Druid Druidical Druids Emblem Garland Holds Moon Order Priests Sceptre Smith
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this ancient image, two priests of the Druidical order are depicted, each embodying the mystical and spiritual significance of the Druidic religion in pre-Roman Britain. The Druids were an influential religious and intellectual class, revered for their knowledge of the natural world and their ability to interpret the will of the gods. On the left, a Druid priest holds an emblem of the Moon, a symbol of the cyclical rhythms of nature and the feminine divine. The Moon was believed to have a profound influence on the natural world, and Druids would perform rituals and ceremonies in honor of the Moon goddess to ensure the fertility of the land and the prosperity of their communities. The Druid on the right is identified as an Arch-Druid, the highest rank in the Druidical order. He wears a garland of oak leaves, a symbol of strength, endurance, and the life-giving power of the oak tree. In his hand, he holds a sceptre, a symbol of his authority and divine connection. The Arch-Druid was responsible for leading the religious and spiritual practices of the Druid community, and was believed to have the power to communicate directly with the gods. This image offers a glimpse into the rich and complex religious traditions of the ancient Druids, who played a significant role in the spiritual and cultural life of pre-Roman Britain. The Druids' deep connection to the natural world and their reverence for the divine continue to inspire and intrigue us today. Date: BCE (Before Common Era) Source: Mary Evans Prints Online.
