In the Celtic and Roman world birds were seen as messengers from the divine and bringers of good or ill omen. Druids, the spiritual leaders of the Celts, revered birds for their ability to soar high above the earth and communicate with the divine. They believed that their songs and flight patterns held hidden meanings.
