"A complete introductory course in Celtic Druidism, packaged within the framework of 21 authentic and expanded story-lessons"--Cover.

[This Mardukite edition is now out-of-print in lieu of the forthcoming "Book of Pheryllt" anthology, collecting this three volume series in one book.]The much anticipated final volume of the Pheryllt Trilogy edited by Joshua Free.In ancient Keltia, the Druid Order consisted of learned ones, those educated in Bardic Arts: cosmology and spirituality, natural-native history and geology, legendary history of heroes and mythology, healing and botanical medicine, astrononmy and astronology, and of course 'magic' - all of which are hidden in lines of Bardic verse and the researches of those who study them. As primary preservers of Celtic and Druid Mysteries, it is no wonder that Bardic Druids were considered the transmitter or catalyst of -awen- the essence, Divine Spark or spirit of inspiration that the Greeks termed 'gnosis'. It is to the 'ebb and flow' of the -awen field- that the magical and poetic genius of the Bard is attributed. Many antiquated scholarly references to the "Books of Fferyllt" or the "Pheryllt" themselves may be found (included or paraphrased in the Book of Pheryllt trilogy series facsmile edited by Joshua Free). Whatever bits trickle down from classical literature and antiquarian druidism to satisfy a modern thirst for the 'pheryllt paradigm' have been collected together in one place - a sacred book once thirded and now made whole - forming a complete sourcebook trilogy of undefiled lore. Whatever name, guise, or title we might attribute to the 'Body of the Dragon' - and we have chosen PHERYLLT - this same lore (originally accessible to few) serves as basis for the majority of Celtic and neo-Druidic revival of the past few centuries; whether or not it has been given due credit as such. Where a thick scholarly aura accumulated from years of controversy may surround the 'authenticity' of some of these manuscripts, valid substitution shortages have bound the modern revival specifically to these available texts and the tradition gleaned from them.

Recounts three myths taken from "The Book of Pheryllt," a famous sixteenth century text.

Originally published in 1882, this early work by politician Ignatius Donnelly is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. Inspired by the writings of Plato, it details the history and technology of this lost land and is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the theory that ancient civilisations are descended from the peoples of Atlantis. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

In this beautifully-written guide, Chief Druid Philip Carr-Gomm shows how the way of Druids can be followed today. He explains - The ancient history and inspiring beliefs of the ancient Druids - Druidic wild wisdom and their tree-, animal- and herb-lore - The mysteries of the Druids' seasonal celebrations - The Druids' use of magic and how their spirituality relates to paths such as Wicca This guide will show how the wild wisdom of the Druids can help us to connect with our spirituality, our innate creativity, the natural world and our sense of ancestry. The life-enhancing beliefs and practices of this spiritual path have much to offer our 21st-century world.
