Curious construction, fantasy

Hi Pusaka,

You're right, although druid revival is the terminology used. I'd point out in contrast, that there is a line of succession that is several hundred years old among the revivalist druids, and the question is whether should be considered fake, simply because the revivalist druids use a name that is several thousand years old.

Again, I'd point out that this is uncomfortable ground for this particular forum, which is really about the artifacts, not the "authenticity" (however defined) of the traditions that produced them. For me, having a tradition that is several centuries old is authentic enough, even if it doesn't trace directly back to the old headhunting, slave taking Celts.
