Who were the Druids
It indicates that the druids thought that their lore should not be transcribed Ogham was not used by any other religion.

George Cruikshank
Your second fact, No Formal Education, brings up the fact that Cruikshank "practiced drawing scenes from the neighborhood."
So I checked internet sources for any extant Cruikshank residence to consider what kind of neighborhood he lived ...

Insects perhaps can be seen as beneficial, in-between and pests.
There doesn't seem to be any tally from internet sources. What would you guesstimate the percentages to be of beneficial, in-between and pest insects?

To go from high school to university, one has to pass an exam in France.
Is that what happens on your, eastern-pond side? If so, would the same exam be given to someone home- or public- or state-schooled?

Who were the Druids
Your comments associate the Celtic alphabet not at all with Druidism. Does that non-use indicate a disrespect or distancing of the former for the latter or vice versa?
Was that alphabet associated with any other religion or spirituality or used ...

Who were the Druids
The answer to that is unknown, but it is likely to be that trees common in the druid's experience were selected.

The seventh fact, The Royal Family, amazes me in the name-calling.
The last bit of writing informs us "Ah! sure such a pair was never seen so justly formed to meet by nature." The last line of two lines after that observation looks like ...

Tree Stories: a Review
The first paragraph to your first subheading, Roots of an Obsession, considers that "animals make up 0.03 per cent of the world's biomass, plants make up 85 per cent, yet we often treat animals as though they were more representative of the ...

Who were the Druids
That's something that I so respect about druidism, the love and respect for our trees.
But I mull why some species were selected and others weren't. There must have been an exclusion process since more than 20 species populated their ...
