Cearcall a Leanachd

Draoí

I am a strong wild boar,

I am a salmon in the water

I am the lake in the plain

I am the word of knowledge

I am the head of the spear in battle

I am the Goddess and I am the God that puts fire in the head


The circle of the Draoí or Crearcall a’ Leannanachd. These are the people that bring the circles together in ritual and also lead. They were a silver cord for woman and gold for men. Sean Ciall Draoí are not "spiritual leaders" or "spiritual teachers" in any sense of that, for we consider the notion of  individual teaching another individual how best to attune themselves to their own divinity to be preposterous.

The requirements for initiation into the Fourth Circle are rigorous, but as with the other Circles one may well study and work with a given Circle without initiating. In order to initiate into the Fourth Circle one must first be an initiate of  the other three Circles, and have spent no less than a year's study in each of the other two. The duties of the  Draoí in Sean Ciall are ceremonial and mystical (as opposed to magickal); the Draoí of Sean Ciall are also expected to train and perform as healers, Councilors, as well as Ceremonial duties. The ceremonial duties of the Fourth Circle include coordinating and directing the rituals of the Fire Festivals and other religious celebrations, weddings, funerals, rites of passage and initiations for each of the Circles. Mysticism, especially the inner path workings and ultimately the sacred union of the self and the divine, is the special sphere of work of the Draoí of this line. Healing, in all and any of its forms, is also integral to the path of the  Draoí, and is the only aspect of this path for which the  Draoí may accept money or other compensation for their Craft; as such, those who chose to integrate their professional lives and their spirituality would likely be physicians, acupuncturists or some such.


They also wear The Torc Silver for both Men and Woman.
