Barach

Celtic

A chief druid of Ulster. Barach served as chief druid to Conchobar Mac Nessa in the later part of the king’s life.

It was Barach who interpreted the signs of the darkening sky, and told Conchobar about the death of Jesus Christ. Conchobar became enraged over Christ’s death and furiously began hacking a tree, until he was overcome and died from an old wound to his head.
