Order of Druids

The Order of Druids (OD) is a fraternal and benefit organisation founded in England, in 1858 after a schism with the United Ancient Order of Druids.

Its motto is integritas pro rupe nobis.

The order's emblem is a Druid with a harp and a Celtic warrior with the national emblems of United Kingdom, Australia, India and the United States.

During the Victorian era, the most important section was the Sheffield Equalized Independent Druids.

After World War II and the generalization of the welfare state, it faded, and the last lodges closed during the 1970s[1] or turned into insurance companies like the Sheffield Equalized Independent Druids whose became the Sheffield Mutual.
