But the contradiction that upsets the 'New Agers' to whom Celtic mysticism appeals, is that it was also a very violent and highly superstitious society. <br /><br />The taking of the heads of enemies by the Celts is well established. Like many other societies who practice this, the belief was that the taking of the head represented the taking of the owner's power and attributes. It was almost a compliment to an enemy. And there is evidence that these heads were displayed from the pommels of nobles' saddles - and hung outside their doors...<br /><br />As to the druids we have very little idea what they believed, but it was certainly not close to the monotheism of Judaeo-Christianity.Journeymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06537094981931276738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35095812.post-40049386042849016342009-12-03T12:06:40.875+00:002009-12-03T12:06:40.875+00:00"From there on of course it is only a few sho..."From there on of course it is only a few short steps to the whole Arthurian circus - and Dan Brown."<br /><br />Priceless. All complete bunkum of course as you point out. Though the idea of the druids and celtic speaking peoples of these islandsa as barbarians who would prefer to kill you and stick your head on a spike than have a chat is also bunkum - from the two-thousand year old equivalent of Dan Brown, I suspect.Dave Semplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11876639425450919663noreply@blogger.com
