Celtic Druidism

Celtic Druidism was a spiritual and social system practiced by ancient Celts, particularly between the 4th and 1st centuries BCE. Druids were the priests, scholars, and judges of Celtic society, serving as intermediaries between the spiritual and natural worlds. They valued nature, oral tradition, and knowledge, often engaging in rituals that honored gods and ancestors. Druids played crucial roles in education, law, and medicine, and were respected for their wisdom. Their beliefs were closely tied to the cycles of nature, reflecting a deep reverence for the earth and its elements. Druidism, largely oral, left limited written records.
