From USA Today- (slightly off topic (as if we had one))According to an essay by Julius Caesar, the average ancient Celt generally had to train for two full decades in order to become a druid.
Several millennia later, people can complete a course at the Green Mountain School of Druidry in three years. They're even able to achieve this goal by email, though that's likely to take a bit longer.
Ivan McBeth and his wife Fearn Lickfield offer these lessons from their hilly 70-acre Worcester homestead, dubbed Dreamland. There, McBeth has assembled a circle of 13 standing stones for druidic purposes.
Last weekend, the couple conducted a summer solstice ceremony at another megalith that McBeth, now 61, created a few years ago: The Burlington Earth Clock in Oakledge Park. It consists of 13 granite stones, some 10 feet tall, donated and transported by the Rock of Ages Quarry in Barre. They're aligned like a compass, with a diameter of 43 feet. In the center, there's a sundial.
