Deep Look Into the History of Religion: Druidry (Blog 3)

Druidry is the original religion of the celtic people that one time lived throughout all of northern and western Europe. After the wars with the roman empire and the fall of gaul most of the druidic nations became a part of the roman empire with the exception of the celts in Ireland and Scotland. These lands would be the last bastion of druidry in its original form up until the fall of the roman empire and the rise of the chatholic church.

Years later with the rise of catholicism and the crusades through Europe, papal influences eventually reached the druidic people. Through the brutal conversion of the citizenry and the lack of written records of druidic practice, it was thought that the druidic following was officially wiped out. Then for good messure what little written records there was, were burnt. But the religious tradtions were kept alive through secrecy and survived as they had for millenia.

Druidic practitioners are still alive today, but because of historical happenings, they have been under the radar. Most people do not even know that Druidry exists because of what they have taught growing up. But what people must know is that it is a true religious practice that has set its roots deep into history and is still going strong today.
