Prominent Latter-Day Saints who should have been Druids.

The following is a list of a few prominent Latter-Day Saints who I consider to be Druids in all but name. In other words, though they didn't (as far as I know) think of them selves as Druids or use the title, their lifestyles and teachings are consistent with the highest values of Druidry.

Hugh Nibley

An absolutely brilliant man, the Einstein of Mormon Scholarship, He was both warrior (intelligence officer for the Screaming Eagles) and a peace maker, a man of great scholarship and great spirituality, and one who found spiritual solace in wild places. He wrote positively on Hermetics, one of the main influences in the Druid Revival.

Brigham Young

Made the desert blossom as a rose, he knew the power of fertility. Nibley wrote a book on Brigham Young and the Environment and stated that BY lived up to the highest ideals of Hermeticism. The fact that such a book is possible marks Brigham as one of the greatest of my LDS para-Druids.

Spencer W. Kimball

Ephraim K. Hanks

I will add more names and commentary in a future post. Feel free to suggest any others you wish.

Yours under the fellowshipping oaks
