Whats the difference between a Witch and a Druid?
We have much in common. Both are Pagan faiths of European origin. We both practice magic, use plants and poetry in that practice, observe the same holidays and worship some of the same deities. Historically Druids were more patriarchal that witches, with a male priesthood that interposed between the people and the godhead. The priests also got very involved with politics. (“And the king called to him his druids.. .”) Witches have never been that organized, or wanted to be. We have been more solitary, more matriarchal and Goddess-centered. We have always dealt directly with our deities, and been personally responsible for our actions and choices rather than following the dictates of a creed. Both religions have evolved. I am no expert on modern Druidism, but it seems to me the differences between it and Wicca are more of style than substance.
