EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts a Druid priest, as imagined by the influential 18th-century antiquarian William Stukeley. Stukeley, a key figure in the study of ancient British history and religion, fervently believed that the Druids of Britain originated as a Phoenician colony. In this print, the Druid is shown wearing the traditional robes and sandals, carrying a staff adorned with an axe head and holding a sprig of mistletoe. The Phoenician connection is suggested by the staff's distinctive top, reminiscent of the Phoenician caduceus. Stukeley's theories, published in his seminal work "The History of Ancient Britain" in 1740, were widely influential in shaping the modern understanding of Druidism. His zealous preaching of their Phoenician origins, as the descendants of Abraham, added an exotic and mystical allure to the Druids, fueling the popular fascination with their magic and religious practices." "This image, with its rich historical context, offers a glimpse into the intriguing world of Druidism as it was perceived during the 18th century. The Druids, once thought to be long-lost relics of a distant past, were now reimagined as the descendants of a venerable and ancient civilization, imbued with the power of magic and the wisdom of the ages." "The Druid's expression, intense and focused, speaks to the deep spiritual connection he holds with the natural world. The mistletoe, a sacred symbol of Druidic lore, is held aloft, a testament to their reverence for the cycles of nature and the interconnectedness of all living things." "This evocative print, with its intricate details and atmospheric setting, invites us to explore the enigmatic world of the Druids and the rich tapestry of history that surrounds them.
