I get asked a lot about Druidry. I have an elevator speech about being in harmony with nature and loving trees. Pretty simple for a quick, very quick, chat .For more in depth conversation, we need to pause the elevator, or you could read my top five picks for Druid books. Here they are;
Of the many great books dealing with the history of the Druids, I love this one as my #5
For info on many spiritual aspects of Druids, I love this one for my #4;
For an excellent comparison and contrast between modern Druidry and Wicca, and their likeness' and differences (and one of the clearest explanations of magic), I suggest this for #3;
The next book is pure magic for me. Sometimes I just pick it up and read wherever I open it. This book gives me the feeling of doing the course-work in OBOD. My pick for #2 is;
And for my first choice. This book gives me chills when I read it. I get the feeling of being an ancient and modern Druid, in tune with my environment now , then, and forever. The story, with its insights, experiences, and teachings go far beyond the pages. It's one of those spiritual quest/journey books, but without a heavy agenda or dogma. Every time I read it, I get new messages and ideas, and the inspiration to walk out in nature!
Here is my #1, and if you just want one book on Druidry, this very well could be it.
Merry Christmas, or as it was known for eons, Blessed YULE!!!!!
Stopping by your blog helped me to get what I was looking for.
