The Druids were a class of pagan priests in Celtic Britain and other parts of Celtic Europe. Very little is know about them as they left no written account of themselves and the only evidence for them is in the writing of Greek and Roman scholars.
Greek and Roman writers did make many references to the use of human sacrifice by Druids. The modern view is that this is most likely Roman Propaganda intended to discredit the Druids.
Modern archaeological evidence suggests that human sacrifice was probably widespread throughout Celtic culture in general and not just by the Druids. Exactly who these groups were is not clear.
