The Veil of Isis

Postby Twyrch » 12 Oct 2006, 21:26

This was a book written in 1861 by W. Winwood Reade, also entitled; The Mysteries of the Druids. Has anyone read this book?

It make for facinating reading, but I was wondering how much truth there was in this book...

As yet they worshipped only the sun, the moon, and the stars-and not as Gods but as visions of that Divine Essence, which alone ruled and pervaded the earth, the sky, and the sea.

They adored Him kneeling, with their hands clasped, and their eyes raised. They offered Him no sacrifices, they built Him no temples; they were content to offer Him their hearts which were full of awe, in His own temple which was full of grandeur. And it is said that there are yet some barbarous islands where men have no churches nor ceremonies, and where they worship God, reflected in the work of His thousand hands.


I am a believer!
