Were the ancient druids an early Masonic cult?

Just like the Freemasons, the druids had elaborate rituals of initiation in which ancient secrets were passed on from an “enlightened” High Priest to the new candidate. Just like the freemasons, the candidate went through a ritual “death” then was arisen into enlightenment during the 3rd degree of initiation.

Here is an interesting read on how ancient traditions spread from Egypt to Phoenicia and to the ancient druids of Gaul and Britain which helped craft modern masonry : http://www.ancientmonks.com/mystical-or ... ers/druids

No druids had gods like thor, and other celtic gods, who battled reptilians. But they did practice occult magick. There is an "Ancient Order of Hiberians" society which keeps celtic knowledge. Another strange story about Ireland is St. Patrick removing all the "snakes", and their hatred for the royal kingdom.

Druids also had strange rituals where they would pull preversed bodies out of pete bogs for ceremonies. I believe they were also tied in with the ancient island of Hy-Brasil off the coast of the united kingdom that sunk the time atlantis did.

The masons took the secrets of the druids and instead of making them available to everyone who wished to learn their benevolant use, called them magick, heracy and satanism and hid them away so only their chosen initiates would know the true mastery of the arcane the druids represented.
