«A great revival of interest in the Druids, largely promulgated by the
archaeological theroies of Aubrey and Stukeley and by romanticism generally, took
th
place in the 18th and 19 centuries. One outcome of this interest was the invention
of neo-Druidism, an extravagant mixture of helio-arkite theology and Welsh
bardilore, and another result is that more than one society has professed itself as
inheriting the traditional knowledge and faith of the early Druids. The United
th
Ancient Order of Druids, however, a friendly society founded in the 18 century,
makes no such claim)».
Uncle Kurt had given to me an article of the British Ecyclopedia, identic to the one that
Tarstein made him read in Germany, 1937. Considering what hae been learnt recently with
respect to the Druids, since they murdered Belicena Villca, and after reading her letter and
received the magisterial explanations of Professor Ramirez, is natural that I shared the
criterion of Konrad Tarstein, in the sense that such article was exceedinlgt resumed and
ambiguous to justify its inclusion in so prestigious work: the first edition of the British
Encyclopedia dated from 1771, for what should be expected that in 1930 they would have
collected enough material about the Druids as to compose a more extense and complete article.
But resulted obvious that the English not desiredto profundize in the History of some
ancient and forgotten Priests, who could kill right now with renewed efficacy.
–In the second visit that I did to Konrad Tarstein –Unlce Kurt remembered– he
approved my reasoning and assured me that what happened in the article was the most
common fact, and he wanted to warn me about that; wherefore he gave it to me: to advise me
that an incredible European conspiracy refused the information or distorted it, with the finality
to avoid that unwanted glances could fall about a theme that the most powerful synarchic
forces were interested to hide. And he warned me again of the, by then incomprehensible,
circumstance that I constituted the prey that They would propose to hunt.
Finally, neffe; in regard to the information was not easy to verify that Tarstein was right
and that he not admitted a simple explanation about the Druicic concealment which was
effectuated in England. This will become evident if you realize a clarifier comparation. For
example, read the article «Druid» in the Encyclopedic Dicctionary of La Montaner i Simon,
which is edited in Barcelona at the ends of the XIX century, and you will have no doubts that
the English publication is affected by an strange rickets, although in the Spanish essay is
appreciated the same purpose to express a good image of the Druids.
Thereupon, Uncle Kurt put in my hands the VII Volume of the Encyclopedic Dicctionary,
work of 26 volumes that undoubtedly had minor magnitude than the British Encyclopedia. I
searched the article and read:

DRUID (from the lat. Druides; from the Cumbric druiz or deruiz¸ of dervo, holm oak): Priest of
the ancient Gauls and Britons.
