Des druides à l’Assemblée nationale du Québec. Laïcité et spiritualité autour de la « Charte des valeurs » (projet de loi 60)

In November 2013, the Minister responsible in Quebec for Democratic Institutions and Citizen Participation launched, as part of his Bill 60 for the adoption of a “charter of values”, a general consultation in which the whole population was invited to deliver its opinion in the form of memoirs submitted to the Commission des institutions. Over two hundred documents were received, including one from the Communauté des druides du Quebec, a group of French-speaking practitioners of Druidry, this Contemporary Pagan tradition that reconstructs and reinvents the pre-Christian religious system of the Celtic peoples. Based notably on ethnographic research conducted between 2012 and 2017 within the Quebecois Neo-Druidic milieu, this article aims to analyze the issues surrounding this initiative in order to question, following recent works, how secularism is tackled by religious and spiritual groups.
