Go to the URL below and read the entire NPR article about the summer solstice -- it's short.

In a few words, it about how 'Druids' all over the world are turning to Stonehenge for inspiration. I picked the following phrase are particularly full of lies.

For druids, modern-day spiritualists linked to the ancient Celtic religious order, Stonehenge has a centuries-long importance, and they will be there to perform dawn rituals around the solstice in their traditional white robes. It's effectively all about the cycle of life, of death and rebirth.

I asked Chat GPT what it thought of this paragraph, and here is Chat's response:

The statement contains a few errors and misconceptions:

1) Druids: While Druids are commonly associated with the ancient Celtic religious order, it is important to note that the modern-day Druidry practiced today is not directly linked to the ancient Druids. Modern Druidry is a revivalist movement that draws inspiration from the ancient Druids but does not have a direct historical lineage.

2) Modern-day spiritualists: Modern Druidry is more accurately described as a contemporary pagan and spiritual movement rather than a general term for modern-day spiritualists. Spiritualism encompasses a wide range of beliefs and practices that may not be specifically related to Druidry.

3) Ancient Celtic religious order: The term "Celtic religious order" is somewhat misleading. The ancient Celts did not have a centralized religious institution or order like the modern concept of an organized religion. Instead, their religious practices varied across different Celtic tribes and regions.

4) Stonehenge: While Stonehenge has historical and cultural significance, it is not directly linked to Druidry or the ancient Celtic religious practices. The exact purpose and meaning of Stonehenge are still subject to debate among historians and archaeologists.

5) Dawn rituals around the solstice: While it is true that some modern Druids and pagans gather at Stonehenge to celebrate the solstice, it is not exclusive to Druids. Many different groups and individuals from various spiritual and pagan traditions may participate in such rituals.

6) Traditional white robes: The idea that Druids traditionally wear white robes is a modern invention and not historically accurate. The specific attire of ancient Druids is not well-documented, and the concept of wearing white robes is a modern interpretation.

7) Cycle of life, death, and rebirth: While the concept of the cycle of life, death, and rebirth is significant in various spiritual and religious traditions, it is not exclusively about Druidry. It is a common theme found in many belief systems around the world.

It is important to approach the topic of Druidry and ancient Celtic practices with an understanding that there are historical gaps and limited information available. Modern interpretations and practices may vary among individuals and groups who identify as Druids.

Pretty good response from Chat.The article is another example of NPR's bias in favor of New-Age stuff.
