More About the Author

Philip always wanted to be a writer and wrote short stories when he was 11 and 12. But then he found the Buddha, the Druids, and Psychoanalysis, and this was all so interesting he forgot about writing until a publisher he met at a dinner party in London, when he was in his late thirties, invited him to write a book. The result, 'The Elements of the Druid Tradition', soon became one of the best sellers in the 'Elements Of' series, and he was asked to write a follow-up: 'the Druid Way'. Twenty years' later he's still writing, having broadened his scope from the topic of Druidry, with its contemporary environmental relevance, to include the history of magic in England in 'The Book of English Magic', the subject of sacred sites in the lavishly illustrated 'Sacred Places', and the subject of nudity in religion, politics and popular culture in 'A Brief History of Nakedness.'

AN excellent look at the writings of the founder of the OBOD. This work is a must for all those interested in Neo-Druidry. Excellent.

Length:: 1:56 Mins

This book contains a lot of valuable information about the topic, druidry, but it is a book for more advanced druids, very complex, and by far not for beginners!

Though I do not like that the author is trying so hard to please the different religions and "fit in" in a way that comprimised the druid perspective, This book is a good addition to the History of the development of modern druidism.
