Upright
There is old knowledge here — not dusty, but living, rooted as deep as oak. Seek out the teachers, the traditions, the tried paths. Not every wheel needs reinventing, and some wisdom has survived the centuries for good reason.
Reversed
Tradition can become a cage if it is followed without understanding. Are you clinging to old ways out of wisdom, or out of fear? The druids were scholars, not fossils — they adapted, learned, questioned. So should you.
Irish lore
The druids were the learned class of pre-Christian Ireland — judges, healers, astronomers, and keepers of sacred knowledge. They taught in oak groves (the word "druid" likely derives from "dru-wid," meaning "oak knowledge") and their training lasted up to twenty years.
