EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from ancient Britain, circa 50 AD, a group of Druid priests, the highly revered spiritual leaders of the Briton people, are seen collecting mistletoe in a tranquil woodland setting. Mistletoe was considered a sacred plant by the Druids, believed to bring happiness and cure illnesses. The Druids would carefully cut the mistletoe using golden sickles, ensuring that the plant fell into the waiting arms of their assistants below. The Druids' reverence for the mistletoe is juxtaposed by the somber scene of two white oxen being led away for sacrifice in the background. The oxen, symbolizing strength and fertility, were an essential part of the Druidic faith and were sacrificed during their ceremonies to ensure the continuity of life and the favor of the gods. The Druids, known for their wisdom and soothsaying abilities, were deeply connected to nature and the cycles of the seasons. Their beliefs and practices, rooted in the land and its bounty, shaped the spiritual and cultural fabric of ancient Britain. This moment in time offers a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of the Druids, a fascinating and enigmatic civilization that continues to captivate our imaginations.
