The 19th Century Folly, the Druid Temple. Is it legit?

Is the Druid Temple used by Modern Druids?

Yes, the 19th century folly, the Druid Temple, has been used by modern Druids. The temple is located in Swinton Park, North Yorkshire, England, and it was built in 1812 by William Danby (a Christian). The temple is a large, circular structure made of stone, and it is surrounded by a grove of trees.

The temple was originally used by Danby for his own private religious rituals. However, in recent years it has become a popular place for modern Druids to gather and perform their own rituals. The temple is also used by other Pagan groups, such as Wiccans and Asatru.

Modern Druids use the temple for a variety of purposes, including:

• Handfasting ceremonies

• Solstice and equinox rituals

• Tree planting ceremonies

• Other Pagan festivals and celebrations

The temple is a sacred place for modern Druids, and it is a reminder of the long history of Paganism in England.

In addition to the Druid Temple in Swinton Park, there are a number of other modern Druid temples and sacred sites around the world. Some of these sites are ancient, while others have been built in recent years. Modern Druids use these sites to connect with nature, to celebrate their faith, and to build community.

But does their use legitimize it and make it Sacred?

Whether or not the modern Druids' use of the Druid Temple legitimizes it as a sacred site is a matter of opinion. Some people believe (myself include) that the Druids' use of the temple and their efforts to charge it with their spirit and magic make it a sacred place. Others may believe that the temple is only a sacred site if it was originally built and used as such.

There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that the Druids' use of the temple makes it a sacred place. However, there are many people who believe (again myself included) that the Druids have a special connection to the natural world and to the spirit world. They believe that the Druids' rituals and ceremonies are powerful and that they can help to create sacred spaces.

Ultimately, whether or not the Druid Temple is a sacred site is a matter of personal belief. There is no right or wrong answer.

Here are some different perspectives on the question:

• Some people believe (myself again included) that any place can be made sacred if it is used for sacred purposes. They believe that the Druids' use of the temple and their efforts to charge it with their spirit and magic make it a sacred place.

• Other people believe that a place can only be sacred if it was originally built and used as such. They believe that the Druid Temple is not a sacred site because it was built by a Christian man in the 19th century.

• Still others believe that the sacredness of a place is determined by the people who use it (I agree). They believe that the Druid Temple is a sacred site because it is used by the Druids for sacred purposes.

Ultimately, it is up to each individual to decide whether or not they believe that the Druid Temple is a sacred site.
