I do not think that it would be *br*: beyond believibility, to say that there are such things as *br*: werewolves and vampyres within Druidic faith due to the *br*: common referrences in classical literature describing the *br*: Druids ability to shapeshift, and three of the most common *br*: animals in those referrences are: Wolves, Stags, and Boar (I *br*: believe). As far as Vampyric entities are concerned; there *br*: is also room in druidic faith for them as well. I believe *br*: that creatures like the Pooka, fall under that category; as *br*: well as it is possible that once there was in Celtica, a *br*: cult who required the drinking of human blood; such cults, *br*: I've read, have existed since the rise of ancient *br*: agriculture in the middle east near Summeria, so it's not *br*: improbable that the Celts had something along those lines...*br*: And even Mr. Carr-Gomm admits to a common druidic belief in *br*: dragons...*br*:*br*: Well, those are my thoughts on the subject...*p**p*My friend I thank you and appreciate your honest opinion. Thank you. Re: Druidry, Vampires and Werwolves Akiernox OCathasaigh 61 Sat May 23 12:22:03 1998
