The Druids follow the seven Precepts of Merlin and the Guiding Virtues of Honour, Truth Justice, Faith, Hope, Love and Benevolence.

The Ancient Order of Druids began in its modern form in 1781 in England. The Druids incorporated several different Orders including the United Ancient Order of Druids, the Ancient and Venerable Order of Druids, the Order of Druids and the Loyal Order of Druids. Meetings followed a programme which included drinking, toasts and singing of songs. According to the Druidic Dawn website Druids were very fond of both the drinking and the singing! While Druid lodges flourished in the 19th century the Order of Druids has ceased to exist as a fraternal society and is now a financial service however the United Ancient Order of Druids Grand Lodge of Australia is located in Melbourne and still has active Orders throughout Australia.

The first Ancient Order of Druids in Australia was established in Newcastle by Joseph Wagdon, who was also District Master of the Hunter River District Grand United Order of Oddfellows. Like all Friendly Societies, members were entitled to payments for medical expenses, sickness and death benefits.
