     The Druids emerged from the ancient Celtic tribes, at a time when the people had to live
     close to nature to survive. By the light of the storyteller's fire, and with the play of the
     harp, the Druids dreamed magic for their people. In the deep woods they would gather,
     bringing together their mysticism and philosophy, their insight and learning. Their spirit
     emerged from the the tides of the sea, the light of the sun, the wind in the Oak, the cry
     of the deer. In this way, they created an institution that inspired, frightened, and
     uplifted their world.

     The moon still dances for us now as she did then, and so the wonder of Nature remains
     as awesome as in those lost days. The Druids may be gone, but their magic is not. It
     may yet emerge from the earth again, if we remember her and love her again.

Most modern Druids connect the origin of their religion to the ancient Celtic people.
However, historical data is scarce. The Druids may well have been active in Britain and
perhaps in northern Europe before the advent of the Celts.
