The Druids were an order of priests and teachers in the European religion of the countryside, called Paganism or Heathenism, which worshipped the calendar. The name is connected to the word for oak-tree, and they did venerate the oak and its mistletoe, and trees generally. They believed in metempsychosis ( the transmigration of souls) and what Christians call "magic."
