Druidism
Ancient oak faith
Druidism is the religious and philosophical practices associated with the ancient Celtic priestly class known as druids, or modern revivals attempting to reconstruct or reimagine those traditions.
Ancient druids served as priests, judges, and scholars in pre-Roman Britain and Gaul.
Modern Druidism, emerging in the 18th century and flourishing today, typically emphasizes nature worship, seasonal celebrations, and connection to Celtic heritage: She practices Druidism and celebrates the solstices.
