Product Description

Review
'Graeme finds the words that so many of us have difficulty in finding. It's written for those who would like to learn more of Druidry, I think that anyone on the Druid path would also gain a great deal from reading this book.' - Pauline Kennedy Allan, joint co-ordinator of Caer Clud and organiser of DruidCon; 'Enjoyable and revelatory...goes into closely argued debate on the nature of belief, religion and the Celtic metaphysic. Should be on library shelves-public and academic - and on the personal shelves of all those who already call themselves Druid.' - Liz Murray, Liaison officer, Council of British Druid Orders

Product Description
It's not surprising that the Druid Way is one of the fastest growing religions in the world. It's one we, in the West, all used to follow. Thrown into turmoil by the Roman Empire and then squashed by monotheism, it has nevertheless always survived in some form. But it is poorly understood and often dismissed, rarely treated seriously in religious discourse. Graeme K. Talboys offers an intelligent and well-researched exposition of the origins, history, metaphysic, doctrine and practice of modern Druids. A thorough exploration of Celtic history and beliefs is followed by an analysis of their view and its modern relevance. Massively comprehensive but very accessible, all students of religion and serious seekers will find this the definitive guide to what Druid means and how to be one today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, 22 Oct 2005
By A Customer
I was lucky enough to read the final draft of this work and was hugely impressed. It manages to be scholarly without being stuffy and is much more accurate than some academic works I've come across on paganism.

It's not a how-to book, but an involved discussion of the origins and day to day practice of modern Druids. The author wanted people to understand modern Druids better and perhaps dispel some of the daft ideas people have (some of which lead to outright prejudice). If they take the time to read this book they will. It won't convince the bigots that pagans are somehow evil, but anyone with an open mind will come away from this book a great deal wiser.

4.0 out of 5 stars Way of the Druid, 30 Sep 2006
By Trevor Greenfield (West Sussex, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Graeme Talboys is to be congratulated on the writing of such an effortlessly readable yet intellectually satisfying account of the history, nature and practice of the modern Druidic tradition. This book is written for Druids and non-Druids alike and both will learn from it. The book begins with a succinct but useful history of the Celts and then proceeds through philosophy, cosmology, ritual and practice. One of the most difficult aspects in writing a book of this type is getting the structure right - taking the reader through the various aspects of Druidy in such a way that they receive the right information in the right quantity and in the right order; this is the book's strength. The writing at times seems to suggest a preference for solitary practice over the institutional. His section on modern organisations could have offered the reader more information on contemporary orders. It was interesting to note that the Bibliography contains no books by either Philip Carr Gomm or Emma Restall Orr, both leading figures in major contemporary Druid communities. The Way of The Druid is an excellent addition to contemporary writing on modern Druidry and I recommend it to anyone who wants to know more about its beliefs rituals and practice.

3.0 out of 5 stars Way of the Druid, 20 Jun 2006
By Roanne (brighton, sussex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This book is the best book on Druidry of its kind. It is not a practical book on how to be a Druid. Talboys leaves that to his other two excellent books on that subject. This book goes into great detail of what Druidry is now, what it was in the past and what it is like to be a Druid. He leaves nothing out, he answers all the questions you could ever ask on the subject, in truth he knows his Druidry. This book should grace the bookshelf of anyone who is interested in the Druid or Pagan way. Well done! it fill a big gap
