Editorial Review Product Description Culled from 16th-century notes and compiled into book form, Barddas reveals a belief system with a wide range of influences, including Judeo-Christian and ancient Roman. Yet there are beliefs and views expressed within that appear to be unique to Celtic thought and oddly similar to Eastern traditions. On its publication in the 19th century, Barddas stirred controversy. Some critics claimed that it was completely made up or based on forgeries. Others defended it by pointing out similarities to other surviving Celtic documents with clear provenance. Photo-offset from the first-printing, this edition of Barddas includes the original Welsh on verso pages with English translation running on the recto pages. John Matthews, popular writer about all things Celtic, provides an introduction outlining the history and contemporary importance of Barddas. Customer Reviews (3)

Toe Tapping fun
60's bard
Great!
Fun and interesting The author proceeds each musical score with a brief story about which the song is based. It's not cluttered with a lot of personal yarns. Very enjoyable. The CD is a great bonus!

A serious collection of essays on often misunderstood topics
essential
Another great book from an honored scholar
Irrelevant twaddle presented as scholarship.
Hit and Myth What is the result of this interesting concoction?Let's start off with some problems.The essay on druidism is somewhat dry and is largely about complicated internal squabbles among modern druids.The opening chapter starts off by pointing out how modern Celtic nationalism is based on myths.We learn about the story (first told by Hugh Trevor-Roper, to whom the book is dedicated) of how the kilt was not the ancestral uniform of the Highlanders but was designed by an English businessman in Scotland in the 1700s who wanted more convenient clothing.Much of the origins of Welsh and Cornish nationalism come from romantic English sympathizers.But the discussion of Irish nationalism is disappointing.Who, after all, is Hutton trying to refute in pointing out that many nationalists have English, Norman and Protestant origins? Everyone in Ireland knows that Wolfe Tone and Parnell were Protestants.It is Unionism, not Republicanism, that defines Irish nationalism as no more than a whining Catholic sectarianism.And Hutton's deflation of the "myth" of Drogheda, based mostly on one contentious recent monograph, ignores the hundreds of thousands who died in the course of Cromwell's supression of the Irish rebellion.Finally there is a certain undue sympathy towards the mystics and magicians he is covering.In his deflation of the remarkable claims about Glastonbury Abbey, that Arthur's bones are buried there and that it is where Joseph of Arimathea came to England, he goes out of his way to suggest that they could conceivably be true.At one point he refers to modern paganism as an "entirely valid religion" that, notwithstanding its claims to the contrary, dates no earlier than the first decades of the twentieth century.That is all very liberal and tolerant, but one wonders what an "invalid religion" would be like. Having said that however, much of the rest of the book is interesting and useful.To turn back to the opening chapters on myths, not only do we learn of the origins of the quite false statistic that nine million people were killed in the witch trials, we also learn of the limits of oral history.Contrary to what many people have thought, oral traditions become dramatically less accurate after a century or so.Hutton goes on to describe how he tried to use oral traditions to supplement his earlier histories of the English civil war and was maddeningly unsuccessful.Sir Henry Ireton supposedly defends the honor of a daughter he did not have, Oliver Cromwell dies a non-existent violent death, Charles II's fate is confused with his father's, major events go by with some areas completely forgetting them, while others "remember" non-existent romantic trivia.Meanwhile the Cornish, who in the 16th century rebelled against the rise of Protestantism, now remember themselves as Protestant heroes.We also learn the most recent research on King Arthur.The earliest reference to him comes in the early ninth century.In the seventies there was a surge of archaeological research which supposedly proved Arthur's existence.Hutton shows that it proved nothing of the sort, but is cautious about the idea that Arthur never existed.We also learn how Tolkein'sand Lewis' fantasies deviate from Christianity.In the two chapters on late paganism we learn about the traditions of late paganism and how they were transferred to the modern day.There is much talk about neoplatonism and the mysterious Sabians and the Arabian city of Harran, but Hutton is clear in showing that there was no direct continuous tradition from either source.When some of this neoplatonism surfaced in the twelfth and fifteenth centuries, they were mostly used by intellectuals who wished to use classical insights to strengthen Christianity.Hutton reminds us that the old distinction between religion (supplication to a God) and magic (invoking divine power for one's own ends) is still possible and still alive.Although modern pagans use ideas from neoplatonic and Egyptian magic, Hutton notes the contrast between modern optimism and late classical pessimism, the abstinence of the past with the sexuality of today, as well as the modern Pagan appeal to the people and the strictly minority and mysterious nature of the late paganism they invoke.There are many strange areas of the past that have been ignored by historians and are now dangerously infested with cranks.Ronald Hutton is a fine guide to these obscure areas. ...

Interesting Look at Druidry and Druid Rituals From the book's beginning, Orr takes time to explain in her words what a ritual is and spends the next several chapters discussing topics like Druidry itself, the language of it, setting, tools and offerings, etc. Towards the book's end, she devotes chapters to the rituals themselves, be it an "everyday ritual," a "holiday ritual," or other assorted ones. She also writes about rituals she has attended, the settings of them, the preparation, what went on and so forth. These examples emphasize points she is trying to make in various parts of the book. This is a book well worth reading for anyone studying the Celtic path. It's disappointing to note this book is apparently now out of print.
Don't buy it for the rituals.
A Refreshing and Personal Look at Ritual and Druidry
ZZZzzzz zZZZZzzzzZZzzzz
Enjoyable and Inspiring I certainly reccommend this to anyone who is interested in learning more about the practice of modern druidry.As one would expect from the title, this book is very focused on the creation of rituals--for all situations in life.Orr is very good at not setting down a textbook style, this-is-how-to-act-and-what-to-say manual.Her emphasis is always on personal creativity, and allowing the ritual to come from within you.I certainly found some inspiration and many good ideas.I was also glad to see Orr's insistance that rituals need not be planned or held at specific moments. She gives special emphasis to the simple things we do on an everyday basis, that may not immediately seem to be "rituals", but are in fact important moments of recognition, thanksgiving or prayer. However, I would warn those who have read Spirits of the Sacred Grove not to expect the same level of poetry and beauty that Orr was able to convey through that book.And for those who have not read Spirits, by all means, do so. ...
