The Secret of the Druids
This module is not a course in Neo-Paganism and will not require dancing under the moon or wearing nothing but blue paint, as interesting as that might be. Rather, this is a review of a vibrant and sophisticated culture which existed without writing. A Druid's training consisted of memorizing something equivalent to the Encyclopedia Britannica, understanding sophisticated mathematical and scientific concepts and a complex cosmos. Equally important, the Druids understood the importance of delivering their technical knowledge in a way that spoke to the heart.
While there is no desire to live without writing, we can learn much from a society which managed to survive and thrive without it. Many principals of communication are thrown into sharp focus in this study.
