Archdruid Ceremonial Robe

The most striking adornment of the Archdruid was the iodhan moran, or breastplate of judgment, which possessed the mysterious Power of strangling any who made an untrue statement while wearing it. The Druidic tiara, or anguinum, its front embossed with a number of points to represent the sun’s rays, indicated that the priest was a personification of the rising sun. On the front of his belt the Archdruid wore the liath meisicith - a magic brooch, or buckle in the center of which was a large white stone. To this was attributed the power of drawing the fire of the gods down from heaven at the priest’s command. Image taken from Druids and Druidism published by American Sunday-School Union, 1850 (cropped and cleaned).
