Roman Annihilation of Druids and the Rise of Christianity
The historical suppression of European magic began with the Roman Empire's targeted annihilation of the Druids on the island of Anglesey following the Iceni revolt led by Boudicca. While the Romans were initially religiously tolerant, they recognized the Druids as the essential legal and spiritual backbone of Celtic society. This campaign evolved into a 1,500-year spiritual cleansing after Constantine the Great converted the Roman Empire to Christianity, leading to the systematic destruction of pagan statues and temples.
