Summary

This is a major study of the work of Ross Nicols, the founder of the modern Order Bards, Ovates and Druids, which is now the largest Druid grouping in the world. His successor, Philip Carr-Gomm, has assembled this selection of Ross Nichols' writings on key themes including ritual, festivals, mythology, symbolism, temple architecture, and archaeology, and shows links between Druidry and other ancient wisdom traditions, including Buddhism and the Ancient Egyptian religions. It is the essential resource for students of Druidry and lovers of Celtic spirituality.
