Are Neopagan Druid Groups Cults?
Not hardly. The only dogma promulgated by any group so far has been the Doctrine of Archdruidic Fallibility, requiring the members of A.D.F. to accept that their Archdruid makes mistakes not a problem with their first one (myself). Members of Neopagan Druid groups are encouraged to (politely) argue with their leadership, to form their own opinions and special interest groups, and to communicate as much as possible with both insiders and outsiders. People without a sense of humor and proportion are discouraged from seeking leadership positions. Nepotism is discouraged, financial records are open, everyone is accountable to everyone else, and the leadership generally winds up poorer, not richer, than the average member. So what more do you want? You might find it interesting to score the Neopagan Druid movements with my Cult Danger Evaluation Frame.
