[quote="Branwen"][quote="Littlestone"] It's a epochal problem , druids are historical and the stone circles are prehistoric which doesn't mean to say there was never a onnection but impossible to prove either way .
Maybe not but the 2,500 year gap between the erection of stone circles and the appearance of Druids is something of a hint.
Amberlady, please forgive for challenging this statement but how do you know there was a 2,500 year gap. That sort of assumes that the Druids appeared at a certain point in prehistory and the reality is we just don't know.
(The probably ancient poem ' Song of Amergin' taken from White Goddess by Robert Graves)

I am the stag of seven tines
I am the wide flood on the plain
I am the wind on deep waters
I am the shining tear of the sun
I am a hawk on the cliff
I am fair among flowers
I am a god who sets the head afire with smoke
I am a battle-waging spear
I am a salmon in the pool
I am the hill of poetry
I am a ruthless boar
I am a threatening noise
I am a wave of the sea
Who but I knows the secrets of the unhewn dolmen?
