Celts had a primitive alphabet called Ogham but they wouldn't use it, because everything worth

knowing should be remembered. There was a ban on writing. Druids had all

access to the knowledge.

Social Structure of a Celtic Tribe:

-Ruled by either King or a Queen.

-Farmers and Merchants (Middle Class)

-Working Class -Slaves

-Two groups of people close to the Monarch

a)    Dmids - spiritual leaders, responsible for rituals, education and knowledge (Knowledge is

Power). To become a druid one had to study for twenty years. Druids would advise the ruler.

Women could also be druids. Celts believed that soul resided in the head, so to make your enemy

really dead you had to remove his head(Common image- a Celtic warrior riding with a head

strapped to his saddle.). Humań sacrifice is common too

b) The Fianna or Fenians. They are a sort of Celtic Royal Bodyguards. Sort of. Fionn MacCumhaill or Finn MacCool - most known Fenian. In fact they were so popular that they

were written down. Believed to be a prototype of King Arthur.
