Ross Nichols was Chief of the Order of Bards Ovates and Druids until his death in 1975. Philip Carr-Gomm performs a great service in undertaking such a major study of one of the seminal thinkers in Western Paganism. This fascinating and wide-ranging selection of Nichols' work contains writings on key themes including ritual, festivals, mythology, symbolism, temple architecture and archeology, and the links between Druidry and other ancient wisdom traditions.
