Woad

[Celtic_Punk]

So my query here is directed at the academics, and those who know.. So don't spam this please.

Woad paint... Was its use isolated to the Isles? also was its use prevalent during EB's time or was it more of a later invention... and my main question. Was it PURELY meant for warfare? I have a hunch that it use in warfare was because of a religious thing(other than the religious event that was battle), and that its use was also in religious ceremonies outside of warfare. Like one gets dressed up for church or something.

thanks.
