Distaff > Weaver’s distaff, Stang is an Old English term for a distaff which in its earliest form was simply a forked tree branch with two or more tines. A distaff was a tool for handspinning usedevery day by women for at least 2000 years before it went out of fashion with the invention of thespinning wheel and its introduction to Europe in the early 13th century and then mechanicalwheels during the industrial revolution. Raw carded fibre is tied to the top of the distaff which wasusually taller than the spinner and the fibre was continuously pulled, twisted and spun onto aspindle.

“The so-called ‘sacred object’ held in such reverence by some witches was in fact a weaver’sdistaff–and could easily be mistaken for a phallic symbol. The weaver’s distaff, bound with reedsor straw, appears frequently in rural carvings and elsewhere. It again has reference to the Craftand supreme Deity. It would appear that the witches were not in the least influenced by Freudianconcepts.”
-– Robert Cochrane, On Cords

  An update on the Celtic-Druidic Belieftoids and Factoids root sources Project: The overall files downloaded are about 39GB. I now have Bios, and complete surviving translated works of most, if not all Greek and Roman authors. While I had many scores of all available scanned books and articles both pre and post-WWII already I have added a lot of post WWII Druid articles, with a 25-page review and downloading from a Yandex WWW search. Of course, most are rehashes but bits of gold can still be found. Categorizing and Hashtags are still being fine-tuned. The Blog that is the project Homebase has many units already paged but needs a great deal of work. The goal will be one small factoid or Beliefttoid per bog. With quotes of its oldest found root publications, and then perhaps citations of some of the older books sharing these ideas or claims. Happy or sad, my book list is very large on this.

 9/9/22, 1 D:: Druid What is a Druid? Modern. A PERSON WHO HAS ACHIEVED THE GRADE OF DRUID IN AN ESOTERIC OR  SPIRITUAL SOCIETY. Some of the Revival era Druid groups adopted the grades of Bard, Ovate, and Druid from Classical sources. In this scheme, one might describe oneself as a Druid only when one has been initiated into that grade or when one has completed training for that grade. This is in some ways comparable to the "degrees" of ceremonial magic or academia. Ancient: The ancient Celtic Druids were: Ritual or sacrificial leaders. Scholars and teachers; Advisors to kings and other leaders; Judges and legal historians; Druids had final approval on all tribal death sentences. Seers or Diviners; Poets; Magicians or "Wizards".
