The Ides Of March


March 15, 44 BC.
Julius Caesar is assassinated.


That probably sounds like ancient history to you, but as we look at the journey of humanity, and read about the life and times of Julius Caesar (July 100 BC - March 15, 44 BC) - the patterns are all the same - the struggle for fame and power, secrets and lies, pillaging and plundering (often wondering), womanizing, the insanity of it all.

They ruled with an iron fist - decisions by Druid priests were final and irrefutable. Their penalties were swift and severe, with many individual Celts and Britons banished from contact with civilization. Many aspects of Druidic culture surfaced in the formation of Celtic Christianity. Read more ...
