Druid
Druid A member of the ruling caste of the Gallic
CELTS. Knowledge of the Druids is derived chiefly from the hostile accounts of them in the Roman authors Julius
CAESAR and
TACITUS. Caesar reports that they exercised judicial and priestly functions, worshipped in groves (clearings in forests), and cut mistletoe from the oak tree (sacred to them) with a golden sickle. The religion was stamped out by the Romans to prevent its resistance to Roman rule.
