abstract in English:	The ample cultural representation of Druids is dominated by the image of Druids as an elderly, white-clad sage; an image that references the Antique sources which describe Druids as mages, philosophers, the enlightened barbarians. Ancient sources also mention female Druids and priestesses of the Celtic tribes. Druidesses appear in literature, art and opera, as well as in the beliefs of modern adherents of Druidry. This article examines chosen gender aspects involved in the formation of the Druidic myth and changes thereof, beginning with Antique accounts, through the cultural reception of the Druidess myth, and ending with the role of women in modern religious movements related to Druidry.
