100% inauthentic
The works of Douglas Monroe are rife with historical, linguistic, botanical and mythological inaccuracies. His "sources" are inauthentic and his underlying philosphy is unenlightened to say the least. A reader who is truly interested in druidry should look on for something better.
Good, as was the 21 Lessons
I have been studying Druidism for 4 years now and must claim this, as well as the 21 Lessons of Merlyn, to be the most intellectually stimulating book on the subject. Most books will provide you with few facts and practices for you to try out, not only are you presented with all this in the text of the Lost Books, but is as well entertaining to read. And to those to call this book sexist, remember that this grand age of equality hasn't always existed and it is more than likely that men were the main members of the order. And as to those that will argue the validity of the text on which this book is based, even if it is based on a forged text it still provides a valid path. I say the sooner we realize that any druid path may be valid, seeing how druidism died out with the coming of the Christian era leaving us with very little text to remember it by, the sooner the ignorant fighting over validity may end, for surely all of the paths of today provide us with at least a piece of validity if nothing more.
A key tool for the re-emergence of Druidism
While "The 21 Lessons of Merlyn" whetted the apetite for more knowledge, this book finishes the job. In these times of neo-Druidic revival, this is a priceless book for those wishing to know Origional Druidism. Of all the things written in this work, I think that the Quatrains of Bran are among the most important. Blessings to all who feel the pull of these books on their souls.
