Saintine is a translated account of ancient beliefs and traditions written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the mythology surrounding the Rhine River, exploring the histories of early settlers, Druids, and various deities associated with nature and human existence. Through a detailed examination of rituals, tree worship, and the intertwining of Celtic and Germanic beliefs, it paints a vivid picture of the spiritual life of those who inhabited the region." "The opening of the narrative introduces the Rhine as a pivotal figure in the development of early civilizations in Europe, highlighting the river's journey through Germany as a central route for trade and migration. It describes the region's prehistoric inhabitants—the Celts—and their belief in an array of deities governing all aspects of nature, suggesting a spiritual connection to the trees that lined the banks. The text also hints at the Druids, who played an essential role in shaping the religious practices and societal norms of the time, setting the stage for the conflicts and transformations religion endured as various cultures interacted along the Rhine's shores."
