    Speaking of Druids one of the prominent druids in Irish mythology was Cathbad the chief Druid at the house of Conchobar Mac Nessa, King of Ulster. Druids had the gifts of prophecy, magic, wizardry and learning. The main story that I remember Cathbad from was Deirdre of the Sorrows. Before Deirdre was born Cathbad prophesied that she would grow up to be very beautiful but would cause much blood shed. Anyway its like an Irish Romeo and Juliet.

    Deirdre was said to have green-irises stormy eyes and blond hair eye blinding and the colouring of her lover Naoise was hair as black as a raven, skin as white as snow, and cheeks as red as blood.

    The Romans called them Picts probably due to their tattoos but what did they call themselves?
