In this work, Anwyl delves into various phases of Celtic civilization and how they informed and were informed by the religious structures that arose in these communities. He discusses the transition from primitive animism to more complex religious systems involving a pantheon of deities with localized worship, linking this development to the social and material advancements of the Celts.
