Druidry: A Practical & Inspirational Guide

Druids were the priests, magicians, healers, diviners, prophets, poets, musicians, historians, teachers and counsellors of much of north-western Europe during the Iron Age and probably earlier, equivalent in many ways to shamans in other cultures. Druids today fulfil the same functions. From the sacred groves of prehistory to ecological campaigns of the present day, Druidry has always been a green spirituality and the deep relationship it offers with the natural world is a large part of its continuing appeal in the 21st century. This book sets out the various roles of bards, ovates and Druids within Druidry, shows how the tradition has developed over the centuries and how it is practised today, offering many practical exercises. 204 pages, illustrated, hardback, index.
