I'd suggest 'Druidry: A Beginner's Guide' by Philip Carr-Gomm. It provides a good introduction and covers various aspects of Druids in a clear and accessible way. Also, 'The Ancient Druids' by Ronald Hutton is worth checking out, as it presents a detailed and scholarly examination.
One of the top choices could be 'The Druids: A History' by Peter Berresford Ellis. It offers in-depth insights into their culture and practices.
Another great non - fiction book is 'Into the Wild' by Jon Krakauer. It follows the journey of Christopher McCandless who ventured into the Alaskan wilderness. The book not only tells his story but also makes the readers think about the relationship between man and nature, and the search for meaning in life.
A characteristic of fictional druids is their role as mentors. Just as Merlin guided Arthur, many druids in fiction guide the main characters. They are keepers of ancient knowledge. In the 'Dragon Age' druids of the Dalish elves, they hold the secrets of their people's past and the ways of the land. Their magic is often nature - based, using the power of the forest, water, etc. They are also somewhat reclusive, living apart from the mainstream society in many stories.
One common characteristic is their strong link to nature. They seem to understand the language of animals and plants. Another is their magical abilities, often centered around nature - based magic like controlling the weather or making plants grow rapidly.
Depends on your interests. If you're into history, 'Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind' by Yuval Noah Harari is great. For self-improvement, 'Atomic Habits' by James Clear is a top choice.
I'd recommend 'The Mothman Prophecies'. It combines real experiences and mysterious phenomena in a way that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The way the author presents the events makes it a standout in the non-fiction supernatural genre.
There are several best-selling non-fiction books. For example, 'Atomic Habits' by James Clear has been very popular for its practical advice on forming good habits. Another one is 'Educated' by Tara Westover, which tells an inspiring personal story.
I think 'Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind' by Yuval Noah Harari is one of the best. It offers a fascinating perspective on human evolution and history.
