Druidry

/ˈdruːɪdri/ noun

Definition

The practices, beliefs, and way of life associated with ancient Celtic druids or modern druidic movements.

Etymology

From druid + -ry (practice or craft). Druid comes from Old Irish drúi, with uncertain etymology but possibly related to oak or knowledge. The -ry suffix indicates a system of practices or customs.

Kelly Says

Modern druidry is a fascinating revival movement that began in the 1700s—it's almost entirely reconstructed from fragments since the original druidic knowledge was largely oral and lost!
