Yes,I know what you think-woads with their fancy tattoos?
But woads were plebes , already nobility in ancient Britain
were trading armor from continent.Britain has no sources of iron and thats why that metal could only be got from meteorites
so iron was kind of magic substances they believed that it would protect you from the creatures of the Otherworld like often cruel to mortals sidhe-Celtic high elves. Yes I know many would like to live in Tolkien's chat thinking that elves are human friends ,forget it -this a modern construct.
Anywhere yes woads tattoed themselves believing in defencive capabilities of magic tattoes,well,swift Roman occupation
quickly destroyed those believs.
