News: Real Druids
|
I'm sorry, I just cannot accept that as any more historically accurate to Celtic beliefs and practices than I can Robert E. Howard's Conan series.
We only have second hand information (via Caesar) that there were sacrifices as such. Such later scribed tomes as The Yellow Book of Lecan, The Red Book of Hergest, and the Black Book of Carmarthen (some of the primary sources for Celtic Reconstructionists) don't hold any accounts of divinatory sacrifice like this, to the best of my knowledge. Even if they did, it would certainly be immoral and impractical to conduct such things in this day and age so it becomes a moot point, as those following a Druid Path in the Twenty First Century wouldn't even consider such a thing.
We do not have an unbroken and untainted line of information as to what the Ancient Druids did or believed. We have accounts that were written down centuries after, accounts from people that did not understand the different society from their own that they were observing, archaeological evidence showing what "might" have been, and some surviving local customs that can be related to the early Celts. We have nothing that directly shows us the thoughts and beliefs of these ancient peoples. We have no first hand account, such as a personal diary, of these peoples. I will honestly say that I wish we did!
Even the term "Celt" (again, stemming from Caesar's writings about a tribe in Gaul called the Keltoi) which used to be accepted as a specific race of people has been shown to represent a culture rather than genetics.
