Jul 31, 2008 - um i wanted to know during the christiaztion of eourpe did any of the ancient polyithistic religions survive through that time to now?
BlazeLeeDragon Says:
Jul 31, 2008 - yes many survived. some went underground but as all things do. many of them changed with the times. one of the ones almost completely lost to us is Druidism. We know of the druid ways but it's fragmented and has been pieaced back together as best as can be exspected.

Aug 1, 2008 - hey thanks for the answer um what happend when the church found wat they did?
BlazeLeeDragon Says:
Aug 1, 2008 - the little I know of that period, is that the druids pretended to convert. thus the large influence on modern christianity. the druids worshiped every 7 days on what they called the day of the sun, and it is now know as sunday and they have church then. they celebrate the wheel of the year or the four great and four lesser sabbats. each one of theses are now practiced today and have many of there traditions from druid roots. such as Yule and Christmas, and Easter and Ostara...

Aug 1, 2008 - what does eggs bunnies and candy have to do with christ?...Ostara wise it's a day of fertility, eggs for life, and bunnies...well I'm sure you heard of doing it like bunnies...but anyways they are symbols of new life and fertility...I could go on but I think you get the idea... the female druids however where not excepted, and had to go under ground into hiding. from what I understand they influenced many of the mordern covens today. though they had both religion as well as mystical practice.

Aug 21, 2008 - very well described, and I would disagree I think you went into a good amount of detail and had good examples. I like how misuse of a word can lead to its change in meaning. Like naughty, irony, and chaos just for a couple other examples. I am kinda a vocab snob so this is right up my alley lol. ATF of Axiom of Discord
