Water was very important in several early religions, including that of the Celts. It was seen as a gateway between the living and the dead. Rites and sacrifices were carried out by priests, some known as Druids. The Celts did not see their gods as having a human shape until late in the Iron Age. Celtic Shrines were situated in remote areas such as hilltops, groves and also near lakes or springs.
