Drui, Druii, Draoi R0011

 Drui, Druii, Draoi R0011,  Roots of word Druid

>> The word “druid,” or rather druides, is first attested in Latin and Greek, though it is of Celticorigin. Irish forms of drui (singular) and druid occur fairly frequently in medieval Irish literature,though mostly as references made in passing, and much more often than the Welsh cognate drywoccurs in in early Welsh.<< Ref. http://www.digitalmedievalist.com/opinionated-celtic-faqs/druids/

>>The word is the plural of the title Drui (or Draoi) and Anglicized into a singular term. Theywere the ‘learned elite’ not unlike the Br&#257;hmana (Anglicized as Brahmin) of Vedic cultureor the Philosopher/Teacher of Greek tradition. Current scholarship questions whether they weremore philosophic or religious in their focus, but they generally were teachers, historians,ambassadors, and conduits to the Gods by their knowledge of the correct understanding of ritualto varying degrees. It is likely the profession had various specialties similar to the Vedic Brahmin. References to druid can be found from Gaul to Ireland, but seem absent from the IberianPeninsula and Northern Italy.<< Ref. http://www.legioviferrata.com/celts/id8.html

You may have noticed that I sometimes use the Druid as a singular form and Druids as Pluralform.

Other Times I use Drui or Druii or even Draoi in its proper (I believe not being a polymath) formand Druid as the Plural form.

  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.
