Looking for Druidic Information

Jun 09, 2009 13:38

A bit of background:
I am a believer in reincarnation and the idea of pantheism and akasha.  I am a Reiki Master, and specialize in the Third Eye and teaching it to access the akasha.  Through some exposure to pagans, I realized that some of my more "elemental" thoughts/desires/compulsions can be traced back to at some point having a druidic ( Read more... )

Unfortunately there is no way to access this information. Beyond speaking with the dead, and in such a case it would simply be UPG with no way to confirm what you found out.

The druids left no record of their practices, as they were all taught orally and presumably students were sworn to secrecy. We no longer have any access to rituals, prayers, or practices. Their wisdom was lost when the last of them were killed.

It's important to remember, though, that the druids were law-men, teachers, doctors and so on as well as magicians or god-men. Their role is inextricably bound up with Celtic societies and cultures. As such, there is no place for them in the modern world, even in modern Celtic cultures (and yes, some pockets of Celtic cultures do survive).

If I may ask, what is it that leads you to suspect a druidic incarnation?

A variety of past-life regressions, some of which displaying festivals simular to what we have now, rituals celebrating a variety of lesser "attributes", like first summer wheat, and even a few rituals that well...wicca would almost consider black, but other than those..and such, I just felt so close to nature, part of this tight society, a leader within it. Physically I rarely get to feel that close to Godess, and any lessons I could have learned from my ancient roots could have helped me know how I felt such a close tie back then.

Who is "we", when you speak of "the festivals we have now"? Are you speaking of the Celtic nations ( ... )

My mother was Gael Catholic, my father a Protestant Mutt. I was not taught any of the practices or language as, well...Protestants view anything different as evil, even if it is more a culture than anything at this point. The one "benefit" I have is the ability to "borrow" from those around me quite easily through the universal consciousness, part of the reason I know what I know of the Gealic culture was years doing that to my mother. (Note: bad idea...horrible idea...having a piece of your mother with you 24/7 causes guilt complexes....) If I could find a SINGLE Goidel that holds to any of the old ways in Atlanta then I could quickly build their trust, half-blood and illiterate or not.
