A: First Kathy, I'll start with a few quotations from some good research books. "Druidism is a form of the Wiccan religion which is Paganism. Paganism centers around goddess worship or the worship of 'earth mother' or the 'huntress'."¹ "Wicca: Old English term for witchcraft. Modern witches prefer it because it does not have a negative connotation as witchcraft. It emphasizes an earth mother or goddess worship."² "Witches (Wiccan) believe that by attuning themselves to the goddess, they can use magic spells to achieve their desires. Wicca emphasizes ties to Mother Nature. Wiccans believe in and use pantheism, astrology, psychic power, tarot cards, spiritism (channeling spirits), reincarnation, crystal balls, etc."³ "The one common theme running through modern witchcraft is the practice of and belief in things forbidden by God in the Bible as occultic."⁴ "Within the Catholic Church in America, many radical feminists have adopted "Mother Goddess' of Wiccan in protest o a masculine hierarchy, natural or supernatural."⁵

Next, Holy Church speaks to all forms of witchcraft, which includes Druidism. "There are a great many kinds of sins. Scripture provides several lists of them. The Letter to the Galatians contrasts the works of the flesh with the fruits of the Spirit: 'Now the works of the flesh are plain: fornication, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery (my emphasis), enmity, strife, jealousy, anger, selfishness, dissension, factions, envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things shall not inherit the Kingdom of God (my emphasis)."⁶ "All practices of magic or sorcery, by which one attempts to tame occult powers, so as to place them at one's service and have a supernatural power over others - even if this were for the sake of restoring their health - are gravely contrary (my emphasis) to the virtue of religion. These practices are even more to be condemned when accompanied by the intention of harming someone, or when they have recourse to the intervention of demons. Wearing charms is also reprehensible. Spiritism often implies divination or magical practices; the Church for her part warns the faithful against it."⁷ "Superstition is a departure from the worship that we give to the true God. It is manifested in idolatry, as well as in various forms of divination and magic."⁸

Lastly, Holy Scripture prohibits divination, reincarnation, witchcraft, spells, etc. as 'abominable acts' or, in more modern language, mortal sins! To quote all scripture here would be too lengthy. However, the Book of Deuteronomy has many good scriptures within it that you can read. "I, the Lord, am your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt. that place of slavery. You shall not have other gods besides me (my emphasis). You shall not carve idols for yourselves in the shape of anything in the sky above or on the earth below or in the waters beneath the earth; you shall not bow down before them or worship them. For I, the Lord, your God, am a jealous God."⁹
