    Having said that, I do think it’s of great use to make a study of the Celtic languages, especially the ancient ones, in order to get a better insight into the cultures that birthed Druidism. Although you probably want find an everyday guide to the language of Boudicca, as you might for a modern language, there are lots of good resources online that may be of use to you. The Geiriadur Prifysgol Cymru dictionary online (in Welsh or English) includes the derivations of words (therefore a lot of Common Brittonic) as well as first historical attestations in literature of Welsh words. If you’re interested in a more in-depth and academic study, I can recommend The Celtic languages, (2nd ed. 2009), Routledge.
