NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) – The fun rolled out uptown Wednesday with the Krewe of Druids.
The krewe was established in 1998 and the ancient druids take their name from the priest class of ancient Celtic societies who connected their people with the gods and nature.
Another cool tidbit: The Krewe of Druids protect their true identity at all times, including the Arch Druid whose identity is never revealed.
Next up was the Krewe of Nyx.
Nyx is an all-female krewe who first rolled out in 2012.
Nyx was the goddess of night and her name, Synonymous with night, describes how her dark light falls from the stars.
She dictates to men and also to the gods.
It’s said even Zeus was captivated by Nyx and wanted to keep her on his good side.
