Product Description
Review
The text is exquisitely grounded, both informed and inspired from its blend of Celtic sources. Indeed, it isn't often that I read a book on Druidry and find myself smiling, my fist clenched with the force of my joyful agreement. Yes, this is a very fine exposition of Druidry, fluent, graceful and witty, not only in terms of its content but also in the way it is expressed. --Emma Restall Orr, Head of The Druid Network, and author of Living Druidry, Living with Honour : A Pagan Ethics, and Kissing the Hag
Robin Herne's new book is a well-written and insightful account of polytheistic Druidry as practised by his group in East Anglia. --Dr Mark Williams, Celticist, at Peterhouse, Cambridge

Product Description
The universe is filled with countless gods, goddesses and nature spirits. Many made themselves known to the Druids of ancient Northern Europe. How can modern day Druids make contact with these age-old Beings? "Old Gods, New Druids" offers a series of twenty humorous and informative lessons that can be used for group or solitary study and is ideal for people interested in Druidry and the Pagan spirituality of ancient Britain and Ireland. Learn about the ancient Gods and other spirits, along with methods of honouring them through ritual, mysticism, poetry and storytelling. Find a spiritual discipline that embraces responsible hedonism whilst venerating the Land and all her children. The growing worldwide interest in the old polytheist religions has lead people to attempt to reconstruct the shattered traditions of earlier times. This book provides a model for recreating a working, coherent theology for anyone wanting to commune with their Gods and the Living Land, regardless of their origins or heritage.

I was interested in learning about druidry and made my first steps along the path but needed to know how to progress. This book is written as a study course which you can take at your own speed. I am being careful in my studies, taking it very slowly and am enjoying the journey immensely. So far I have read and followed two chapters only but in that time am learning so much. It is proving to be a real 'adventure of discovery'.
I would recommend this book to anyone interested in following a druidic path or indeed for anyone who desires to know more about the faith. On a scale of one to ten I would certainly give it an outright 10.

I bought this book on a bit of a gamble - wondering if it said anything new or interesting given the numerous volumes on Druidry that currently exist. How pleasantly surprised I have been and what a joy it has been to read. Robin writes in a way that is engaging, thoughtful as well as humourous. He jokes and doesn't take himself too seriously (something other authors really struggle with in this genre) but also has the ability to make the reader think and deeply consider issues surrounding Druidry in ways they may not have in the past. It's a skilled craft, to be able to write in such a manner and he does it with flair.

Old Gods new Druids - do you want to know what makes a modern day druid? This book takes one through the theory and practice of modern druid life in such an endearing way. Whatever your interest, Robin Herne's approach is enlightening and entertaining.
Listmania!
