I found myself in the same situation a few months back for a campaign I am planning/writing up. I am working on core and prestige classes precisely to allow for the progression you mention (same thing with the bards, actually, so they can progress up to fili), but these are nowhere near complete for release yet, so let me give you some suggestions based on what I came up for a quick game and playtesting.You need to get Mongoose's <a href="http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/rpg/detail.php?qsID=71&qsSeries=6" target="_blank">Slaine</a> and Avalanche Press' <a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=221&products_id=2008" target="_blank">Celtic Age</a>, as these will give you ready-made Celtic goodness to fidget with. You will also need WotC's Unearthed Arcana.You can use the standard core Bard as your starting class, just make the magic divine instead of arcane; it really makes little diference. For the ovate, check Celtic Age, which if I recall correctly, features an ovate PrC (I don't have the book in my office today, so I can't confirm). Lastly, Unearthed Arcana comes with a variant prestige druid class that should do the trick for the last stage of advancement. Slaine also has a druid class that you could use, but that one is extremely tied to the variant mechanics used in that book, and is not so easily portable to more standard d20 than the rest. That said, the Earth Power magic system is interesting, though its use depends on the style of Celtic campaign you are running.If you don't have the two Celtic books, you could make do with using bard as your starting class, and then switching to the prestige druid from Unearthed Arcana. With just the SRD to play with, then go bard (at least till level 5), then druid the rest of the way. It won't really replicate the Celtic advancement structure, but at least you'll have something playable.And while we're talking Celtic stuff, may I suggest you take a look at our product catalog (use the links below) as we just released a small product called <a href="http://www.dmperez.com/highmoon/products-bardiclore-ogham.html" target="_blank">Bardic Lore: Ogham</a>, the written language of the druids in Ireland.Hope that helps, and if you have more questions, post then; I enjoy the topic.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
