This is too much to explain in this forum. There are many different orders of Druids with varying belief systems. Here are some links that will answer your questions:

This site lists many different Druidic orders and gives descriptions of each:

Personally, these are my favorite two Druidic groups. I have known members from both, but have never been a member myself:

Druids are a type of pagan and prefer so much traditionalists there teachings wherein phrase of mouth. Monks wherein simplest those within the time of historical that might write however pagan faiths might no longer believe them to list whatever to do with their faiths. Monks surely are fans of the church and byest. Which they recorded it besides striking there possess spin on matters and making dangerous propaganda like pagans are satan worshippers and so forth That's why to be a pagan you're a pupil getting to know what you're drown to and discovering your direction. Don't feel the whole thing you pay attention from television and radio. Traditional pagan ideals had been round longer than any chrsitian ones. I was once raised as a catholic it under no circumstances felt correct for me and it was once bloodless. I located pagan, not anything has or shall be pressured on me.

Many Pagan Druid orders draw their inspiration from Celtic traditions, working with the Gods and Goddesses of the Celtic Pagan past. Some work with whatever spirits are within and around the people they are working with. So when in America, for example, they honour the spirits of that land; when at Wayland's Smithy they might honour the Old Gods of the builders and the Anglo-Saxon Wayland. Also, they might be drawn to particular deities, regardless of tradition or culture, because of their own cultural/spiritual background or because these deities seek them out. (Thanks to Philip Shalcrass of the BDO for this amendment) Druidry stresses the mystery of poetic inspiration and explores healing, divination and sacred mythology. However, not all Druid orders are Pagan. Some are charitable organisations. Others follow particular esoteric teachings not necessarily sympathetic to Pagan beliefs, and some Druid orders are of an artistic or Christian nature.

Following the problems at Stonehenge in 1988, The Council of British Druid Orders was founded as a focus for communication between the various different groups. Some Pagan-sympathetic member orders are: The Glastonbury Order of Druids, which works with the Glastonbury mythos; The London Druid group, founded in 1986 which has associated Celtic and magical groups; and the Druid Clan of Dana, a daughter organisation of the Fellowship of Isis.

The British Druid Order founded in 1979, which is both Pagan and Goddess orientated, and the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids, which has both Christian and Pagan members left the CBDO to form the Druid Forum, which meets to discuss issues of relevance to modern Druidry.

Druidry has no book of law, the only lessons being those learnt from nature. There are no gurus and hierarchy is kept to a working minimum. Central to Druidic belief is a love of nature combined with the pragmatic view that spiritual insight should be expressed in daily life. Druidry stresses the importance of working as a part of a group and working as an individual to develop the spiri tual life. Druidry is especially concerned with the ecological crisis faced by the modern world, and works in many ways for the healing of the Earth.

Druidry represents another branch of the flourishing tree of Pagan spirituality. Druidry grows from strength to strength, answering in its own voice the call of the Divine.

Hope that helps.

Blessed Be

Answer 4

the druids were great at mapping the stars, this is what Stonehenge was use for, mapping the solstices, they did human sacrifices, why though no one knows. there are many stories but little based facts. Most ancient religions worshiped the sun, because it was the father that made everything grow and made warmth, while the moon, usually was the mother figure, bringing light to the darkness, ( comforting ). well this is a quick history, hope it helped. peace out
