Druid Symbols. Arguably, most early Celtic symbols could also be referred to as “Druid symbols“ In this section, however, we will describe those most commonly associated with the various branches of modern Druidry.
These can be divided into two main areas: ancient Celtic symbols associated with Druids, and recently created emblems of modern Druid organizations. Some of the more well known symbols associated with Druidry include: Runic alphabet. Runology is the study of the runic alphabets, runic inscriptions, runestones, and their history. Runology forms a specialised branch of Germanic linguistics. The earliest runic inscriptions date from around AD 150. The characters were generally replaced by the Latin alphabet as the cultures that had used runes underwent Christianisation, by approximately AD 700 in central Europe and AD 1100 in Northern Europe.
However, the use of runes persisted for specialized purposes in Northern Europe.
