DRUIDS

Druids were the ancient Celtic order of priests. The name druid is linked to the Greek drus and Welsh derw, meaning ‘oak’. Their symbol was the serpents egg and they considered eating eggs to be taboo. Their beliefs are known to have included reincarnation and they have been linked to the teachings of Pythagarus. The Druids worshiped in sacred groves, the most important being on the Isle of Anglesey - Inis Mon. The order and their power over the British people was greatly feared by the Romans who considered the suppression of the Druids essential to ensure their successful conquest of Britain.
