  An update on the Celtic-Druidic Belieftoids and Factoids root sources Project: The overall files downloaded are about 39GB. I now have Bios, and complete surviving translated works of most, if not all Greek and Roman authors. While I had many scores of all available scanned books and articles both pre and post-WWII already I have added a lot of post WWII Druid articles, with a 25-page review and downloading from a Yandex WWW search. Of course, most are rehashes but bits of gold can still be found. Categorizing and Hashtags are still being fine-tuned. The Blog that is the project Homebase has many units already paged but needs a great deal of work. The goal will be one small factoid or Beliefttoid per bog. With quotes of its oldest found root publications, and then perhaps citations of some of the older books sharing these ideas or claims. Happy or sad, my book list is very large on this.

GOLDEN SICKLE

  Pliny the Elder offers the only complete depiction of druidic ceremonial practice. During a time of fasting, brookweed and flowering  Selago  were gathered in meticulous fashion. Six days after the full moon, two massive bulls, muscles rippling beneath their white skin, were prepared for sacrifice. The rite started with a white-robed druid who is said to use a golden sickle (more likely gilded bronze) to cut a hearty mistletoe stem from an oak, and the sacrifice commenced.
