Druidism Options

Hey, I was wondering if anyone knew anything about original ancient druidism, before the druid revival and neo-druidry and stuff. Druidry has always fascinated me, but i get the impression this whole druid revival thing is only a blurry shadow of what druidism is supposed to be; somewhat like wicca in regards to magic. I know it's kind of a broad topic, but I'm curious to know what the differences are between druidry and neo-druidry, if anyone knows of any good books on the subject, and any general thoughts you might have. Thanks:)

We know very little about what the original druids believed as they had a taboo about writing it all down. The best you might do is research the Greek and Roman historians, contemporaries who did believe in writing things down. Caesar did write a bit about them, but what he wrote is rather suspect as he was busy conquering Gaul at the time and wasnt exactly unbiased. We know that the training to become a druid was log and arduous, something around twenty years training.
It looks as if you have a lot of research ahead of you. Here are a couple of druid sites if you are interested.
