You are partially correct. We don't know how the ancient Druids constructed their rituals, and so we have adopted the 4 elements from the Western Mystery Tradition, which in turn borrows from the more ancient near east. The 3 realms are rich cultural constructs, peopled with gods and stories. /|\

There is also an element of nurturing the reborn sun, or the god Mabon in the Welsh tradition.

The Romans built the Baths and the name stuck!

Bath, England.

Hi, I run the Bath seed group in the UK. Been in OBOD since 89. Looking forward to getting some more apple trees in the ground, and delivering my annual grafting workshop.

Please add me. /|\
