"[Matthews's] volume is well researched and well documented, and he clearly states that much of what we 'know' is the result of romanticized and/or biased information. This is an exceptionally fine resource for researchers in history, religion, and sociology. Highly recommended...".-- "Library Journal. "Most of us know Druids as white-cloaked Celtic practitioners of a mystical faith....There's more to Druidism, of course--much more, judging from John Matthews's authoritative "The Druid Source Book ..".-- "Publisher's Weekly . 384 pages, 20 b/w illus., 6 x 9.

If you thought Druids existed only in the past, like some forgotten relic -- think again! Though much that is written on the subject might give that impression, this rich and full collection of articles offers contemporary visions of the Druidic belief system, history, and rituals. Return to the source, passing over material that's filled with speculation, fantasy, or downright trickery. Instead, examine the geometry of megalithic sites built by proto-Druids; early Celtic literature packed with references; and even folklore. Extracts from early manuscripts relate the adventures of renowned Druid warriors in Ireland. Through legends and historical accounts, a description of Druids function in society and magical powers emerges -- including the ability to produce insanity in those who had "madman's wisps' flung in their faces! Great speculation focuses on the Druids' origins, and several theories on the matter appear here. The most fascinating information explores the cultural side of Druid life, including bardism (method of instruction), theology and rituals, and festivals.
