pickBook #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 😂

These are the books I‘ll be reading during September 2023.
All through Celtic poetry you find the colour, power, and intensity of nature.
How beautifully it recognizes the wind, the flowers, the breaking of the waves on the land. Celtic spirituality hallows the moon and adores the life force of the sun.
pickMy latest short story is inspired by Celtic myths. This book is a little dry, but was informative for research. 3 stars. #writer #research #Celtic #mythology A
so-soOriginally published in 1892, some parts were difficult to read with the tales being translated from Gaelic into English, focusing on the fact this book was to be marketed to English children in the late 19th/early 20th century. I would have enjoyed this collection more had it been annotated or had there been more of an explanation of the history and lore around the stories.
And finally, I get basil for #pantone2022 and have completed the board!
