LostSouls7 Posted September 10, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Well I have interested in the bards for a long time! I like magic and singing. But this guy explains in more detail about Druid Wizards. And bards! How they used to dress, how each instrument goes with it's element etc. This is very interesting to hear. I suppose there is not one vocal singer bard and element. He did say they shared songs and poems during the festivals. Wow I wish I could have lived in those times and been a bard.... enjoy the video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heru Posted September 11, 2013 #7 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I thought we know very little on the actual druid rituals and practices seeing as they passed there teachings oraly and most of what we know is from Roman accounts and they didnt like them to well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrooma Posted September 11, 2013 #8 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Yes and the bards sing there? I want to go to one of those parties... . As someone who goes to Stonehenge every year to celebrate the Solstices, I can guarantee you'd love it! If you're there early enough, 7pm-8pm, the Druids are still performimg their rituals, and actively encourage people to paticipate in the ceremonies. One year that springs to mind was around 2003-4, where they emptied the main circle, and got everyone to hold hands around the ditch surrounding the stones and sing & chant, to pray for peace. seeing 2-3 thousand people involved in a Druidic ceremony was a remarkable experience! :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostSouls7 Posted September 11, 2013 Author #9 Share Posted September 11, 2013 That sounds amazing! I want to go there for sure now! It's my destiny!! I thought we know very little on the actual druid rituals and practices seeing as they passed there teachings oraly and most of what we know is from Roman accounts and they didnt like them to well. That is true.. the only way the man in the video could know it is if his ancestors verbally passed it down his blood line?? not sure.. .but it could be.
