I think that there are only one or two graves that may have been those of druids, and no golden sickle in them :(
However, we know there were druids in Anglesey, but no evidence they were wiped out there.
Except the testimony of Tacitus, Agricola's son-in-law, who says that they were.

Circ noted that Simon21's last post was showing up on the index but not on the board. I went in to check and it was true. However, it did show up on my list so I have quoted it and posted it here. Please let us know if a post of yours does not show up after you submit it.

Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.
