Overview

It's not surprising that the Druid Way is one of the fastest growing religions in the world. It's one we, in the West, all used to follow. Thrown into turmoil by the Roman Empire and then squashed by monotheism, it has nevertheless always survived in some form. But it is poorly understood and often dismissed, rarely treated seriously in religious discourse. Graeme K. Talboys offers an intelligent and well-researched exposition of the origins, history, metaphysic, doctrine and practice of modern Druids. A thorough exploration of Celtic history and beliefs is followed by an analysis of their view and its modern relevance. Massively comprehensive but very accessible, all students of religion and serious seekers will find this the definitive guide to what Druid means and how to be one today.

Reviews

'Graeme finds the words that so many of us have difficulty in finding. It's written for those who would like to learn more of Druidry, I think that anyone on the Druid path would also gain a great deal from reading this book.' - Pauline Kennedy Allan, joint co-ordinator of Caer Clud and organiser of DruidCon; 'Enjoyable and revelatory...goes into closely argued debate on the nature of belief, religion and the Celtic metaphysic. Should be on library shelves-public and academic - and on the personal shelves of all those who already call themselves Druid.' - Liz Murray, Liaison officer, Council of British Druid Orders
