Good book for understanding the foundations of DruidismBy Ron SpolarVery detailed overview of Druidry from its possible beginnings through age of darkness to renaissance. He goes into important authors; former chief Druids of OBOD; important trees; mythology. solar and agricultural celebrations; important monolith circles and more. This man is extremely knowledgeable. When explaining culture he compares and contrasts with Egyptian; Indian and more. I found myself having to reread certain passages to understand what he was saying. I wouldn't describe this as light reading. His measurements and insights into Stonehenge are overwhelming. Mr. Nichols does use the word "probably" frequently to string together some assumptions. I'm not knowledgeable enough to critique him but this book seems to be relevant three decades after his death. Many thanks to John Matthews and Phillip Carr-Gomm for pulling together Ross Nichols manuscripts; hand-written notes and whatever to assemble this book.This book is probably as important to the foundation of Druidism as 'Witchcraft Today " by Gerald Gardner is to Wicca. Naturally these two were friends.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Ross Nichols; the bringer of druidism back to life; wrote this book and it is an awesome; informative readBy BridgetThis is written by Ross Nichols who is the founder of bringing druidism back to life. He was great friends with Gerald gardener which I find to be very interesting. Nichols went on with druidism and Gardner went on developing Gardnerian area in Wicca. they were the best of friends but they went their separate ways because they believed differently. Ross Nichols road this book right before he died and it has a lot of great information.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. You better know everything already to understand Nichols.By CustomerI can hardly understand anything he's talking about. You actually have to know a ton of stuff already to understand the book. Not for those who haven't studied lots of "druid history;" such as it can be known; British history; archeology; etc.
