 Spiral Nature - Spirituality - Druidry - An Overview of Trad Druidery
Trad Druidry has only three elements as opposed to four (or 5 depending on how you look at it), it follows Brehon Law instead of the Wiccan Rede, and we avoid the "white robes and gold sickles" stereotype because we realize how flawed that misconception is.
I hope I was able to shed a little light on the obscure tradition that is Trad Druidry, as well as fairly demonstrate the diversity among Druidry as a whole.
The first group, of which most people are the most familiar, is the Neo group that includes the ADF, Henge of Keltria (if it's still around), the RDNA and NRDNA (Reformed and New Reformed Druids of North America), and similar smaller groups.

 Grey Cat, Witch, Priestess, Author Grey Cat's Articles Survey of Non-Conventional Religions
The Neo-Pagan form of Druidry in the US had unlikely beginnings in a protest movement at Carlton College in Minnesota where a group of students, objecting to mandatory chapel attendance, formed a group they called the Reformed Druids of North America which met under a particular tree on the campus.
It's up to everyone's honor to be true to their faith, as long as they don't break the frith (code of honor).
This has become an integral part of the college mythology and my own step-daughter had to have a black cape before she returned there to school her first year.

 Complete Idiot's Guide to Wicca Craft (The Complete Idiot's Guide)
Wicca is the largest and best-known Neo-Pagan religion, but it is not the only one-Northern Paganism (Asatru) and Druidry share its traditions.
Not only that, the book makes it out that every craft is simple and easy to do and everybody can make these out of stuff lying around.
And with the ritual tools, altars, amulets, candles, mirrors, cauldrons, and a deeper understanding of their meanings, new and veteran Wiccans can enrich their ceremonies, from Esbats and Shabats to magical circles, and from kitchen magick to ritual baths.

 Spiral Nature - Spirituality - Druidry - An Overview of Trad Druidery
They are characterized by a heavy blending of Druidic and quasi-Druidic qualities with, well, everything else- the "eclectics" of Druidry if you will.
The first group, of which most people are the most familiar, is the Neo group that includes the ADF, Henge of Keltria (if it's still around), the RDNA and NRDNA (Reformed and New Reformed Druids of North America), and similar smaller groups.
What makes them unique is that they are neither trad nor eclectic, and base many of their rituals and codes by the surviving works of Roman authors (such as the infamous Pliny and Caesar).

The moment was right for a respected spokesperson for the preeminent Druid organization worldwide to acknowledge (and thereby bless) the syncretic blending of tradition and innovation which is the sine qua non of actual neo-pagan practice.
It is as if Druidcraft were mainly a Goddess religion with the God perfunctorily included for obligatory polarity balance.
"Druidcraft" draws on the traditions of scholarship, storytelling, magical craft and seasonal celebration of both Druids and Wiccans, to offer inspiration, teachings, rituals, and magical techniques that can help you access your innate powers of creativity and healing, intuition and seership.

DDTM is in a class by itself, still standing after 20 years as the only journalistic overview of American Neopaganism written by someone who is both a fine journalist and a trusted insider.
Drawing Down the Moon reports the state of the neo-pagan/witchcraft movement through the late 1970's.
Most people don't realise that "pagan" simply refers to pre-Christian polytheistic nature religions such as the various Native American creeds, Japanese Shinto, Celtic Druidry and Western European Wicca.
