Welcome Home!
Welcome to the home of the Green Mountain Druid School and Order!
The Green Mountain Druid School is three-year program focused around earth-centered, shamanic Druid practices. Founded by Ivan McBeth and Fern Lickfield nineteen years ago, the school has helped countless people come back to right relationship with the Earth and the return to the magical center of their being. See Below for a description of the year-by-year grades.
The Green Mountain Druid Order is a community of people that was born out of the students of the Druid School to continue to be connected and celebrate the traditional Celtic festivals (the Equinoxes, the Solstices, and the Cross Quarter festivals). It is through this organization that we also connect with other Druid organizations that make up the diverse web of Druidry throughout the world.
The Green Mountain Druid School
Year 1- Bard
During this first year of training, you learn how to tap into the Magical Child within yourself. It in a year of joy and awe, but also deep emotions. Here we also build on our Bardic arts and learn about music, storytelling, dance, and poetry.
Year 2- Ovate
This year we move into the deep center of our being and explore our own inner dark forest. Here we learn about gathering and protecting our own internal energy and work with our personal Hunter. During our joureywork, we learn to embrace our power and discover how to weild it properly. We also explore the arts of divination and spellwork.
Year 3- Druid
Finally, the Druid year is where all our work previously together comes together into a cohesive whole. Now, we learn how to be good leaders; for ourselves, our families, our communities, and our world. Here we learn about teaching and mentorship all with an eye toward serving the Earth that is our Mother. Being entirely in our power, how can we best serve to evolution of our planet and those that live within it.
