Introduction to Celtic-Druidic Belieftoids & Factiods.


(Everything here is in a rough draft or just storage for future references mode 09112022)


Several years ago I keep noticing how modern articles and books about the Druids of ancient times keep having common factoids or
beliefs of the Druids and practices and lifestyles.
Yet all references, if any were circular to recent modern books quoting each other.
So I started breaking down these common statements or claims, and trying to find their original or oldest published (and translated into Engish) sources. This was not an easy task but an enlighting one.

Here we will try to identify these Belieftoids and Factoids, then locate and document their root sources. TDK

  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.
