Who are they?
Druids were a group of people who were part of the ancient celt society. This group of people frequently viseted forets, and acted as teachers, priests, jugdes of their society. Our earliest knowledge of Druids come from 3rd bc.
Julies Ceasar, who was the general then a victoror and later a dictator, is our principle source of information of Druids. The conquerer of Gaul, related that there were two groups of men in Gaul, which was a region of Western Europe in Iron Age and inhabited by Druids at the time, which were held in honour. They were Druids and nobleman. Druids were responsible of the public and private sacrifices. As they were the judges people went to them to end querrals and Druids were the one to decide the right and the wrong side. If anyone disobeyed their decree, they would be casted away

They were organized into tribes spread across what is now several countries.
There is some evidence that their main pantheon of Gods and Goddesses might have totaled about 3 dozen – perhaps precisely 33 (a frequently occurring magical number in Celtic literature).
Afterlife: They believed that the dead were transported to the Otherworld by the God Bile. Life continued in this location much as it had before death. The ancient Druids believed that the soul was immortal. After the person died in the Otherworld, their soul reincarnates and lives again in another living entity — either in a plant or the body of a human or other animal.
After a person has learned enough at this level, they move on after death to a higher realm, which has its own Otherworld. This continues until the individual reaches the highest realm, the “Source.” A Druidic visitor to this web site wrote: “All things are created from the Source, including the Gods. We are just sparks from its flame.” At every birth, the Celts mourned the death of a person in the Otherworld which made the new birth

As we all know death of humans has been one of the utmost mysteries we would all like to solve. Although the ancient Mesopotamia, Egyptian, and Hindu all believed in an afterlife, their understanding and celebration if any, seems to be a little different. Mesopotamians were afraid of death, although they believed in afterlife they also had strong belief about the spirits still being alive. The Egyptians had an understanding and outlook on death, in which they believed in an afterlife, but they also believed in preserving the body. However, the Hindu also had the same perspective on afterlife, they were also very religious, but the way they went about it was much different than those of Mesopotamia and Egyptians.

The heart ended up as a divine seed, ready to be re-planted/re-used in the creation of another being. The human brain: is the home of the tonalli, the force of love and heat. This stayed on earth to be kept by your family as ashes in a box with a tuft of your hair, and was associated with the highest heavens of the cosmos. The human liver: being full of blood, is the home of the ihiyotl, courage, the soul and the engine of passions, but also the force of cold. This was dispersed after death in winds, spirits and illnesses, and was associated with the underworld. After death, every human being had a service, tasked by the gods, in the cosmic process. The departed did these services to help keep humanity alive.
The Celts believed that the soul lived on after death. The concept of Elysium is found in a series of Irish tales where the gods inhabited an underworld within the hills or on an island obscured by mist.
Have you ever wondered how a different religion sees death when compared to yours? Well you’d be surprised with how the ancient Greeks viewed death. They believed that something, like how we view a soul, would leave the body shortly after death. They also had steps when attending a funeral. And they also say that your spirit will go to the underworld and would have three different places it would go depending on how that person lived.

Specially I will show that people can actually create a positive reaction by breaking the law. I will explain that Socrates argument and show how depends on how what the unjust causes. Then I will argue that this assumption is to be questioned under the fact that citizens are not necessarily affected by the law breakers, and that by doing something unjust can be moral.
The human heart: abode to the substance of human life, known as the teyolia. The teyolia was affiliated with the world above the earth, it is also the only spirit to travel to the afterlife. The teyolia was considered transcendent, and to be used in the creation of another being. The human brain: abode of the drive of love and heat, known as tonalli. The tonalli was affiliated with the highest heavens of creation. The brain was turned to ashes and put in a box with a tuft of hair to be kept by the family. The human liver: abode to courage, the soul and the engine of passions, but also the force of cold. This was known as ihiyotl. Ihiyotl was dispersed after death in winds, spirits and illnesses, and was affiliated with the underworld. After death, every human being had a service, tasked by the gods, in the cosmic process. The departed did these services to help keep humanity alive. (Ian Mursell)
All Native American cultures have strong beliefs in life after death, although the means of reaching the next life may vary from tribe to tribe. They traditionally believe that death is a part of a natural cycle in which their spirits are transported back and forth between this world and the spirit world so that they can bring renewal and new life when they return. Most consider this transition to be an honor or privilege since it will ensure the survival of their people. In Native American culture, it is believed that neglect of tribal rituals can result in death and sickness, because the spirit returns without blessings, having been unable to enter the other world. According
The Egyptians believed that the human soul used the first night after death to travel into the afterlife. The body, which the
According to H.C. Adams, the wolf is the creature most prominent in the history of lycanthropy because it is the creature which causes the most general and fatal devastation. Up until the 1900s, in European countries herds of famished wolves infesting the roads and forests were responsible for a vast amount of loss of life and destruction of property during the winter. Back then, the fear of wolves morphed into a belief of werewolves. This is unsurprising because “there was little difference between the killings and activities of wolves and werewolves: both would hunt at night, attacking sheep or livestock, and sometimes humans.” With this logic, it’s safe to assume that other places also attributed lycanthropy to the animals most terrifying in the region. Adams states that in Denmark, Sweden, and Norway men turned into bears; in India and South America, the tiger or the jaguar; and in Central and Southern Africa, the lion and the hyena. During times when magic and witches was common, it was too easy for people to believe in bodily transformations into other
The Egyptians believed very much in life after death. As Taylor states in Death and the Afterlife in Ancient Egypt, “It is often observed that they appear to have devoted greater efforts and resources to preparing for the afterlife than to creating a convenient environment for living” (Taylor, 2001:12). The Egyptians viewed life on earth as one stage and death as the beginning of another. They believed that, “human existence did not end with death and that survival of the body played a part in the new life” (Taylor, 2001:12). One of the key elements in the Egyptian culture and religion was the preservation of the body. The body was the most important aspect because it was like a portal through which an individual could continue to live

Life after death is a concept that has been around for many centuries. Many philosophers came to the idea that there had to be something after our life ends. For some, they believe in the afterlife. Another concept is that of reincarnation. Reincarnation is the believe that once the physical body dies, the soul is then reborn as a different being. Some religious teachings are actually said to have skewed some of the details about reincarnation.
