    An interesting take placing faith in historical context. I like that notion, the divergent paths outlined and the variance within. Thanks, Sam.

    Thanks.
    I've never really been satisfied with the excessive "tree-hugger" portrayal of druids and nature faiths, and wanted to present an alternative to them. I also wanted to delve a bit into the effects of the evolution of religion, and cross-cultural influences.
    At some point I'd like to expand it a bit, add some more on a modern semi-pantheonic, syncretic mixing of them all as I alluded to, and use that to springboard into other pantheonic mixes.
