membership of the Order is open to followers of all faiths and none, regardless of gender, sexual orientation or ethnic origin, and there are currently over eight thousand members in fifty countries.

Both the Feminine and the Masculine principles are celebrated and represented in the Order's teachings and membership. The Order is not patriarchal or biased in favour of men - many women are in leadership roles and over half the membership is female.

Although most members practise Druidry on their own, there are over ninety groups around the world that offer the opportunity for members to meet and celebrate together. In addition individual members and groups organise gatherings, retreats, conferences and workshops.

For the last twenty years the Order has been offering a comprehensive training in Druidry which covers all three grades of Bard, Ovate and Druid.

The Pagan Network

Pagan Network is an organisation set up to promote the acceptance and tolerance of Paganism as a faith system within the UK, and to provide a safe and informative social network both on- and off-line for Pagans in the UK. As part of our social networking aim, we run social moots on a regular basis across the country, as well as occasional national events including Sabbat Parties, conventions and open rituals. All our events are open to Pagans of all ages (except those held in licensed premises), experience levels and paths, and we do our best to ensure newcomers feel welcome and comfortable.The website provides a regularly updated news service and listings sections, and a very active online forum where dozens of members from across the country talk on a huge number of topics. Anyone can join our forums for free.

Pentacle Media

Pentacle Media (PM) grew from the UK's best selling independent magazine and has become a strong community on-line and in the real word for pagans of all religious traditions. PM regularly organises event such as spring, summer and autumn camps held in the pagan owned Ravenswood and organises the annual Lammas picnic in north London (currently the longest running event of it's kind in London). We have in the past supported numerous pagan events by supplying volunteers to assist in their smooth running and helping with advertising. We strive support those events, organisations and institutions whose aim is to work towards the betterment of the contemporary community.

Police Pagan Association

Police Pagan Association is a national organisation supporting Pagan police officers and staff. Working together, we aim to improve the relationship between the Pagan community and the police.

When it became apparent that Pagans working in Hertfordshire and the Metropolitan police services were pressing for parity with other faith-based associations, it seemed sensible to join forces, and work towards a national association. Humberside police are now part of the PPA and represented on the executive committee.

We will work in fellowship with all forces to support Pagan personnel, and raise awareness of Pagan issues. The association has submitted its constitution, and terms of membership to the Home Office, and we expect their endorsement by Yule.
