Much has been written on the Druids, those enigmatic and mysterious figures of the Celtic World. Majorly in the Roman accounts, they were seen to play the roles of judge, jury, and philosopher-priest all the while acting as Lorekeepers for Sacred Tradition.

You know it's funny... the last time I wrote an article on Lughnasadha and the Harvest was on August 1st last year. It's hard to imagine it's been a year since that article. So much has changed. I've grown, I've lost (honestly way too much for one year but hey, live and learn right?) but most...
