What is a Druid?

There are many books written about the Druids and their existance ranging from 1-6 thousand years ago up to the Neo-Pagan Druids of today. There are many controversal interpretations as to what they did, what they were, where they lived, how they practiced their religion (way of life) and how they influenced mankind to how we live, celebrate and what we know today.

There are very few facts to go by since the lore of the Druids was passed down verbally and in song from generation to generation until they were pushed out, eliminated and sent into isolation by the agressive and violent religions of today.

Based on my readings, past lives experience and connection to the global ether knowledge of the collective unconcious I have been able to paste together an more accurate interpretation of the Druids.
