In my mind I distinguish Druids into two groups, the real (ancient)and the modern. Truth is we dont know much about the ancient druids but many of the modern drudic societys have been built on the few craps we do have, People then improvise to fill the gaps.

Absolutely, Pusaka. That's always the grump about the modern druids. The funny thing is that the "Druid revival" began back around 1717, or some such early date, and one of the questions is, how long does a "revival" have to be around before it's accepted as genuine in its own right? I mean, we're going on three hundred years of englishmen wearing white robes and carrying sickles. Isn't that long enough? To a large degree it's irrelevant, though. Only the shysters claim to have some sort of unbroken connection with the ancient druids.
