So you seek to be aligned with one of the four natural elements? You will need to give careful consideration as to which element you wish to be aligned with, as it cannot be changed. And so, the first thing you must decide is which element it is that you follow.
Are you steadfast and grounded like the Earth?
Are you passionate and full of life like Fire?
Perhaps you have many facets ranging from soft and flowing to harsh and gusty like the Air?
Or are you like Water, flowing gently, finding a way around any obstructions?
You will know the answer to this within yourself. It is something that only -you- may know. If you seek more information about the elements, see the entry in the Tomes of the Earth.
Once you have recognised the element that you are destined to follow, you need to contact a Druid Mystic or an aligned Druid Walker. Send a letter to or speak with the Mystic or Walker detailing your choice of element. Your trials will be the same whether you approach a Mystic or a Walker, but if you directly approach a Walker you are more likely to be able to complete the trials sooner.
In the process of your alignment, you will be given a few small tasks to complete, all of which will bring you closer to your chosen element. You will be asked to sacrifice an item (one of your choosing - it need not be expensive, rather it ought to be symbolic) and also a Trigram Key representing your chosen element. We tell you this now so that you are aware of and prepared for this.
The Druid path provides this as a service to the community, not as a right. Please be respectful during this process or you may find yourself turned down.
