I also read the Druids where still in Wales under different names for quite awhile. It seems from the research done that most of Europe was still heavily Pagan into the 15th century and onwards. I know the emblem of the Druids was the serpent around a staff or tree and from the statements of ancient Roman's who lived in India and Gaul the Druid society was the same as the Indo-Aryan Vedic societies in the east. It seems from Manly P.Hall's work the Druids mainly lived like ascetic's doing spiritual practices in the forests and caves. This is identical to the practices on Patmos. I think the Druid god and the main god of ancient Europe was Muruga-Shiva.

I didn't realize the Druids remained around up until the 1600s! Thank you for all this information Don. The Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids don't have such historical data to impart.

Druids being associated with indo-aryans, sharing similar practices with other pagan traditions, have become a subject of interest for me as of late. I read a recent article about this very topic actually: https://archive.org/details/nexion-zin ... mode/1up

This might be in his book 'The Druid Code'. There are also ancient Druid temples in Oklahoma as well with Ogham hymns to Bel on the walls. There are Druid sites all over America.
