Since Christian times Druids have been identified as wizards and soothsays, in-christian Celtic society they formed an intellectual class comprising philosophers, judges, educators, historians, doctors, seers, astronomers and astrologers. The earliest surviving classical references to Druids date to the 2nd century B.C.E.
The word Druid is of Celtic origin. The Roman writer Pliny the Elder believed it to be a cognate with the Greek word drus, meaning “an oak.” The oak was an important sacred tree to the Druids. In the Celtic social system, Druid was a title given to learned men and women possessing “oak knowledge” (or “oak wisdom”).
Some scholars have argued that Druids originally belonged to a pre-Celtic population in Ireland, there are no trace of Druidism among Celts elsewhere.
