Druid Fun Facts:
Ancient Druids didn't build Stonehenge (it predates them).
We don't sacrifice virgins (and we don't know if they actually performed human sacrifice in antiquity. But frikkin' practically everyone did in antiquity. Monotheistic religions, too. It's in the old testament, so shut up about it before I throw you in my wicker man make you a nice cup of tea and serve you some cupcakes).
Ancient Druids were in school for 20+ years (me too: 21 years of formal education, but of course, not from Druids [cuss]).
Faeries are not cute little mischievous Victorian pixies who wear flower skirts and pull on your cat's tail. They're big and powerful and can fuck your shit up.
