Druidry is based on what we can assume from Ancient Druid traditions. Which includes the religions that were around at the time as well. Now here's a very important thing, we don't know much because the Druids would pass things down through oral tradition, and the Christianization of the Celtic nations caused it to die.
What we know about Ancient Druids: Druid was a job position and status, they did a lot of things like advise, heal, and mediate conflicts.
Modern Druidry is not Ancient Druidry. We literally cannot be like the ancient Druids because we don't know enough about them and we also aren't going to be advising kings that's just- not happening.
Modern Druidry, however, is based in what little we know. No one is claiming it is exact, and if they are, they are wrong.
What we know about the culture where the druids existed: Holidays, clothing, religion (thanks to some Christian priests who wrote myths down during the Christianization of the nations), legends and other mythology not relating directly to religion, the Fair folk (aka Fae).
With what we know about Ancient Druids, and what we know about the culture itself, we have attempted to combine into the religion/spirituality of Modern Druidry. We call ourselves Druids not because we are advisors to kings, but because we are honoring the Ancient Druids that were once spiritual leaders and important members of society. What we follow is hopefully something close to what Ancient Celts would have followed.
Why? For a lot of reasons, but let's just go with the simple answer "because we like it" just like with any damn religion.

What an amazing woman, and a personal heroine for me. She's part of what made me fall in love with radiation and want to study it. đ
"Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less".
"Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained".
"I am one of those who think like Nobel, that humanity will draw more good than evil from new discoveries".
"If I had not been taught chemical analysis by prof. Milicer and dr. Kossakowski in Warsaw, I would not have isolated radium".
"I am among those who think that science has great beauty. A scientist in his laboratory is not only a technician: he is also a child placed before natural phenomena which impress him like a fairy tale".
"Humanity also needs dreamers, for whom the disinterested development of an enterprise is so captivating that it becomes impossible for them to devote their care to their own material profit".
"You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful".
"I was taught that the way of progress was neither swift nor easy".

So I did a bit of indulging and completed the evolution line for the mudkip variations I posted earlier XD This was damn therapeutic to be honest!Â
The same info for each variation pretty much applies for each step in evolution too, so thereâs no âflavor textâ (as a friend called it) under the others.Â
A bit more aboutâŚ

this is your daily reminder to write that fic! who cares if itâs a dying fandom, bring it back to life! who cares if you only have a sentence, youâll get there donât give up! who cares if itâs a self indulgent fic, we love to see it! who cares if itâs an overdone trope, youâre making it unique in your writing style! who cares if it takes you a month to write a fic and then you dip, youâre still writing and sharing your work and thatâs what matters! who cares if you write for yourself and never post it, youâre still writing and getting your ideas down and that matters just as much as if you posted it! just keep writing, you got this <3
