The original Druids were true children of the Magi, their initiation deriving from Egypt and Chaldea, or in other words, from the purest stone-hengesources of primitive Kabalah…

The Druids built no temples but worked the rites of their religion on dolmens and in forests. The mechanical means by which they raised such colossal stones to form their altars is even now a matter of speculation.

These erections are still to be seen, dark and mysterious, under the clouded sky of Armorica. The old sanctuaries had secrets which have not come down to us.

The Druids taught that the souls of ancestors watched over children; that they were made happy by their glory and suffered in their shame; that protecting genii overshadowed trees and stones of the fatherland.

(Eliphas Levi, The History of Magic, 1860, p. 292).
