A day in the life of a Celtic Druid - Philip Freeman

Join the Celtic druid Camma in her village as she conducts religious rites, serves as a healer, and mediates conflict between tribes.

--

As the sun rises in 55 BCE, Camma lays two pigeons on the altar at the center of her village. She wrings the birds’ necks and cuts them open to examine their entrails for divine messages. Camma is a druid. She conducts religious rites, serves as a judge, healer, and scholar, teaches children and mediates conflict between Celtic tribes. Philip Freeman outlines a day in the life of a druid.

Teacher, judge, doctor, mediator, priestess.... she's kinda overworked. I hope the pay is well.

The Chieftains standing on their shields gave me such a flashback to Astérix & Obélix.

Romans: *disregard druids’ authority*

Post Scriptum
The Roman senators back at home were very off at the last cocktail party.

I loved this part, especially the reference to the difficulties in providing for his troops Caesar encountered in Gaul.

The Celtic genocide is probably one of the most under appreciated tragedies in all of history. Thank the Gods we have the Eddas to preserve Germanic/Teutonic culture, but there’s really just nothing to speak of the Druidic culture.

"Wild boar and mistletoe soup on a medium heat, caramelize your onion with a clove of garlic, add a pinch of salt and ground back pepper, sauté your wild boar and slowly add water, drop in fresh mistletoe berry to taste simmer for 20 minutes and serve."


Sounds like something I would see from Gordon Ramsay.

There has to be a part 2, this was too good to go on a cliff hanger.

[moonstonepearl]

This was such an interesting set up. What a great way to show us the life of someone who lived in the past; by giving a story of a first hand account perspective.

3:24 lol, read the message on the letter

[carloscardona]

did Gaul leaders really stand on shields with one clansmen holding it to show their rule? I thought it was just some goofy fun in Asterix
