Talk:Druantia

Totally unreferenced
This article has a very hazy historical introduction, and then appears to move rapidly into modern, neopagan beliefs. These two asects should at minimum be separated. --Nantonos 00:17, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

The original article, and my comments inserted in italics:

In Myth - A fir tree Goddess who probably had her origins in Gaul.
 * Inscription databases such as Clauss-Slaby show no dedications to such a deity. What is the source for this? How do we know this deity ever existed??

The root of her name, drus, means "oak," and links her also with oak trees and with the Druids.
 * The etymology of 'dru' appears to be correct, though it should be referenced

Today she is associated with the Dryads, the tree faeries, and reigns as their queen. The Dryads protect their native trees by punishing those who show disrespect. Known as the "Queen of the Druids", Mother of the tree calendar; Fir Goddess. Fertility, passion, sexual activities, trees, protection, knowledge, creativity.
 * ''Which group claims this today? Where do these attributes come from? Which group awards the title ""Queen of the Druids"? Again totally unreferenced. Mention of the tree calendar leads me to suspect that Robert Graves is the origin of this.

Archetypally she is an aspect of the eternal mother as see in the evergreen boughs.
 * Again, which group holds these beliefs?

This deity is entirely a product of silly neopagan groups who do not know what they are doing. No inscriptions are known to this goddess, and no other evidence of any kind. At least the part about probably gaulish origins should be deleted.
