Jesse Harasta must be a historical linguist because each book I've read by him is heavily dosed with a study of glottochronology. It may be his forte,' but it is only marginally related to the study of the Druids. A great deal of padding is added here because little is known about the Druids. Probably, this explanation of the Druids could have comfortably filled five pages. However, no one is going to pay for five pages of material.

Therefore, the author filled the pages with speculation and people who faked information about the Druids. Then, in the final chapter, the focus is on how Druidic movements have changed. Groups following Celtic practices have worked with animal archetypes and sweat lodges. They have abandoned the old political activities of ancient Druids. Current Druidic action is related to nature worship.
