Druids are synonymous with Stonehenge and the Summer Solstice but are these modern druids representative of their ancient forbears? And who exactly were the druids? Many people base their knowledge of the druids on brief remarks made by Roman Emperor Julius Caesar. But, there are many other sources – from Ireland – that provide us with much more information on this ancient group. In this episode, I talk to author and Druid Priestess Ellen Evert Hopman, of the Tribe of the Oak Druid Grove.  In her books A Legacy of Druids, and Being a Pagan she researched modern-day druids. We discuss contemporary Druidism as well as the ancient rituals and traditions of the group.
