Doire R0009 
Doire (IG) > The origin of the word ‘Druid’’
is unclear, but the most popular view is that it comesfrom ‘doire’, an Irish-Gaelic word for oak tree (often a symbol of knowledge), also meaning‘wisdom’. Druids were concerned with the natural world and its powers, and considered treessacred, particularly the oak.

Druidism can be described as a shamanic religion, as it relied on a combination of contact with thespirit world and holistic medicines to treat (and sometimes cause) illnesses. They were said tohave induced insanity in people and been accurate fortune tellers. Some of their knowledge of theearth and space may have come from megalithic times.

  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.
