QUOTE FROM CHRISTIAN O'BRIEN ON THE DRUIDSIn Britain and on the Continent, the Druidical Schools were being formed which were to hold knowledge to be their hereditary right - to the extent that Julius Caesar was to write of them, that they were the interpreters of the mysteries of religion, the instructors of the youth, the determiners of all public and private controversies as also of rewards and punishments, and great proficients in the most sublime parts of philosophy, being such as could make discourses to their scholars concerning the stars and their motions, the magnitude of the Heaven and the Earth, the Nature of things, and the power and majesty of immortal gods - Christian O'Brien in Megalithic Odyssey. |
