Book excerpt: Discover the fascinating world of the Druids and their unique religion that was imbued with life. While their faith was polytheistic, they recognized the supremacy of a divine being represented by the sun. Their veneration of the celestial bodies laid the foundation of their astronomical science, allowing them to regulate their festivals and religious ceremonies. Today, we can still learn from the Druids' knowledge and reverence for nature. Explore their wisdom and connect with ancient traditions that honor the power and eternal being of the universe. Originally published in 1920, Wright's work remains an evocative and compelling examination of the spiritual workers of early Britain. Dudley Wright (1868-1950) epitomized a multifaceted English intellectual, delving into realms ranging from history and literature to the occult and Islamic studies. Notably, he steered the helm of England's eminent Masonic publication, The Freemason, during a significant period. His professional journey was marked by a relentless pursuit of understanding across religious, theosophical, and esoteric domains. Wright's extensive literary output encompassed volumes and essays exploring diverse subjects including Buddhism, Judaism, paranormal phenomena like poltergeists, and even the enigmatic life of Jesus Christ.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The acclaimed author of Witches, Druids, and King Arthur presents a “lucid, open-minded” cultural history of the Druids as part of British identity (Terry Jones). Crushed by the Romans in the first century A.D., the ancient Druids of Britain left almost no reliable evidence behind. Historian Ronald Hutton shows how this lack of definite information has allowed succeeding British generations to reimagine, reinterpret, and reinvent the Druids. Hutton’s captivating book is the first to encompass two thousand years of Druid history and to explore the evolution of English, Scottish, and Welsh attitudes toward the forever ambiguous figures of the ancient Celtic world. Druids have been remembered at different times as patriots, scientists, philosophers, or priests. Sometimes portrayed as corrupt, bloodthirsty, or ignorant, they were also seen as fomenters of rebellion. Hutton charts how the Druids have been written in and out of history, archaeology, and the public consciousness for some 500 years, with particular focus on the romantic period, when Druids completely dominated notions of British prehistory. Sparkling with legends and images, filled with new perspectives on ancient and modern times, this fascinating cultural study reveals Druids as catalysts in British history.

Book excerpt: The Druid tradition lies at the heart of Western spirituality and today it is experiencing a renaissance unprecedented in its long history.

Today, Druidry offers a spiritual way that includes an understanding of healing, creativity and the need to place our love for the land at the centre of our lives. Drawn together in this collection are contributions from Druid Chiefs from Britain, France and America together with writers and mystics, healers and psychologists, professors and historians, which express the excitement and breadth of the modern Druid renaissance. This book is a celebration of the flowering of a tradition that is ancient yet ever-new.

Download or read book Rethinking the Ancient Druids written by Miranda Aldhouse-Green and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2021-09-15 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ancient Classical authors have painted the Druids in a bad light, defining them as a barbaric priesthood, who 2,000 years ago perpetrated savage and blood rites in ancient Britain and Gaul in the name of their gods. Archaeology tells a different and more complicated story of this enigmatic priesthood, a theocracy with immense political and sacred power. This book explores the tangible ‘footprint’ the Druids have left behind: in sacred spaces, art, ritual equipment, images of the gods, strange burial rites and human sacrifice. Their material culture indicates how close was the relationship between Druids and the spirit-world, which evidence suggests they accessed through drug-induced trance.

Download or read book What Do Druids Believe? written by Philip Carr-Gomm and published by Granta Books. This book was released on 2013-12-05 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Druidism evolved out of the tribal cultures of Britain, Ireland and western France over two thousand years ago. In the seventeenth century it experienced a revival, which has continued to this day. Contemporary Druids can now be found all over the world, and Druidry's appeal lies in its focus on a reverence for the natural world, a belief in the value of personal creativity and of developing a sense of communion with the powers of nature and the spirit. Druidry's startling recent growth lies in its broad appeal: some treat it as a philosophy, others as a religion, still others as a path of self-development. Druids can be Pagan, or can be followers of other faiths, and a Druid ceremony might include Christian and Buddhist Druids alongside Pagan and Wiccan Druids. Philip Carr-Gomm explains the practical value of following Druidism today, and examines its core beliefs and relevance to the contemporary issues that face us all.
