Title: Excellent Use of Gaelic Sources
Review: The author uses a wider variety of sources than other books about the Druids that I have seen. There are no surviving Druid religious texts. I would tend to suspect that they all burned when the Romans invaded Mona, the island that was the center of Druidism. So Ross utilizes secular ancient Gaelic texts which she can read because she is a Gaelic speaker and a scholar of ancient Gaelic. She also read all the standard Roman texts and gives them more cognizance than many modern scholars do. She made the interesting choice of interviewing contemporary Gaelic speakers about folk material and found some ancient survivals.Ross has a provocative theory about Saint Columba having been trained as a Druid before he became a Christian. Since the historicity of Saint Columba's exploits has not been demonstrated, it remains nothing more than a highly entertaining conjecture.
