The Druids

This video is the first in a new series of episodes on the origins of Wizardry in the British Isles. In this series we'll be investigating prehistoric, Celtic and Anglo-Saxon mythologies and histories, unveiling the story of the ancient magician.

When we conjure an image of a druid, what do we see? Perhaps it is a mysterious old man in a robe with a long white beard, standing over an altar in the middle of a stone circle, his hands held high as he hollers invocations at the gods, the restrained, writhing body of some unfortunate soul beneath him. A human sacrifice.

This is a popular image, one cemented in the collective consciousness. We often think of druids as an ancient, shady group of fanatics with secretive practices and even less defined beliefs, inclined to hold grand religious ceremonies to appease equally ambiguous and wrathful gods.
Is this impression in any way related to reality? What do we know about these mystical priests of Celtic culture?

In this episode of British Folklore, Myths and Legends, we explore the the myths, truths and horrors of the real Druids.
