Scope

 

The Celtic Druid Alliance is the International Alliance where Druidic Assemblies professing a Celtic Spirituality that is a worthy reflection of the Primordial Tradition converge. That is to say, that they are open to an engaging and respectful dialogue through the diverse Expressions of the Druidic Tradition regarding culture, identity, instituted practices and the observance of the fundamental principles of the Tradition (details below).

​

The Alliance Council is composed of Dignitary Priests from a number of countries and expressions representing conforming groups, and who have been signatories of the Charter of Principles, having at that time received the respective seal of recognition for the right of regular membership of the Celtic Druid Alliance.
