Quote:Rude Britannia! Top druid says Sky Atlantic's new Roman TV epic is an insult to peace-loving Celtic holy men
It is Britain’s most talked-about – and grisly – new TV drama, portraying an ancient past when our nation was ruled by murderous, drug-fuelled, psychopathic druids who believed in black magic and human sacrifice.
And modern-day druids aren’t too happy with their depiction on sex-and-sorcery epic Britannia.
‘It’s fictitious nonsense,’ said Adrian Rooke. ‘They are just trying to get ratings – it’s not based on factual evidence.’
Mr Rooke, of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids, added: ‘This bears no resemblance to modern-day druidry nor the druidry of the past.
'They were storytellers and a force for communal good.’
Dennis Andrew, of the Dorset Grove order, added: ‘Any portrayal of ancient druids as evil psychotic murders is purely fanciful.
They were a priesthood, extremely powerful figures who served as king-makers and magistrates, not drunken, rampaging, drug-taking dark worshippers.
‘And there is no evidence human sacrifice was ever involved. It’s ridiculous. It gives us modern druids an even worse name.’

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
