Natively known as the Daoithe (pronounced as ‘dree’) who were the religious leaders of pre-Christian Ireland and what were their real roles in Irish society? In this 3 part documentary, we take a deep dive into the Druids of Irish mythology, and contrast them not only with their brethren on Britain and Gaul, but with later accounts by Church writers in the early medieval period.
This video owes a special thanks to the site managers of the Rathcroghan and Uisneach complexes, Dr Daniel Curley and Dr Francez Cody. You can find more information on their respective complexes at the links below:
