DRUIDS and the largest act of HUMAN SACRIFICE in Britain
Druids are often thought of as peaceful and in touch with nature, but there was much Greco-Roman narrative to suggest these people, the leaders of the Celtic tribes, were barbaric savages. In this video I'll look at the narratives about the Druids, and will interpret a passage by Tacitus that would suggest they took part in the largest ritual of human sacrifice we know about in Britain. 🌍 Links Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/crecganford Twitter: https://twitter.com/crecganford Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/crecganford/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crecganford/?hl=en Mythology Database: https://www.mythologydatabase.com/ 🧡 Please respect other's cultures and beliefs.
