What reading level is The Religion of the Ancient Celts book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
6 In Wales there had been Druids as there were Bards, but all trace of the second class is lost. Long after the Druids had passed away, the fiction of the dcrwydd-vardd or Druid-bard was created, and the later bards were held to be depositories of a supposititious Druidic theosophy, while they practised the old rites in secret. The late word derwydd was probably invented from derw, " oak," by some one who knew Pliny's derivation. See D'Arbois, Les Druides, 81.
THE DRUIDS 301 We may thus conclud...e that the Druids were a purely Celtic priesthood, belonging both to the Goidelic and Gaulish branches of the Celts. The idea that they were not Celtic is sometimes connected with the supposition that Druidism was something superadded to Celtic religion from without, or that Celtic polytheism was not part of the creed of the Druids, but sanctioned by them, while they had a definite theological system with only a few gods. 1 These are the ideas of writers who see in the Druids an occult and esoteric priesthood.
