I want to learn more about Celtic Druidism. Where is the best place to find infortmat
When I say this I mean in the pagan/Wicca stand point not the catholic or christian point.
Please do not say things like wiped.DOAt really isn't the best place to find information but, thats my opinion. I also am not in a position to buy books. Sorry if I sound extremely borring but, this is something that I am passionate about.
These should point you in the right direction ... http://www.religioustolerance.org/druid.htm
http://www.meta-religion.com/World_Religions/Other_religions/celtic_druidism.htm

EDIT: The link Hestia's Priestess provided in a good one as are the links provided by The Passenger.
Answer: Try this site http://www.druidry.org/ It is the site for the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids. It includes links to how it relates to Wicca. There is also a link to a home study course on the site
I feel like I've answered this question multiple times recently with unpleasant results - not sure why I think that.......
Ok. Celtic, Druidism, Wicca, Pagan... we've got different things going on here.
Celtic Wicca - don't buy any books or read any website with that combination of words in the title. Read this article to find out why - http://www.cyberwitch.com/wychwood/Library/whenIsACeltNotACelt.htm
Celtic Path - Here are some links -
CR FAQ (Celtic Reconstructionism) - http://paganachd.com/faq/index.html (has a very good reading list when you are in a position to buy books which you really will want to do at some point).
Another CR site - http://imbas.org
Specifically geared Irish - http://sinnsreachd.org/research.html
Lots of good stuff here - encyclopedia, texts, links - http://www.maryjones.us/
Celtic myth pod show - pod cast that tells the Celtic myths - http://celticmythpodshow.com/

I'm a Grove Organizer with the ADF. I wouldn't call myself an expert, but from my own experience and study, I can say that I personally would confirm that the resources The Passenger JPA has given you are very good ones. I'd start there.
Neo-Druidism is rather "eclectic" and they give very good reasons. "Druid" points to a position within Ancient Celtic Culture. The Picts had Druids, the Tuatha DeDannan had Druids, the Continental Tribes had Druids...they were the Wise Ones, the Educated Ones, the Skilled Ones...a certificate from the Internet does not a Druid make, but head on, and good luck!
My personal Adventure continues...20 years as a *Bard*, 20 years as an *Ovate*, only a bit over a Decade as a *Druid*, but hey! It`s a job!
