What is a druid?

The word Dryad originally came from Druidism, that is, Druidism. Dryad in Roman and Greek mythology means the goddess of the forest. It is said that every oak tree is inhabited by elves, and these tree spirits pass the Oracle to human beings through tree demons. Therefore, Dryad usually appears as a tree spirit in his later literary works.

The original meaning of the word druid is "someone who knows the oak tree". Historically, he was a Celtic priest. His main feature is that he lives in the forest and is good at using herbs for medical treatment. Oaks and acorns are sacred objects they worship. Celtic is a people scattered in Gaul, Britain, Ireland, Europe, Asia Minor and the Balkans from the 5th century BC to the 1 century AD. Druid priests are proficient in divination, meticulous in rituals, and good at calendars, medicine, astronomy and literature ... At the same time, they are also synonymous with law enforcers, bards and explorers. Both men and women can become priests of Druidism, and they can act as priests, wizards or prophets in their families, and they also enjoy a lofty position in society. Some historians equate druid priests with Brahmins, Magi, priests and shamans in India. At first, because Celtic was a matriarchal society, only women could be druids, and then men gradually joined.
