Did Jesus learn Druidism while roaming in his 21 years?

Question

If there was an unknown time period in his life, it was suggested that he traveled and learned from Druid mysteries. This would also answer how he performed his magic (mysterious ways), how he was a leader of his 12 disciples (a coven?) and how he was learned of healing techniques, in the ways of herbals. He was said to travel to India as well. Maybe he learned Reiki Healing while there too?

The 12+1 to make a coven was an inside pagan joke, not referring to Druidism. I understand about the relevance to the Celts and their sacred number 3. The part about traveling to India, wasn't related to the actual question and or related to the Celts.

Thank you tx, I would love to be a paid writer.
But right now I am a computer tech, seeking degrees in a technical college.

I have studied, paganism, wicca, druidry and other similar paths for over 8 years. I figured this question would get a rise out of people.

I am not really that nieve. But I have hearn speculation that he had traveled to various places.

Answer 1

Chances are rather minimal. Druids were outlawed in the Roman-held lands, and most of the non-Romanized Celts would likely have viewed him as Roman, so his welcome would have been questionable. Add to that the Jewish traditions of magic (which is more likely what he would have been trained in), and I'm not even sure why he would have travelled there at all.

Most of the lore regarding the number 12/13 seems to come about at a result of him and his group, as opposed to vice versa. I've not seen anything implying that Druids worked in groups of 13 - in fact, when not working alone, the few references that I can think of off the top of my head point towards smaller numbers, such as 5.

Answer 2

I really don't think so. There are too many things that we know were important to the ancient Celts that weren't embraced by Jesus. The number 3 was important to them. The trees that played significant roles in their beliefs. Celtic society had a definite class system (not quite a caste system though). They were polytheistic and some of their deities were seen as female. They believed in some type of reincarnation. Samhain and Beltaine were very important fire festivals to the Celts but as far as I know, no mention of fire festivals were made by Jesus. Shapeshifting is found in Celtic mythology. They had great reverance for the head and thought that the soul resides there instead of the heart.

Many other cultures worshiped in groups, had techniques for healing and used herbs. And I really don't see how the number 12 (or 13) was particularly important to the ancient Celts---at least not in the ways that the numbers 3 and 9 were important. Offhand, I can't think of any myths where the number 12 was prominent, although I am sure there are a few instances somewhere. There are other cultures at that time to whom the number 12 and 13 were very important.

Answer 3

????????????...21 years
1. Jesus was the elder of seven children 4 bro., 2 sis.

2. Joseph was much older than Mary leaving her widowed in the
hands of Jesus this would include his two sisters.
(There was no roaming about picking up "how to's" from the pagans.)
3. He was 12 teaching in the temple, the next time we see him is as He begins his pilgrimage gathering the twelve 3 yrs later he dies at the age of 33. Those years were spent being responsible for his mother and siblings, a traditional Jewish male in biblical times according to the Mosaic Laws he "came not to destroy".

Answer 4

There are no reliable historical documents that indicate there ever was a man named Jesus as described in the bible or in any of the alternative discourses of the time about Jesus' origins. All the stories about the man who has come to be known as Jesus Christ of Nazareth the Savior Messiah are based on hearsay, pure imagination and pro or con fables and are of little or dubious historical value. The two most noted respected and reliable Jewish historians of the era when Jesus supposedly lived were Philo of Alexandria who was born before the Christian era and lived until long after the reported death of Jesus, and Justin of Tiberius who was in fact a native of Galilee and wrote extensively about the people and history of the region. Neither one ever made any mention, notation or reference to Jesus in any of their writings whatsoever. The most reliable evidence suggest that Jesus was in fact based on the combination of many different mythological figures, traits and a combination of various religious and mystery traditions decided and voted upon by 300 Roman Catholic Bishops at the insistence of the Emperor Constantine at the council of Nicaea in 325 AD.

Answer 5

Jesus said "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel" (Matthew 15:24) He began his ministry, being about 30 years of age (Luke 3:23). Jesus was a practicing Jew and kept the Law of Moses perfectly. Jews did not have communications with Gentiles (non-Jews) except by necessity. Therefore the notion that Jesus spent His earlier years as a Druid is fanciful nonsense. Actually I've heard the story before, except it was that he went to India first to become a guru. This also is nonsense for the same reasons.

Why is it that every religion in the world wants to adopt Jesus Christ as a member of their little group, but they refuse to submit to His Lordship and obey His commands?

Answer 6

There is no indication from the Bible or any other historic reference which indicates that Jesus ever passed beyond the borders of Israel. It says nothing of Him wandering, but it does say that He was a carpenter, which is probably what he was doing before his ministry began. You can say He wandered to Antarctica or the moon during that 21 year period if you wanted to, but there is no evidence of it.

Answer 7

Nice story. You should be a paid writer rather than wasting your creations on YA.

Answer 8

Possibly..... the Romans hated them too.

Answer 9

Anything is possible, we don't know what he was doing during that time.
