Overview

The much anticipated final volume of the Pheryllt Trilogy edited by Joshua Free. In ancient Keltia, the Druid Order consisted of learned ones, those educated in Bardic Arts: cosmology and spirituality, natural-native history and geology, legendary history of heroes and mythology, healing and botanical medicine, astrononmy and astronology, and of course 'magic' - all of which are hidden in lines of Bardic verse and the researches of those who study them. As primary preservers of Celtic and Druid Mysteries, it is no wonder that Bardic Druids were considered the transmitter or catalyst of -awen- the essence, Divine Spark or spirit of inspiration that the Greeks termed 'gnosis'. It is to the 'ebb and flow' of the -awen field- that the magical and poetic genius of the Bard is attributed. Many antiquated scholarly references to the Books of Fferyllt or the Pheryllt themselves may be found (included or paraphrased in the Book of Pheryllt trilogy series facsmile edited by Joshua Free). Whatever bits trickle down from classical literature and antiquarian druidism to satisfy a modern thirst for the 'pheryllt paradigm' have been collected together in one place - a sacred book once thirded and now made whole - forming a complete sourcebook trilogy of undefiled lore. Whatever name, guise, or title we might attribute to the 'Body of the Dragon' - and we have chosen PHERYLLT - this same lore (originally accessible to few) serves as basis for the majority of Celtic and neo-Druidic revival of the past few centuries; whether or not it has been given due credit as such. Where a thick scholarly aura accumulated from years of controversy may surround the 'authenticity' of some of these manuscripts, valid substitution shortages have bound the modern revival specifically to these available texts and the tradition gleaned from them.
