Druids By Michael Blakely

Who are they? “Knowing (or Finding) the Oak Tree” Earliest known records from 3rd century BCE

Druids in Celtic Society “In omnī Galliā eōrum hominum quī aliquō sunt numerō atque honōre genera sunt duo.”- De Bello Gallico Book 6.6 Priests Educators 20 year education Politics

Religious Rituals Pliny the Elder- Naturalis Historia Oak and Mistletoe Caesar- De Bello Gallico Wicker Man?

Discussion Despite claims, there is little archaeological evidence of the Celts performing human sacrifice. There is no evidence of any human sacrifice in the way that Caesar describes in De Bello Gallico. Keeping in mind that De Bello Gallico is a form of propaganda, how does this change the reliability of De Bello Gallico as a description of the Gauls? Pliny the Elder describes Druids as Magi. What does his word choice say about his perception of Druids?
