Exploring the World of the Druids by Miranda Aldhouse-Green
Written by one of the foremost scholars of the Celtic Iron Age, this survey explores Druidic history from the ancient world to the present, including chapters on Druids and Celtic religion, female Druids, Druids in myth and the resurrection of Druidic beliefs in the seventeenth century. From extracts from the writings of Classical authors – including the only first-hand accounts of the ancient Druids - to the latest archaeological evidence for Druidic sacrifice the book covers all aspects of their world and the ways in which it has been revived on modern centuries. There are specially commissioned reconstruction drawings showing the Druids, their ceremonies and sacrifices, a timeline chronicling the history of the Druids, a gazetteer of museums to visit plus a worldwide directory of modern Druid organizations and a guide to further reading.
