2.0 out of 5 stars eccentric, but interesting, 31 Oct 2002
By J. Charlesworth (Lewes, E. Sussex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
The Book of Druidry was one of the first mainstream books published on Druidry, and is essentially the posthumously published work of Ross Nichols, former chief of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids. This book is interesting from a historical perspective, but is most certainly not a Druid's bible, or sourcebook. Many of Nichols' ideas are fairly eccentric, are not supported by current archaeological evidence (Druids coming from Atlantis, or space), and are worked to fit in with his personal Christian ideals.
I'd still recommend this book, as long as one bears in mind that the written word is not a be-all or an end-all. It's not so much about the actual history of the Druids, as about imagining a history to tie in with neo-Druidry. Nichols was a friend of Gerald Gardner, founder of the Wiccan tradition, and in my mind this book basically does for Druidry what Gardner did for modern witchcraft. To be read with a hefty pinch of salt.

4.0 out of 5 stars A druids encyclopedia! Very informative., 11 Nov 2001
By A Customer
An exellent book, very well researched and written. The author (nuinn) took years to complete this work and it shows in the depth of information offered. The book is ideal for those with some knowledge of druid history and practice but may confuse the beginner. Contains references to ancient mounds, barrows and circles, photographs, info about the eight druid festivals and ways of celebrating them. No historian or druid should be without this book!

4.0 out of 5 stars A good place to start, 24 May 2008

This book contains a good synopsis of the modern Druid tradition as percieved by its author. It contains some good sections on reviewing the ancient sites, numerology - a recommended read with some good scholarly basis.
