                            Suggested Readings

Following is some recommended reading on Druidism Ancient and
Modern, and associated topics.  This is a very brief list, and
admittedly quite heavily weighted in the Celtic direction.  The
ADF Study Program Guide is an excellent source for additional
suggestions in other areas.  The books below and those in the
Study Program Guide are considered to be of sound scholarship,
which is not true of much of what has been published about the
Druids.   You'll notice that most of the publication dates are
relatively recent.  This is because up until the 1950's research
into the Druids was heavily influenced by a couple of hundred
years of publication which ranged from mere inaccuracy to pure
fantasy.  It is only within the last 40 years or so that scholars
have begun to tease out a clearer understanding of who and what
the Druids really were.
