"Druidism evolved out of the tribal cultures of Britain, Ireland an western France over two thousand years ago. In the seventeenth century it experienced a revival which has continued to this day. Druidry's modern worldwide appeal lies in its focus on reverence for the world, a belief in the value of personal creativity, and of developing a sense of communion with the powers of nature and the spirit. Its startling recent growth derives from its broad appeal: some treat it as a philosophy, others as a religion, still others as a path of self-development. Philip Carr-Gomm explains the practical value of following Druidism today, and examines its core beliefs and relevance to the contemporary issues that face us all."--BOOK COVER.
