The most comprehensive survey of Druidry available, from earliest history to the current renaissance--including a study of the shaping of druidic ideas, their principal deities and myths, their learning and social organization, and more. The Book of Druidry was essentially the life work of the author (published posthumously) and represents an attempt to catalogue and share his and his contemporaries' knowledge of the ancient Druids. It functions as an encyclopaedia or almanac with the reader able to look-up items of particular interest (e.g. sacred sites such as Stonehenge) or read the book straight-through, cover-to-cover.
