Circle of the Shepherd

Druids of the Circle of th e Shepherd commune
with the spirits of nature, especially the spirits
of beasts and the fey, and call to those s p irits for
aid. These druids recognize tha t all living things
play a role in the natura l world, yet t hey foc us on
protecting anima ls and fey creatures that have
diffic ulty d e fending the mselves. S hepherds, as they are
