The Veil of Isis, Or, Mysteries of The Druids is a  fascinating and absorbing book that offers fresh and stimulating  insights. W. Winwood Reade's impressive work is a significant  contribution to the reconstruction of Celtic history; a readable,  balanced and valuable history and a landmark in the neglected terrain  of the ancient Druids.    This splendid study masterfully reconstructs the great history, myths  and theology of the ancient Druids and illuminates the early religions  that spawned them. The book begins with the ancient tales of Osiris  and Isis, and what follows is pure enchantment as you enter the  long-suppressed mysteries of the Druids.    Through careful and thorough exploration of the rich remnants and  writings of Britain's ancient people, Reade provides a startling  account of these political and religious rites forever surrounded by  aura and fantasy. Translating mythic and mystical experience into  elegant, poetic language, Reade reconstructs the development and  eventual decline of this secret society.
