Performing a ritual as a modern Druid doesn’t have to be elaborate. It starts with a breath and a simple choice to be present. 

1. Set your intention
Take a moment to ask yourself: What do I need right now?
Calm, grounding, focus, release… name it quietly or out loud.

2. Prepare your space
No fancy tools needed. A candle, a cup of tea, a stone from outside, or just your own body and breath are enough. Just be sure to turn off distractions, soften your shoulders, and arrive.

3. Begin with a breath
Take three slow, steady breaths. On each exhale, imagine tension leaving your body. When you feel ready, move into the ritual you’ve chosen and let it unfold at its own pace.

There is no “wrong” way to do this… only your way. Start small, stay honest, and let the practice grow with you. It may feel silly at first, but that will pass.
