Over the past two years, I have been reading and seeking, trying to determine how my spiritual life needed to evolve and knew that I needed something with shamanistic roots and close to my ancestry (my ancestry is a mix of Irish, Welsh and Latvian). I vaguely knew about druidry but had never explored it. An Internet search led me to OBOD and AODA and well, here I am. Currently at the Bardic Grade with OBOD and my Candidate application is pending with AODA.
