Realm: second star to the right, straight until morning
This book is not a religous text, but it does study, and theorize about the druidic tradtion in Britian at the time of the Roman invasion. It is an Anthroplogy/Archeology book..but it does touch upon beliefs, theories, and the subject, and roll of sacrifice during that time....

Some men are drawn to oceans, they cannot breathe unless the air is scented with a salty mist. Others are drawn to land that is flat, and the air is sullen and is leaden as August. My people were drawn to mountains- Earl Hamner Jr.

Editorial Reviews From Library Journal The discovery of a 2000-year-old man's body in a peat bog in Lindow Moss, near Manchester, England on August 1, 1984 brought the authors together to study his remains, specifically his last meal. Ross is a Celtic specialist and archaeologist; Robins a chemist specializing in archaeological work. Their collaboration has resulted in this engrossing archaeological study which unfolds like a well-told detective story. With clarity and scientific skill, they reconstruct the ritual sacrifice of this 30-year-old man they deduce to have been a Celtic aristocrat. Probably a Druid priest, the man was sacrificed to the gods in A.D. 60 in the wake of a series of disasters, including the advance of Roman armies bent on crushing the Druids. The appendixes provide an overview of the Druids--their institutions, beliefs, and archaeological remains. An engrossing work for laypersons and specialists alike. - Joan W. Gartland, Detroit P.L.

Ok book.... little long winded here and there... It's been YEARS since I have read it....
I know it has had many reprints, and added material over the years...
When I did a pagan radio program on our local public radio station we interviewed her. She is very informed, and well spoken....
