There is fraternal/sororal Druidism, which started in England 1781, and spread around the world, so that by 1933 there were 1.5 million adherents, though membership has dwindled now. This kind of Druidism is focussed on social and charitable work and uses ritual that is very similar to freemasonry. There is masonic Druidism - freemasonic groups that use Druid names and symbolism in their rituals. How many Druids are there in the world today? Accurate figures for the number of people interested in Druidism in its various manifestations do not exist, but there is enough information to make an estimate.

Druid Animal Lore. Look far off to the north-eastOn the ocean so splendidTeeming with lifeHome of the sealsShining and playful in the full tideIrish ninth century Imagine that you are in a forest glade, a clearing lit by shafts of sunlight that filter down through the canopy of leaves high above. For a moment it seems as if you are alone in this clearing, but then you hear the sound of scuffling hooves, and all of a sudden you see a young white hind approaching you – its graceful body caught in the sunbeams. She stops, and for a moment the two of you simply stare at each other – each surprised, each entranced for a moment. Then she turns away from you, slowly and deliberately, and walks – not runs – back into the forest from whence she came. She moves so slowly she seems to want you to follow her.
