DRUIDISMS Meaning and
Definition
-
Druidism refers to a modern religious and spiritual movement that embraces and seeks to revive some aspect of the ancient Celtic Druidry. It is derived from the historical practices and beliefs of the ancient Druids, who were the priestly class in Celtic societies of the British Isles and Gaul during pre-Roman times. Druidism is characterized by its focus on nature worship, reverence for ancestors, and the pursuit of wisdom and harmony with the natural world.
In contemporary usage, the term "druidisms" may also encompass a broader range of practices and beliefs associated with modern Druidry, including diverse traditions and personal interpretations. This may involve engaging in ritual ceremonies, such as seasonal celebrations and rites of passage, using symbolism and invocations to honor the spirits of nature and connect with the divine.
Druidisms often involve an emphasis on ecological considerations, promoting environmental sustainability and celebrating the interconnectedness of all living beings. Many practitioners also seek to cultivate personal spiritual growth, studying ancient Celtic mythology, folklore, and wisdom teachings to gain insights into their own journey and connect with the ancestral heritage.
While Druidism encompasses a wide range of beliefs and practices, it generally centers around fostering a deep spiritual connection with nature, honoring the cycles of life, and striving for wisdom, harmony, and personal enlightenment.

Etymology of DRUIDISMS
The word "druidisms" is derived from "druid" combined with the suffix "-ism". The term "druid" itself comes from the Celtic language, specifically the Gaulish word "druides", which referred to the priestly class in ancient Celtic societies. The Gaulish word "druides" possibly originates from the Proto-Celtic *dru-wid-s or *dru-wid- which is made up of the elements *dru- meaning "oak" (a revered tree in Celtic culture) and *wid- meaning "knowing" or "seeing". Therefore, "druid" can be translated as "the knowledgeable or wise ones of the oak". Adding the suffix "-ism" to "druid" results in "druidisms", which refers to the beliefs, practices, or teachings associated with druids.
