Many antiquated scholarly references to the "Books of Fferyllt" or the "Pheryllt" themselves may be found by a diligent scholar (many of which are paraphrased in this special anniversary collector's edition of "The Pheryllt Researches"). Whatever bits trickle down from classical literature and antiquarian druidism to satisfy a modern thirst for the 'pheryllt paradigm' have been collected together in one place - a sacred book once thirded in former presentations of a 'Pheryllt Trilogy' and are now made whole - forming a complete source book of undefiled mystical lore as a companion to the original Draconomicon volume (also available in this series separately in hardcover).
Whatever name, guise, or title we might attribute to this work as the proverbial 'Body of the Dragon' - and we have chosen PHERYLLT - this same lore (originally accessible to very few with small networks) serves as basis for the majority of Celtic and neo-Druidic revival of the past few centuries, not to mention other forms of 'neo-paganism'; whether or not it has received its due credit as such.
"The Pheryllt Researches" were once only available -- in their complete form -- to members of the Mardukite Academy of Systemology, within the appendix section of the Grade-I Route-D Master Edition anthology textbook: "Merlyn's Complete Book of Druidism: A Master Course in Druidry for Modern Druids" and is now published as a stand-alone hardcover title for the first time, commemorating its 25th Anniversary since originally compiled by Joshua Free (writing as Merlyn Stone) as an apprentice of New Forest Centre for Magickal Studies in the 1990's.
