In this lecture, we examine one of the more persistent and beguiling claims in Masonic literature: that Freemasonry inherited something from the ancient Druids. The evidence does not support a direct descent, and Stonehenge was not built by Druids, inconvenient though that may be for the more mist-addled corners of the imagination. Yet the myth itself is revealing. From classical fragments and antiquarian conjecture to Stukeley, Anderson, Preston, Oliver, Mackey, and the rise of fraternal Druidry, this presentation explores how the Druid entered the Masonic imagination, not as an ancestor of the Craft, but as one of its most fascinating symbolic mirrors.
