Naming Traditions

Family names

Though the first names of those that join are the ones chosen by the individuals; the middle names are in reference to either a location, animal, or spirit that helped guide the fledgling druid towards their journey within dreams.

Other names

Last names are an artifact of the Druids' lives before joining the circle. They are used mainly within the bounds of society, however among their own kind the druids will usually refer to a specific druid by their first name and some epithet for their awakening moment.

Culture

Common Dress code

Majority of the dress code of the druids is left to the individual. The biggest requirements of matching attire is for each druid to have a memento from the leader of the circle for the moment the individual druid joined the circle in their own rite.

Foods & Cuisine

Meals are a large gathering and familial celebration. Some of the meals may be made by the few for the group, where some are a true potluck. The biggest agreement is how much food can they get for as little money as they can.

Common Customs, traditions and rituals

Druids from this circle will usually have staves that have various decorations reflecting on the spirits & minds that they've helped across their journeys. An experienced Circle of Dreams Druids will have a large variety of gems, jewels, patches, trinkets, metal bits, and other miscealaneous things that each represent a story and the person that was helped in that journey. Druids that have travelled extensively or those that like large signifiers may find themselves decoration their clothes, bodies, personal effects, and additional staves as necessary to full express themselves.
