Arthur Rowan - the name itself seems contrived to lend authority and/or credence to knowledge about Celtic history and/or Druidry. It's about as cliche as hippies naming their daughter Moonbeam.
If you're going to write a book that you base on history and psychology, write it that way. If you're going to make religious leaps, I can deal with that, and can even encourage that, as long as you don't try to justify your religious leaps with "history" that you don't back up with sources.
I have a very hard time taking anything this guy writes at face value, because he keeps pulling this crap. Not to mention inventing words, like "Celtica" to refer to a Celtic nation of the past. Also, don't romanticize a past culture as if it were the best ever to exist on the planet. The Celts were no better than the Romans, or the Greeks, or the African tribes... stop pretending like they were.
Major, major fouls for nearly violating Godwin's Law in the first few pages of the book and for referring to "true" anything, such as true faith, true art, true Bardry, true Druidry, etc. Immediate disqualification for dumb.
I can't even finish it. :/ I put it down, and I wasn't even a third of the way in.… (altro)
