Culture (Latin: cultura, lit.

"cultivation") is a modern concept based on a term first


used in classical antiquity by the Romanorator, Cicero: "cultura animi" or „colere”,
„inhabit”, „cultivate”, protect” desemnating something well cultivated meant to inhabit
and pass on trough tradition and custom and trough generations.

But, we can asimilate the definition of culture to our life, becouse we are
somehow living in our culture by knowing aour history and making another, by creating
our habbits, our belives wich might be new to history or different in action.

Druids were members of the Celtic priestly clas. In ancient societies, their were
seen as a high class of intelectual advisors, priests and magicians, seers and poets, judges
and doctors but also, acquirers of human sacrifices as they were reincarnation belivers
and they emphasized immortality and transmigrasion of he soul.

Druids were iven concerned in education and law, having an good applied control
over the rulers.

Cahan Tiarnan, writing about religious Druidry, said:

" ... Druids know there are many Gods and Goddesses. One cannot be a
'Christian, Wiccan, Moslem or anything else' and a Druid. They will contradict each other."

Celtic societies were spread through much of Western Europe north of the Alps
and in the British Isles. Druidic practices were part of the culture of all the tribal peoples
called Keltoi and Galatai by Greeks and Celtae and Galli by Romans, which evolved into
modern English "Celtic" and "Gaulish".

The etymological origins of the word “druid” are varied. The word may be pre-
Indo-European. The most widespread view is that "druid" derives from the Celtic word for
an oak tree (doire in Irish Gaelic), a word whose root also meant "wisdom."

In Caesar's Gallic Wars, were found the first and fullest account of the Druids.
Caesar notes that all men of any rank and dignity in Gaul were included either among
the Druids or among the nobles, two separate classes.
