This introduction to modern Druidism provides a comprehensive
overview of today's Pagan religion and philosophy, whose roots go
back to the Celtic tribal societies of ancient Britain and Ireland.
The author covers Druidism's mythology, history and important
figures and its beliefs and moral system, and describes practices,
rituals and ceremonies. A gazetteer of important sacred sites in
Europe and America is included, along with information about modern
Druid groups and organizations.
Celtic tradition is at the heart of many aspects of popular modern
pagan paths, and this book brings those aspects together to explore
the relevance of a 2000-year-old culture in modern-day society. A
Modern Celt looks at the Tuatha de Danaan, who they were and their
continuing relevance in the 21st century. It looks at several of
the key figures and the legends surrounding them, and considers how
they relate to real life, everyday events, and the power they can
lend us to deal with our own problems. The wheel of the year brings
Celtic festivals and a modern calendar together, and these corner
posts of the year help us understand the world as something that
existed long before humans arrived, and hopefully will continue to
exist long after we are gone. A Modern Celt considers some of the
things we do to try and preserve it, and how these can be inspired
by our Celtic roots. With musings from members of Celtic paths
about why they feel such a tie to their Celtic ancestry, A Modern
Celt paints a picture of an ancient world, alive and thriving
today.
