The Druids | Stuart Piggott

Book #24 of the year: “The Druids” by Stuart Piggott

I was looking for a straightforward and fact-based look at the history of the Druids and Celtic culture in general. This was definitely it. Piggott looks carefully at oral tradition, primary sources from Romans, funereal customs, architecture, and early Christian writings to present a realistic picture of how little we actually know. Very dry so only read if you‘re a nerd 😂

3.5/5⭐ This is a reread for me. An informative, balanced introduction to revival Druidry, though the author speaks about current issues he's obviously not well versed in. #bookspin

This is an old friend from early adolescence and my first journeys into King Arthur/Celtic mythic fiction. Re-reading it now, years later, the writing is er…. Dense. Really dense. But, somewhat like Tolkien, very worth the magic of the journey. A unique telling of magic and what it means to be “good.”

In Kevin Hearne‘s Iron Druid series, Atticus has an Irish Wolfhound, Oberon, who‘s always hungry.

Susanita Why am I hearing this title in Samuel Jackson‘s voice? 4y
wanderinglynn @Susanita 😆 Because his voice makes anything awesome?!? 4y
MidnightBookGirl I LOVE Oberon! Love this cover! I mostly listened to the books on audio, but this is too cute! 4y

MOTHER OF PEARL THIS BOOK SUCKED!!!
Gird your loins, because here it comes (complete with rant)...
Half the book isn‘t even about what the whole book claims to be about. The first half of the book is about the “philosopher” in Greece and Rome and what he would have heard about the Gauls from there. There is only one chapter that involved Druids. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

GingerAntics It‘s full of cliches and myths that were debunked in the decade before this was written, making it outdated before it was even published. The entire book boils down to “this is how it was for the pre-Christian Irish, so it must have been similar.” I don‘t get why everyone raved about this book. Even his epilogue wasn‘t what it promised. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 5y
GingerAntics “The Celtic Heritage” turned out to be “Rome never conquered Ireland or Scotland.” Whoopy! I should have stopped reading when he said Julius Caesar was a great source on the Celts and implied it was accurate. Was this book actually written in the 1950s?! 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 5y
GingerAntics If you want actual, factual history, look else where. If you need something to help you fall asleep and don‘t care about facts or only making suppositions you can support with sources, this is the book for you. 5y
