Celt, Druid and Culdee IV

Illuminated manuscript from the book of Kells

In Ireland the Druids were referred to as Magi and just like in England, many of the Arch Druids became Arch Bishops.

They were treated favourably on the whole apart from a deplorable incident around Saint Patrick’s time, with the Bards continuing to hold their half-yearly sessions in Limerick right up until 1746.
