Modern Druids

  • Currency: EUR

The ancient Druids have long represented some of the most striking and controversial figures in ancient and medieval literature and they are still represented in books or movies. In this lecture recorded by Ronald Hutton for Gresham College on 2nd of April 2025 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London, he and people watching will look at the many different ways in which the modern imagination has been inspired by them, both as heroic ancestors and as demonic villains against whom civilisation can be defined.

The lecture traces the appearance of different kinds of Druidry as a part of Paganism, and suggests what the particular contribution of that Druidry to modern culture may be. The lecture chapters are the following:

  • 00:00 Introduction
  • 01:22 Nationalist Druids
  • 10:09 Welsh Druids
  • 14:22 Confessional Druids
  • 17:07 Green Druids
  • 20:18 Demonic Druids
  • 29:44 Masonic Druids
  • 34:52 Theosophical Druids
  • 42:41 New Age Druids
  • 46:11 Countercultural Druids
  • 52:38 Conclusion

Ronald Hutton is the Gresham Professor of Divinity and Professor of History at the University of Bristol and a Fellow of the British Academy, the Royal Historical Society, the Society of Antiquaries and the Learned Society of Wales.
