Nestled within the dense fir and oak woodlands resides Branos Carnutodrûidon (Raven of the Carnutes Druid). He embraces Stoicism, Alchemy, Mysticism, and Liminality, serving as a Priest of Awen and a Gaulish Druid Pagan dedicated to guiding the individual.A practicing Gaulish Mystic for over a decade, he created the website Gaulish Polytheism he co-founded with others the Touta, Bessus Nouiogalation (BNG) which he serves as a Delgaunos/keeper of the tradition. He is also the founder of Galatîs Litauiâs and Drunemeton serving as the Druið (One who Knows Drus) and Auetos, the Protector/Keeper of these organizations. He does not believe in one leader but rather many. Knowing that each person has something to offer the whole. He merely just keeps the hearth fire going for these traditions/organizations.Having delved into the realms of Druidry and the Senodruides (Ancient Druides) for over two decades, he is a Companion degree Grand Grove Druid of the Ancient Order of Druids in America (AODA) and administers their Discord server. He is the founder and caretaker of the AODA Gaulish Nemeton, Gaulish Hearth & Earth. Within this tradition, he is a Priest in the Gnostic Celtic Church and is also undergoing training with River Jones to become a Funeral Celebrant. Dedicating substantial time to studying Stoic literature, Alchemy, Ornithology, and diverse philosophies.Branos adopts a unique approach different from others as it is not that of Revival or Reconstructionism but rather that which he calls Reconectionism. He does not dismiss the others; it's just not his outcome. He is a reconstructionist in his research, a revivalist in his approach, and a reconnectionist in what he crafts. His primary focus spans the Paleolithic to the late Bronze age, exploring European history leading up to Gaul, emphasizing Old Europe before the PIE migration.True to his name, he symbolically aligns himself with the Raven of the Senodruides, observing their practices from above like a raven in the trees. His aim is to piece together fragments and mysteries, bringing the otherworldly aspects into contemporary life. The name Branos, representing the Nigredo stage in Alchemy, mirrors the Ravens role in breaking down old structures for transformative new beginnings. Through his magical endeavors, he aids others in reaching their Awen.Professionally, Branos is a Blacksmith/Crafter and an employee of Asheville Parks and Rec residing in the Mountains of Western North Carolina with his wife, a Multifaceted Holistic Healer, and his daughter, who shares his crafting interests. Actively engaged in community volunteer work, they nurture nature. His lifestyle, not mere hobbies, reflects his passions. While his tone may come across as forthright and occasionally harsh to those unfamiliar, his personality is inherently jolly with a discernible edge.
