Default A more ?satr? like Celtic paganism?

Someone described it as Conservative. Is there a Celtic paganism that's more "conservative" cause so far all I have found is really "Wicca-like" hippies.

Celtic Reconstructionist is what you're looking for.

Druidry is certainly a form of Celtic paganism, and the grove I work with is anything but Wicca-like hippie sh Lil, but I do have to say that it does of course vary from group to group.

Every path has it's conservative, middle ground and fluffy side - Asatru included. (We call one extreme Wicca-Tru). I think Celtic and Asatru are generally more conservative overall than other pagan paths and Wicca - Asatru is known as the path with the homework - LOL

It's kind of hard to say. Ancient Celtic religions were spoken, not written. The most we have in writing are Roman viewpoints on the Celtic people. There is not a lot to go on. In my opinion most people do their best to reconstruct Celtic religion in modern groups. We do have practitioners of Druidism and etc., however, it's tough to decide how much is based on the actual belief system and how much is made up. I'm not an expert by any means, on Celtic paganism, but I would assume these things by what I DO know.

Celtic reconstruction ism is closer to Astra than Wicca. But, there are things I don't like about it myself.. I think you'll find that most paths that others create are like that. So, take things with a grain of salt and find the way that's right for you.
Here are some links to Cr sites:

Celtic Reconstructionism or traditionalism is probably what you're looking for. Definitely check out the CR FAQ which others have recommended; that should give you at least a basic understanding of the movement.

CR attempts to modernly and accurately revive Prue-Christian religious traditions, and a lot of emphasis is placed upon historical accuracy and cultural context and tradition.

Search on line for things like "Reconstructionist Celtic Paganism" and you should find some good sites that aren't Wiccan-sh. Jordsvin
