Informazioni su questo ebook

Celts and Druids explores the religious and cultural practices of the Celts in pre-Roman Europe, shedding light on the pivotal role of the druids. This book delves into their complex spiritual beliefs, social structures, and the evidence surrounding the druids themselves. Understanding the Celts offers vital insights into the development of Western religious and cultural traditions, revealing a nuanced view of Celtic polytheism, including their pantheon and reverence for nature.

While Romans suppressed the Druids, they once served as religious leaders, legal experts, and advisors, highlighting their multifaceted influence within Celtic society. The book adopts a scholarly yet accessible approach, avoiding romanticization and focusing on balanced, evidence-based accounts. It begins by establishing the historical and geographical context of the Celts, tracing their origins and interactions with other cultures.

The central section investigates the training, roles, and religious practices of the druids, incorporating historical sources and archaeological evidence. By examining Celtic art and material culture, Celts and Druids connects to comparative religion, archaeology, and anthropology, providing a solid foundation for understanding this fascinating historical period.
