Life and Death of a Druid Prince
Posted: Wed Aug 18, 2010 8:16 pm
By Anne Ross, Ph.D. and Don Robbins
This book is a touch more advanced and more abstract than others listed here, but if you want the inside scoop on the religion of the pagan Celts and some possible insight on their views of human sacrifice, this is the book to read. Anne Ross uses archeological data collected from the Lindow bog man and draws comparison to late surviving folk customs in an attempt to reconstruct and explain the most infamous aspect of Celtic paganism. Some of the conclusions she draws are a bit tenuous but in all a good interpretation.
Softcover - 176 pages (1993) Touchstone; ISBN: 0671741225
