| The Circle of the Ash Tree takes its name from the image of a burnt tree after a wildfire. They believe the world must be cleansed before it can be healed. Some see them as eco-terrorists while others believe them to be a necessary evil; surgically purging the tainted part of the world so that life may yet again flourish. | The Circle of the Ash Tree takes its name from the image of a burnt tree after a wildfire.

| The Circle of the New Age represents so-called “Neo-Druid” or “Hippy” teachings and is a co-opting of older traditions, blending them with modern tastes and more approachable cultural norms. They are informal, laid back, all about loving your fellow beings, and just being one with nature. In a way they represent the “humanoid” part of nature and how interactions are handled, a sort of bridge between the natural and the cosmopolitan. Some druids look down upon them as forgetting the old ways, but members of the Circle of the New Age feel they are fools for not seeing the path to the future. | The Circle of the New Age represents so-called “Neo-Druid” or “Hippy” teachings and is a co-opting of older traditions, blending them with modern tastes and more approachable cultural norms.
