The World
of the Druids

In this authoritative account, Miranda Green unravels the truth about the Druids.
Examining the archaeological evidence, Classical commentaries and early Welsh
and Irish myths, she shows that the Druids were fully integrated into Celtic societyfulfilling
varied and necessary roles, both secular and religious. The Roman writers are
seen to reflect the double standards of an invading society: condemning as barbaric
the public sacrifice of enemies by the Druids while accepting as civilized their
own practice of slaughter for sport in the arena. Yet the Classical sources can
be used to help reveal the real Druids. We learn of their multiple roles as judges,
teachers, healers, magicians, philosophers, religious leaders and fomenters of
rebellion.

sneazes, you'll hear, "Bless you?" Ever wonder, where the "May
Pole" came from? This book can help. Being of Irish blood myself, I was interested

of my homeland. If you are of Irish blood, or just wanna be, give this book a
toss in your shopping cart. You won't be dissappointed.
