DRUIDS AND DRUIDISM

Compiled By George F. Black, Ph.d.
The following list of works relating to Druids and Druidism comprises not only what is in The New York Public Library, but also titles gathered from other trustworthy sources. The aim has been to make a fairly complete list of works on the subject, and it is believed that few titles of any importance have been overlooked. The works which are in The New York Public Library have the class-mark added at the end of the title — all others are to be understood as being not at present in the Library collection. References to works on "Stone circles," etc., erroneously called "Druid circles" by unscientific writers, are omitted. These stone circles are of a much earlier date than the Druids.

I believe you will be amazed at how much of current detailed Neo-Druidic writing and though can be traced back to his works on what the ancient Druid's did or did not do.



I will be adding all my own notes embedded, to this living blog and it will also serve both as a reference and example of how try to dissect and book and boil it down to knowledge factoids.

* This peninsula is Inis-Eogain, vulgarly Enis. Owen, in whose
isthmus stands the city of Londonderry, itself a peninsula, and,
if the tradition be true, originally a famous grave and school of
the Druids. Hence comes the very name Doire, corruptly pro
nounced Derry, which in Irish signifies a grove, particularly of
oaks. The great Columba changed it into a college for Monks
(who in his time were retir’d Laymen, that lived by the labour
of their hands) as most commonly the sacred places of the hea
thens, if pleasant or commodious, were converted to the like use
by the christians after their own manner. This Derry is the Ro
bereturn or Campus roborum *, mentioned by Bede in his Eccle.

Levitical priesthood (compairing the Druids to this)
Levitical priesthood began with Aaron, the older brother of Moses (Exodus 28:1–3). Aaron’s descendants served as the priests in Israel, ministering in the tabernacle and, later, the temple, primarily as mediators between man and God. The Levitical priests bore the responsibility of offering the sacrifices required by the Mosaic Law. Some of the Levitical priests in the Bible are Ezra; Eli; and Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist.



The term Levitical is derived from the Israelite tribe of Levi. Levi was the third son of Leah and Jacob (Genesis 29:34) and the father of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of Moses and Aaron. Originally, it was the firstborn son of every family who was consecrated to God and inherited the birthright, leadership, authority, etc. (Exodus 13:2). We see this institution of “first” things being what God requires as far back as Genesis 4:4 when God was pleased with the firstborn of Abel’s flock that he offered to God (see Proverbs 3:9 and Romans 11:16). Later, when God made Israel into a nation, He called them His firstborn son (Exodus 4:22–23), and each individual Israelite was called to be holy, priestly, and royal (Exodus 19:5–6). And then out of the nation of Israel God chose the tribe of Levi to serve Him and the sons of Aaron to be the priests. Thus, all priests were Levites, but not every Levite was a priest.

Londonderry >
Derry (/ˈdɛrɪ/[2]), officially Londonderry (/ˈlʌndənˌdɛrɪ/[2]), is the second-largest city in Northern Ireland[3][4] and the fourth-largest city on the island of Ireland.[5] The name Derry is an anglicisation of the Irish name Daire or Doire meaning "oak grove".[6][7] In 1613, the city was granted a Royal Charter by King James I and gained the "London" prefix to reflect the funding of its construction by the London guilds. While the city is more usually known colloquially as Derry,[8][9] Londonderry is also commonly used and remains the legal name.

Bede:


Bede (/ˈbiːd/ beed; Old English: Bǣda or Bēda; 672/673 – 26 May 735), also referred to as Saint Bede or the Venerable Bede (Latin: Bēda Venerābilis), was an English monk at the monastery of Saint Peter at Monkwearmouth and its companion monastery, Saint Paul's, in modern Jarrow (see Monkwearmouth-Jarrow), Tyne and Wear, both of which were then in the Kingdom of Northumbria. He is well known as an author and scholar, and his most famous work, Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum (The Ecclesiastical History of the English People) gained him the title "The Father of English History".

The Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum, or An Ecclesiastical History of the English People[1] is Bede's best-known work, completed in about 731. The first of the five books begins with some geographical background and then sketches the history of England, beginning with Caesar's invasion in 55 BC

He founded the important abbey on Iona, which became a dominant religious and political institution in the region for centuries. He is the Patron Saint of Derry. He was highly regarded by both the Gaels of Dál Riata and the Picts, and is remembered today as a Christian saint and one of the Twelve Apostles of Ireland.[3]

We will be dissecting John Toland's  seminal work on 'The Druid's' using:

A NEW EDITION of TOLAND'S HISTORY OF THE DRUIDS:
WITH AN ABSTRACT OF HIS LIFE AND WRITINGS
and  Copious apprentie Containing Notes Critical, Philological and  Explanatory

I believe you  will be amazed at how much of current detailed Neo-Druidic writing and though can be traced back to his works on what the ancient Druid's did or did not do.

I will be adding all my own notes embedded, to this living blog and it will also serve both as a reference and example of how try to dissect and book and boil it down to knowledge facttoids.
