While druids featured prominently in many medieval Irish sources, they were far rarer in their Welsh counterparts. Unlike the Irish texts, the Welsh term commonly seen as referring to the druids, dryw, was used to refer purely to prophets and not to sorcerers or pagan priests. Historian Ronald Hutton noted that there were two explanations for the use of the term in Wales: the first was that it was a survival from the pre-Christian era, when dryw had been ancient priests, while the second was that the Welsh had borrowed the term from the Irish, as had the English (who used the terms dry and drycraeft to refer to magicians and magic respectively, most probably influenced by the Irish terms.)<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Druid Druid]</ref> | While druids featured prominently in many medieval Irish sources, they were far rarer in their Welsh counterparts.

==Celtic Church or Nazarenes== | |||
The authentic [[Celtic Essene]] groups from [[Hyperborea]] were the progenitors of the original [[Nazarene Christos Teachings]], preserving the knowledge of the original Diamond Sun templar locations, male and female [[Christos-Sophia]] lines, historical and angelic human genetic records for Earth while she was under dark siege. The Nazarene style of Christianity was also known as the [[Celtic Church]]. | |||

There is archaeological evidence from western Europe that has been widely used to back up the idea that human sacrifice was performed by the Iron Age Celts. Mass graves found in a ritual context dating from this period have been unearthed in Gaul, at both Gournay-sur-Aronde and Ribemont-sur-Ancre in what was the region of the Belgae chiefdom. The excavator of these sites, Jean-Louis Brunaux, interpreted them as areas of human sacrifice in devotion to a war god, although this view was criticized by another archaeologist, Martin Brown, who believed that the corpses might be those of honoured warriors buried in the sanctuary rather than sacrifices. | There is archaeological evidence from western Europe that has been widely used to back up the idea that human sacrifice was performed by the Iron Age Celts. We believe these were attempts at mass genocide of the Celtic-Druid peoples that practiced [[Nazarene Christos Teachings]] by the invaders forces.

Various recurring themes emerge in a number of the Greco-Roman accounts of the druids, including that they performed animal and even human sacrifice, believed in a form of reincarnation, and held a high position in Gaulish society. Next to nothing is known for certain about their cultic practice, except for the ritual of oak and mistletoe as described by Pliny the Elder.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Druid Druid]</ref> | Various recurring themes emerge in a number of the Greco-Roman accounts of the druids, including that they performed animal and even human sacrifice, believed in a form of reincarnation, and held a high position in Gaulish society.
