Druidism, what is it and where does it come from? Well, it’s classed as a deity magic, as the magic itself originates indirectly from a trio of deities, known as the Aspects. The Aspects are, Cerridwen, Cernunnos, and Nemiisae, each being individual representations of differing parts of nature, and have been known to be changed around within differing in character beliefs. Now the Aspects themselves would be technically considered ‘Lesser Aenguls’ but not in the sense that they aren’t true Aenguldaemons, more so in the sense that the natural energy-pool (energy, read as mana) size for a regular Aengul, is instead split up among the three and making each theoretically holding the power of a third of another Aengul on their own, but is balanced by the three keeping close ties with one another. Like other Aengul’s, the Aspects too have a general task that they follow through using whatever they can and their task, to put simply, is the preservation and protection of the natural plain, including all natural life within it.
Unlike some other deities, the Aspects have a severe dislike for the void as it’s classed as the most unnatural thing to their perspective, and due to this they choose wholly to rely upon their own pool of natural energy to fulfil their task. Unfortunately, due to the size of their pool, it would of been a very slow process for the Aspects to endure, however they continued to persevere and through such, showed great dedication to their task at hand. Due to this, Nature and the Aspects, formed an unbreakable bond with each other and for the greater good, did all of nature agree to pool their own natural energy for the Aspects to tap into as to fulfil their task at a more easier, albeit still difficult, pace.
Now once someone is attuned, they are having their own natural energy pool connected to that of Nature, thus explaining how they immediately are bombarded with the voices of it all, as this would be the most personal connection one could form with another. From this, it also explains how communing is neither simply talking to an animal, or a plantation, but something much more intense, and also explains their ability at a more experienced level to be able to control various natural things. However, that explaining both communion and control, it doesn’t entirely explain how nature’s healing, nor blight healing. With them two, instead of simply drawing from the pool that Nature is assisting with, the druid in question is pushing past that, and connecting directly into the Aspects personal energy flow, thus explaining how it’s such a difference from simply communicating with nature, to being able to manipulating the differing elements of plantation. Shapeshifting, in a sense, is completely disconnected from this whole ordeal as it’s surrounded by a ritual, rather than just the connection of a druid.
This entire thing, would explain many things about the druids, that otherwise simple existed without reason. For one, the Aspect Stones, instead of the Aspects creating them for no intent purpose other than, more power. This would give them the idea that the Aspects were aware of their limited pool, but also knowing that overtime it regenerates back into their being, thus creating these for the druids to be able to tap into, if the need arises. Another, would be the Faerie Rings, where the area is simply a place where the energy-pool is at it’s thickest and seeping through for those to experience how it would feel if connected, because at that moment they are in a sense.
