Pictish religion

The Pictish religion, practiced by the ancient Picts of Scotland, was likely centered on nature worship, ancestor veneration, and possibly shamanistic traditions. They revered natural features like rivers and forests, and used symbols such as animals, symbols, and carved stones to convey spiritual beliefs. While direct written records are scarce, archaeological finds suggest a spiritual view interconnected with the landscape, with rituals possibly involving offerings and ceremonies. Their religion was integral to their identity, shaping myths, art, and societal practices, but many details remain speculative due to limited historical evidence.
