Druids in Anglesey: Echoes of Ancient Wisdom
Anglesey—known as Ynys Môn in Welsh—was once the spiritual heartland of the Celtic Druids, the priestly class of ancient Britain. Revered as philosophers, healers, and keepers of sacred knowledge, the Druids played a central role in Celtic society, conducting rituals aligned with the natural world and the cycles of the sun and moon.
The Roman invasion in the 1st century AD led to the brutal suppression of the Druids on Anglesey, but their mystique has endured. Today, modern Druidry has re-emerged as a nature-based spiritual movement rooted in reverence for the land, ancestral tradition, and seasonal celebration.
Photographing Druids on Anglesey is to witness a living connection between ancient myth and modern identity—where ceremony, landscape, and legend intertwine in powerful, poetic ways.
