The Druids: Priests or medicine?

Who were the Druids, and what they represent? These fascinating and mysterious figures stimulated the imagination of the Greeks and Romans, who considered them hidden priests and sorcerers who liked human sacrifices and officiate predict the future by observing how these victims fell to the ground and examining the entrails.
In Britain the early Middle Ages there was talk in a very "nebula" of these pagan witches, goblins or reduced to guess the court in the same way the great Merlin. But the real
Druid (male or female is immaterial) was (and is) much, much more than that.
Despite the limited sources (remember that the teaching was transmitted orally druid), we know that the Druids represented the intellectual caste of ancient Celtic society: they could be lawyers, doctors, counselors of kings and ambassadors, as well as having priestly functions. Far then from being the "illiterate and ignorant barbarians," as defined by the Romans who were, thinking civil toyed at the Circus Maximus watching hundreds of people to fight to kill, or worse, be eaten by lions. (I apologize for the controversy, but I could not help it!). Fortunately
around our fabulous '600 Druids returned to intrigue the minds of that time, so that Isaac Newton was declared follower of this religion. It also came back to training in the late 700, neo-Druid of lodges, one of which was begun in 1908 Sir Winston Churchill.
Even today the charm of the Druidic philosophy and way of life of the Druids is very much alive and powerful, as is the fertile ground on which to build a new philosophy of life, with more respect for all life (including minerals) , and then with more respect for themselves and their spirituality, as taught by the Druids, can only develop with a continuous and constant "love relationship" with Mother Nature.
Only in this way it will come to fully perceive the essence of Druidism and its profound teachings, far from being witchcraft or barbarici.Mi hope that, following the teachings that modern Druids impart to their students, we can build a future where nature is the protagonist, and the men dispensers of love and harmony.
