Rekindling an Ancient Faith in Druidism
Recipe for reviving an ancient faith:
1) Research every detail you can through historical texts, archaeology and folklore.
2) Pray to the gods for divine guidance.
3) Invent as needed.
Those are essentially the steps a local Druid order is taking as its members try to reconstruct the belief system of the ancient Celts. It's not an easy task. There is only piecemeal evidence about how the ancient Irish-Scottish tribes practiced their polytheistic faith thousands of years ago. "We are mainly just trying to rebuild, re-create, piece together and fill in the gaps in what we do know," said Las Vegan Glenn Hall, a 31-year-old retail manager, husband and father of a 21-month-old son.
"We realize that it is not going to be exactly as it was 2,000 years ago. But it shouldn't be. We don't live like they did 2,000 years ago." Full Story
