The term ''Druid'' comes from the Indo-European word ''deru”, which means ''the truth'' or ''true''.Druids were known as "The Wise Ones" of Celtic society. They were known to commune with the very energies of nature, commanding its raw power and the respect of the creatures of the forests and wild places of the world..The eldest Druid or Druidess, or one deemed to be the most wise, was the Arch-Druid, and would wear gold robes.
The Druids were the intellectual elite. Being a Druid was a tribal function, but they were also poets, astronomers, magicians, and astrologers. It took them 19 years to gain the necessary knowledge and skills in alchemy, medicine, law, the sciences, and more. They organized intellectual life, judicial processes, had skills to heal people, and were involved in developing strategies for war. They were an oasis of wisdom and highly respected in their society.
