Product Description

Synopsis

This is a complete guide to Druidism from the religion's leading expert. Legendary Druid Isaac Bonewits conducts a thorough excursus into the history, practice and appeal of Druidism. The most renowned Druid priest in North America, Isaac Bonewits has devoted the last four decades of his life to the study of the religion. Now, he imparts his wisdom through an elegant and thoughtful tour of ancient and modern Druidism, exploring both history and practice with impeccable scholarship. Bonewits provides a complete overview of Druidic history, from its origins to its extermination by the Romans and its triumphant Renaissance as an earth religion in the 20th century. With rare insight, he also delves into the future of Druidry and speculates on its role as a public Pagan religion. Complete with spells for love, prosperity and health, a wide-ranging bibliography and an indispensable list of Internet resources, "Bonewits's Essential Guide to Druidism" is a unique and engrossing introduction to a people and a spirituality that retain both relevance and fascination today.

5.0 out of 5 stars An instant classic and introductory primer on modern Druidism, 3 Sep 2006

By	Michael the Druid (Washington, DC United States) - See all my reviews

FIRST, THE QUICK EXECUTIVE REVIEW

Bonewits' Essential Guide to Druidism (BEGD) is a masterpiece in the vibrant growing field of modern Druidism. It is an indispensable library addition not only to the new folk interested in joining a Druid organization, but also to the veteran Druid who is teaching a study course at her/his own Grove. BEGD is a succinct and refined introduction (267pgs) to the variety of Druidisms now practiced in America and Britain. It clearly shows how they developed, compares their structure, and gives enticing examples of their words, sample rituals, and introduces some of their colorful leaders.

BEGD is the first book one should read on modern Druidism, but it is certainly not the last one; the reader's appetite should be whetted for yet deeper material afterwards. Indeed, after dispelling myths and correcting misconceptions and providing a framework of accepted facts, history and eye-opening comparisons; the BEGD's priceless bibliography and internet web-links illuminate several ways to pursue further trustworthy academic studies and also where to find 'inspirational' and contemporary works (and he explains the difference between the two). In conclusion, it will give prospective Druids (and less-well-connected old-timers) a firmer foundation of background information, reliable resources, and a view of the "big picture" of this fascinating religious movement. And now for the rather longer, more nuanced review that this book richly deserves...
