Many of you may be wondering, what is Tsain Druidism? Well I hope this helps.
It is a pagan-like belief, that there is a massive pantheon of gods, but very few have revealed themselves. The patron god of Antillica, and as it is believed, humanity as a whole is Rek'tuk, who claimed the lands as an infant.
The Tsain believe that gods do not like to feed on death, but the spilling of blood helps them grow. Rek'tuk has grown with society, becoming the most powerful god of the pantheon.

San'tuk, the wife of Rek'tuk, is the god of nature. It is believed that the sun is the eye of Rek'tuk, while the moon is the eye of San'tuk, and that the couple take turns watching over us.
The world was made when the pantheon grew tired of amusing themselves, and all gathered, to share ideas. The idea to keep the gods amused was decided, they would make things to amuse them. But they needed a place to put these things on, so San'tuk wove the world, from godly materials.

San'tuk then decorated the world with trees, flowers and animals. A god named Sid'tuk created the oceans with his tears, brung by the beauty of the world. Another god, the name of which has been lost created birds, and vast exspanses of space for them, the sky.
For a time all was peaceful, quiet, then Rek'tuk grew bored, and he made us. Then the world was shared out, the sky going to the nameless god, seas going to Sid'tuk, natural things to San'tuk, Humans to Rek'tuk and land to humans.

These beliefs are compiled into Tsain Druidism, If you have questions, message me, or post in this thread.

So the only similarity between Tsain Druids and historical or re-constructionist Druids like myself is that you worship a pantheon?

Not at all! The Tsain are masters of herb lore, and treat nature as an equal. They also share a belief in reincarnation, but that belief is closer to that of a buddhist in that when one life flame is exstinguished, another sparks into existence.

I agree that there are similarities, but don't be offended if your religion is referred to as 'Tsains' and not 'Druids' so as not to confuse the practice with the one that I myself follow.

I will not be insulted, it will help with discerning between faiths, I would hate to be mistaken for a follower of a different faith.
