Description

There have been many questions surrounding druidism; yet no one place to look for answers-- until now! Journey through a world of sacred springs and holy wells; stone circles and majestic mountains; the beauty of the natural world was the inspiration for the druids. Read classical accounts from Julius Caesar; then examine the druidic revival in the 18th and 19th centuries; with its essays on everything from moral doctrines to charts and magic. Learn what the sacred geometry of megalithic sights has to do with cosmology. Unveil the secrets of druidic initiation ceremonies and priesthood. These historical stories and essays will dispel some of the wilder theories still circulating; but also prove fertile soil upon which a fascination with the mystical world of druidism will grow and flourish.
