How did Picts make blue war paint?

The ancients made a very good blue dye from the plant woad.

To achieve the dye, the aerial parts (above ground: leaves, flowers and stems) of the plant were finely chopped and packed tightly into a wide mouthed container.

Boiling water was added until the plant material was completely covered and the container was set aside for about an hour. Then the infusion (liquid) was strained off.

At this point lye was added and the mixture was beaten with a whisk or similar implement for about fifteen minutes or so and the mixture would have been set aside to settle.

Every day or so, any of the clear or very pale liquid that rose to the surface was poured off, until the remaining liquid was very thick and very dark.

This concentrated liquid was poured into a wide pan and slowly evaporated off.

The resulting dye was a dark blue powder that was usually mixed with animal fat to make a blue body paint.

Please NOTE This process was messy and the dye was permanent, so those making the dye carried the stains for quite a while.

Are Celts barbaric why?

Celts were not in-fact barbaric. yes, there was alot of clan fighting in the later 15th-16th centries between one or two clans, but then again alot of countries all around the world fought amogst themselves and still do. People think that they were particularly barbaric in around 43AD and beyond, but the Scots were only defending their country from people attempting to invade at the time (the Romans) As for the heads on spikes story we don't know if that's actually true, but if it was they would not have been in gardens or houses as trophies in particular, but as warnings to what happens if you mess with Celts. Romans set out crosses with crucified people hanging outside major roads and English hung criminals on chains on city walls.

Celts were not as barbaric as people make them out to be. I am decended from Celtic blood, and am positive that they were just trying to survive at the time, and behaving like all other races of peoples at the time.

hope this helps.
