[QUOTE="nevin, post: 9159470, member: 7024481"] careful defining druidism. There are very few written records of what druids did, mostly by the Romans as far as I know. There was a lot of "druidic" revivalism going on in 1800's and and 1900's and what most people consider to be the "Druidic" religion is a modern construct made by people who used the tiny amounts of historical documents to validate what they believed, and in many cases just outright fabricate with no support thier beliefs. To begin with each of the Celtic regional groups had druids they all worshiped gods but not all the same gods. There are indications in those roman writings that the Druids weren't the uniform, religion that modern myths make them out to be. But regardless of what you believe there are very few and scant records that actually document any Druid beliefs or practices. go try and find some historical documents to back up those books you reference. You'll be horrified at how little evidence there is to back up any view on Druids. [/QUOTE]
