Hello and a request for advice
Defend the Sacred:
Google translate is not reliable for conversations of any depth or subtlety. It cannot handle idioms or slang. I only use it to get a general gist of things if it's a language I don't know at all. For languages I know, I find all kinds of mistakes.
People who have trusted it to translate what they think are simple phrases have made the mistake of emblazoning those translations on signs and peace poles, resulting in some people praying in gibberish.
earthw7:
kind of like when they use my language ;)

Ha! Yes, L! :D

I was wondering what is OBOD (referred to 16 times in this thread), and found the clue in the very first post. I wanted to learn more, and found this:
https://www.druidry.org/
https://www.facebook.com/druidry/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Bards,_Ovates_and_Druids
From their Facebook page: "Druidry is a vital and dynamic nature spirituality that is flourishing all over the world." — I didn't know they have global aspirations.

ORDER OF BARDS OVATES AND DRUIDS (OBOD)·WEDNESDAY, 19 SEPTEMBER 2018
Druidry is a vital and dynamic nature spirituality that is flourishing all over the world. It unites our love of the earth with our love of creativity and the arts.
Flowing through all the exciting new developments in modern druidism is the power of an ancient tradition: The love of land, sea and sky - The love of the Earth our home.
