Zusammenfassung
Abstract: The history of Neodruidry is a convoluted journey from antiquity to social media. This research assesses the establishment and development of Neodruidry and examines how TikTok created and continues to create new versions of the religion. The main objective examines whether the TikTok portrayal of Neodruidry is a continuation of the historically broad religion or if the TikTok representation is a new version of Neodruidry. There is a clear ideological difference between the TikTok version of Neodruidry and the formal religious ideologies. Nevertheless, the Neodruidry of TikTok still fulfills the same functions of the online Neopagan religions despite its perpetuation of false Druidic information.
