Who were the Druids and what was their cult?

Who were the Druids and what was their cult? The Greek and Roman sources describe them as super barbarians in a disregarding and biased way. Archeology reveals something about them in a more objective way.

Among the findings: remains that allude to their ways of divination, in wooden sticks and the way they fell on the floor (what is called in the Bible “magicians” קוסמים kosmim, because wooden sticks are “toothpicks”, קיסם kesam), in the texture of stains, in the flight of birds, etc. In their healing methods and the status of the healers And of course, the icing on the cake: a human sacrifice drugged with a mixture containing mistletoe, victims were usually of enemies whose remains were used as decoration for war temples. The Romans used to exaggerate their description and cruelty, probably as a dislike of a custom they used themselves in the past and as an identification with a “religious reform” that distinguished them from the barbarians at some point, and made them more cultured in their own eyes with a philosophical influence.
