R. J. Stewart; Robin Williamson

Synopsis:
The magical beliefs, crafts, and lore of the Celtic bards and druids emerged from pagan ritual, and continued to develop even after the arrival of Christianity.

They were even thought to possess a kind of power over the men and women whose legends they presented. through poems, tales, songs, aphorisms, texts, and commentaries, discover the enchanted history of these poets.
