Modern Druids
Need help registering?
The ancient Druids have long represented some of the most striking and controversial figures in ancient and medieval literature.
In this lecture, we look at the many different ways they have inspired the modern imagination, both as heroic ancestors and demonic villains against whom civilisation can be defined. We trace the appearance of different kinds of Druidry as a part of Paganism, to suggest what the particular contribution of that Druidry to modern culture may be.
