Now that you mention it, I do remember something about white robes. As
for priestesses, wasn't Boudicca (spelling probably wrong, I'd have to
check a book that's not with me right now), a Druidess? Not necessarily
a priestess, I guess. But she was a leader of her people.

What is the symbolism of the bow, in the context of the other elements
of the Wogan performance? It is definitely not a Christian element, but
was central to the imagery of the performance.
