Firstly lads i apologise if this topic has been brought up before but after painstakingly searching just about everywhere i cant find a single mention anywhere.Ive a few questions to throw out on this.
So here we go,what plant exactly was this woad made from?? Was it a case of taking the specific plant and smearing it all over or was there a ritual application?? Was the use of woad limited to the peoples of Britannia or was it an imported idea from the continent?? Finally has anyone a time period for its use(ie when it was first mentioned or when it died out?)
Im sorry for bombarding ye with so many questions but I cant find any sources on the matter yet and its beginning to get at me.
Any views will be gratefully accepted.

Out of sight of subject shores, we kept even our eyes free from the defilement of tyranny. We, the most distant dwellers upon earth, the last of the free, have been shielded till today by our very remoteness and by the obscurity in which it has shrouded our name.
