Hi, I'm Matt Cail and on behalf of Expert Village I'm going to show you how to put together
a druid costume today. Many things about the druid costume are lost to the changes of history
but some things are known. We do know about their language the Celtic lettering I have
already mentioned. And I do know that in some ways these were used in tattoos at least some
of the time or they were recorded down in other symbolic measures. So what we are going
to do is we are going to take some liberty with history and we are going to draw in Celtic
lettering on the forehead. And again we are doing this looking at our Celtic lettering
guide. And we are going to keep this in the center of the forehead. Why this position?
Well if you get down lower on the face you are basically going to have problems with
the beard smudging it off. If you get too high up on the forehead the top of our robe
is going to come down and smudge it off. So you are going to want to really keep in the
middle of the forehead. There is this nice narrow band where you are going to be able
to add in the Celtic lettering with a little risk of it being smudged away before the end
of the evening. So this is a great place and what I recommend is basically an inch between
each letter. You don't want to over do it. There is no need to have the whole alphabet
up here. Basically having room for about three to four different letters will really add
effect. When people look at this there is no way they are going to say that you are
a monk. They will automatically think you're representing something more old world. Definitely
a couple thousand years old. This language is not anything that is being written home
about today.
