Summary: Great read.
Comment: Once again, Philip Carr-Gomm is NOT an anthropologist and hisbooks are NOT about the ancient druids. Druidry is a modern beliefwith only occasional ties to events/beliefs of 2000 years ago, just as modern Christianity is.
I finished this book with a feeling of peace, it was almost a meditation to read it. However, I got very little practical information out of it. I certainly don't feel that it is "a complete description of the Druid Way." The comments by the author are closer to the book than the "synopsis" is. Wonderfully written, this book brings together a stroll around the countryside with the grief of a loss of a friend to show a path to enlightenment through the power and beauty of the earth.
...if you want to know about ancient druids, check out "The Druids" by Stuart Piggot or "The Celts" by T. G. E. Powell. The fact of the matter is the historical druids committed very little to paper until after they were assimilated into the Culdee church. And that all had the taint of Christianity on it.

Summary: A very good book about Man's place on the Earth.
Comment: If your looking for a book on druidry, you may find this book a little dissapointing. This book is a book that analises man's place on earth, his problems and emotions using some druidic concepts. It is not on druidry, although it could function as an introduction to the concept. This is a very good book and I'd recommend it to anyone who is interested on what has happened to man's relationship with nature.

Summary: This book was a big dissapointment.
Comment: The Druid Way had nothing to do with traditional Druidism with the exception of the historical sites visited within the book. This is my first book that I have read by Carr-Gomm, and it will be my last. The book is filled with too much Psyco-psychology. By reading this Book I find that Carr-Gomm is overly obcessed with Sexuality. If one wishes to follow the tennents of Wicca, then this is a good book. If you want to read about traditional Druidism, stay clear of this book.
