Continuing our theme of lost cultures, whatever
happened to the Druids? Were the omnipotent Romans successful
in their oppression of this knowledgeable and noble race?
Our journey for evidence takes us from Chester all the way
up through Ribchester and to Hexham on Hadrian’s Wall. Cue
nasty battle. We know from current conflict in Iraq that military
success doesn’t always do what it intended to do. These practices
had been continuing for centuries before the Romans arrived.
Megalithic tombs at Anglesey, a Druid stronghold for centuries,
provides some clues. If the Romans had managed to eradicate
these practices how come Druid tradition is still a way of
life for many people here in the Granada region? Oh if you
think you are excluded from such weirdness, did you celebrate
Halloween last year?
