Description

A major study of the work of one of the seminal thinkers in Western Paganism. Ross Nichols was Chief of the Order of Bards Ovates and Druids until his death in 1975. He was a man who believed passionately in the power of myth, poetry, ritual and drama, and in the interconnectedness of the world's religious systems. This fascinating and wide-ranging selection of Ross Nichols' work contains writings on key themes including ritual, festivals, mythology, symbolism, temple architecture and archaeology, and the links between Druidry and other ancient wisdom traditions. It is the essential resource for students of Druidry and lovers of Celtic spirituality.

Way too esoteric for me. Though written by one of the founders of "modern" Druidry, I could find only the slightest link to more contemporary writers. It does give an interesting perspective on the co-evolution of Druidry and Wicca with both having come from a common source.
