They chanted in the Stone Circles, observed the Fates through the movement of the sun and stars, passed judgement upon the transgressors of unwritten codes and offered fiery human sacrifice. They remain with us today in legend and in magic; faint voices from pre~Christian celtic religion. James Bonwick's classic work examines the history of the Irish Druids and old Irish religions through a wide variety of primary and secondary sources in religion, lore and literature. Documenting ancient controversies and examining changing beliefs, Bonwick comprehensively illuminates his subject from the days of oral tradition to the painstaking scholarship of the nineteenth century. This fascinating account includes such pivotal topics as Druidical Belief and Magic, Serpent Faith, Sun Worship, Stone Worship and the Round Tower Creed. Here is the controversial legend of Ossian the Bard, Chief of the Fenians, whose epic poetry was the equal of Homer's and how after 150 years of enchantment he met with St. Patrick, but ultimately rejected the new faith. We learn how shamrocks, oak and mistletoe~sacred plants which housed gods and spirits~were worshiped for magical & healing properties before they found their way into the Christian iconography of the Middle Ages. With time and the progress of civilization, nature worship and ritual became superstition and folklore, nature and magic were transformed into tradition and religion. Yet however far we are today from the ancient mythologies, they still embody religious and scientific truths. Irish Druids and Early Irish Religions is a valuable demonstration of how the concept of the Druid as keeper of the secret wisdom in the Celtic lands became part of occult lore. It is also an excellent guide to the history of Druidical magic and belief and the sources from which we draw our knowledge of Druids today.
