		<description>Hi,  I wanted to thank you for this article and this wonderful website.  I&#039;m planning on following a Druidic path, but was held up by my fear of evil spirits or demons.  I found this article on fear after searching for how Druids deal with or believe in evil.  I can honestly say it seems evil spirits really affect those who believe in it.  I will respect evil spirits if they are out there, and I will certainly not go seeking them.

So for the fear part.  I&#039;ve felt fear for a few days because I wanted to really want to follow this path, but I feared running into something completely evil.  I spoke with my freinds about it and it comes down to one&#039;s view on life and the world.  Then on speaking to my father his advise is who would you call if you have an evil spirit show up?  Simple answer Catholic Priest.  That&#039;s why he believes what he believes because Catholism has a way of dealing with inherint evil.

I know what my father is saying, but I cannot live my life in fear.  I feel that Druidism with a concentration on Irish deisism is the perfect fit for me.  When I think about fear I think about the movie &quot;Strictly Ballroom&quot; when the protagonist&#039;s father says he never really lived, &quot;Because I lived my life in fear.&quot;  (I&#039;m not reflecting on my father&#039;s personal beliefs here.)  But I cannot go on living the next 30-50 yrs of in of a Chrisitan God who would stick me in some underground roasting pit.  I&#039;ll believe what I want to believe and grow from it.  Because I know the good gods above and below are out there and they may have their dark side and I may not understand them all the time.  But it is going to have fun finding out!</description>
