Firrinnian Druidry is a form of Druidry that I have discovered. It's not amazing, and it's not really worth your time. But it is imperative for me to focus my thoughts at this moment.
First of all, what does the "Firrinnian" bit mean? Well, it comes form the two Gaelic (different Gaelics, however) roots "Firinn" and "Firrin". Both of these mean "truth", "reality" or, simply, "what is".
Firrinnian Druidry, therefore, is a form of Druidry dedicated to Firinn/Firrin. I cannot stress the importance of Firrinn (my preferred use of the words Firinn and Firrin involves are merging of both to create Firrinn) to the Firrinnian Druid.
There is only one Firrinnian Druid, however, and that is me. So far, at least. Anyone willing to bear such a mantle is welcome, but do not take it up lightly. It does not matter that we lack in number; Firrinn is still our/my quest.
What types of Firrinn are there? Scientific, historical, personal, and collective (an extension of personal) truths exist, and these truths are mirrored in Firrinn. It is the guiding principal of the Firrinnian Druid to search for these aspects of Firrinn. If a Firrinnian Druid fails to recognize Firrinn clearly, he or she is not worthy of the title "Firrinnian Druid", and does not deserve to bear any such title. It is both crucial and exigent that Firrinn is sought with extreme diligance.
Many of you will not believe or understand what I believe right now. However, I must say it anyway. I believe (I cannot state it as fact; that would be contrary to the principles of Firrinn) that Oghma (or something like him) has granted me a "vision". I felt his presence, though it was an impersonal presence. This is Firrinn of a personal nature. I have no proof for this and cannot ask for any sort of validification. All I can say is that I know I have seen true Firrinn. I have been there. And I am going back.
Soon I will learn more. My teacher/s (I got a feeling of an immense collective, not a single identity. But I cannot be sure) has/have many more lessons for me.
I post this not in a search for communal/personal validation, but so that my personal Firrinn may be documented in a source other than my own computer. Firrinn must be preserved.
One Triad above all others:
Tri coilionn a soilshaghey gagh dorchadas: Aithne, Nàdur, Firrinn
Three candles that illuminate every darkness: Knowledge, Nature, Truth
