The sign refers to the Celtic priesthood of Gaul and Britain and a religion which venerated the oak and mistletoe, believed in immortality and reincarnation and probably practised human sacrifice. Elsewhere such pubs were the meeting place of the United Ancient Order of Druids, a friendly society founded in 1781.
