The secrets of the druids
_______
The secret of the Druids is in their philosophy.
The druidic philosophy is based on the theory of reincarnation, specifically the migration of souls from one body to another. This process is called metempsychosis.
Souls are born with the minimum amount of life, consciousness and awareness. By transmigrating from one form of life to another, the soul acquire knowledge, experience and judgement, also it acquire awareness of itself, as a unique sentient being. It also strengthen it character of soul power.
The Christian teaching tells you to be good, and you be saved. It is true but incomplete. You also need to be strong, aware and knowledgeable.
The aim of life is not to be saved because you were never dammed in first place. But if you do nothing you can diminish you life force and regress in the consciousness real, i.e. be reincarnated into a lower life form.
There is no Hell. What can happen is that you may end up worse off in you next life if you are cruel, spiritually lazy or arrogant. The Devil does not exist. In druidic philosophy, the principle of evil is call Droug, (or Drwg) but it is not a person, is it a concept, like good and bad right or wrong etc...
Satan is not after you trying to lead you to temptation. Your life is you responsibility, and you can do nothing with it, if you want to, it is your own loss. There is nobody to answer to, except yourself, druidism is a philosophy of responsibility toward yourself.
Most druidic aspirants, are Christian or ex-Christians. This is why I give you examples from the Christian teaching.
Chances are, you are white, Christian and middle class. However, Druidism is for everybody. Indhuism and Budhism are sister druidic philosophies. Induism come from druidism and Buddhism comes from Induism. This is why there are so many similarities.
Taoism and Shintoism are also derived from Druidism with a lot of natural and local deviations adapted to their populations.
Judaism and Muslim (the two, in spite of their differences are sister religions) are very different to druidism and in many instances, opposed to it.
Christianism is at the frontier between Judaic and Druidic philosophies, without having the total and complete knowledge of any of them. This is probably why so many druidic aspirants are Christians.
Many Christian concepts are similar to druidic concepts. The belief in one god, the significance of the soul, life after death, of charity, then importance of man rather than the ritual (parable of the field and the Sabbath)
Druidism is a very old knowledge, dating back to prehistoric time. It come from a lost civilisation sometimes referred to as Defrogani, Hyperborea, or even
Athena the case of Plato, but not from Atlantis, as some would like you to believe. It was taught to the Celts by the Tuatha De Danaan, and from then, spread trough the world, taking different forms according to the people receiving it.Paganism is not equal to druidism, although many seem to confuse the two. Paganism is the natural religion of the people, and as such is mostly true, druidism take it one step further on the road to self and spiritual discovery.
