Druidism Exhumed

By James Rust

Book Overview

Druidism Exhumed is a book written by James Rust that explores the ancient religion of Druidism. The book delves into the history, beliefs, and practices of the Druids, who were the priestly class of the ancient Celtic peoples. Rust examines the evidence for Druidism from archaeological finds, ancient texts, and folklore, and provides a detailed analysis of the Druids' role in Celtic society. The book also explores the influence of Druidism on modern-day neo-paganism and the revival of interest in the religion. Rust argues that Druidism is a complex and sophisticated religion that deserves to be studied and understood in its own right, rather than being dismissed as a primitive and barbaric belief system. Druidism Exhumed is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in ancient religions and the history of the Celtic peoples.1871.
