@Seano71 The Irish are not Celts,and never in history did our great ancestors consider themselves Celts. We are Gaels not Celts. It was a term given to us in the 18 century by the Brits.

@Sacredg121121 obviously what modern Druids practice isnt exactly what the ancients practiced but it's as close that we can get while being historicly and religously accurate as possible like i said there are other sources other than Ceaser...accounts of locals and bards of druids and there ways even if the druids themselves didnt write anything down untill the very end and even this what was written was written on stone in Ogham, translated into ancient irish, then modern

[viNCeK13]

@Sacredg121121 Well yes part of the information comes from Ceaser but he wasnt the only recorder there were other recorders of the Druids which we're greeks, guals, romans, and in the VERY end of the age of druidry some druids had information written down in Ogham to preserve what they could due to the invasions

it's not perfect at all of course, it's like trying to rewrite a book covered in paint but what we learned and what not, we practice

[Sacredg121121]

@viNCeK13 I guess my question would be then, how can you be certain that what you are studying is Druidsm when they passed on there teachings orally and there is no written form of doctrine or philosophy, just what Julius Ceaser wrote in a account of Gaul. Don't get me wrong i am very into Nature and what it can teach us, and do believe that the Druids existed, but i think to many blanks have been filled through out the centuries by poets and historians and story tellers.

@Sacredg121121 well i'm actually a practicing Pagan Druid so i do alot of research trying to find out as much as i can from various document from the national library in america to various historical books written by pagans and non pagans

for example we know that the Druids werent a people they were a class within society anyone could become a druid if they wanted to apply themselves to the 20 years of study

we also know that Gualish druids traveled to ireland/england to study

[Sacredg121121]

just out of interest how do you know that about the Druids when there was little to no written documentation from the Druid people. There schools were completely oral and past down there teachings in story and song and art form. The only written accounts were from the Romans which in my opinion was probably biased. i was under the impression that any knowledge was wiped out. I'm not being confrontational just interested if you know otherwise.

@Seano71

lol is it fuck.

@viNCeK13 these docs are old, 90's i think? but you are correct, barbs had road ways before the Romans did, and lots of other great inventions, They where actually a very clean people contrary to belief. Glad to see someone else who enjoys keeping up with new found historical evidence.

@Cliner98 Actually while a people like the Romans would have considered them barbaric the Ancient Irish (pre christianity) were a VERY educated group. They prided knowledge and philosophy just as much if not a LITTLE bit more than physical strengh and battle. They even had a "learning" group, the Druids and to be a full druid you had to study for 20 years to be considered a legit Druid, nowadays it only takes 3 years of study lol

Viking Dublin was made up of Norsemen and Irish women think about this. There was a war between the Pagan and the Christian way of life. It was a last stand for the Northmen.We owe much to every strand that makes up modern Ireland.
