Product Description
Product Description
The Druid tradition lies at the heart of Western spirituality. The Druids, like the Native Americans and the Aborigines, revere and respect the earth and see nature as their mother and teacher, Druidry today is a profoundly rewarding spiritual way that understands healing, creativity and the importance of our love of the land.
The Druid tradition lies at the heart of Western spirituality and today it is experiencing a renaissance unprecedented in its long history. The Druids, like the Native Americans and the Aborigines, revere and respect the earth. They see Nature as their teacher and mother. Druidry today offers a spiritual way that includes an understanding of healing, creativity and the need to place our love of the land at the centre of our lives.
Drawn together in this collection are contributions from Druid Chiefs from Britain, France and America, together with writers and mystics, healers and psychologists, professors and historians. Expressing the excitement and breadth of the modern Druid renaissance, this book is a celebration of the flowering of a tradition that is ancient yet ever new.

An inspiring and comprehensive view of modern Druidry
16 Jan 1999
Format:Paperback
The Druid Rennaissance affords an inspiring and comprehensive view of contemporary Druidry, which is emerging as a major spiritual pathway for the coming millenium. In one well-produced volume, Philip Carr-Gomm, chosen chief of the Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids (OBOD), has, thanks to a judicious choice of contributing authors and an effective organization of the texts, succeeded in conveying a clear understanding of what modern Druidry, grounded in a rich heritage of tradition, is and how it relates to other western and oriental currents of thought. A must for all those, whether familiar or unfamiliar with the subject, who seek an authoritative and eminently readable presentation of Druid thought today.

Carr-Gomm's reader friendly presentation of modern Druidry
22 May 1999
Format:Paperback
The most informative source book about contemporary Druidism I've found. Druidic history is addressed unabashedly; even the less popular aspects are discussed and dissected in a comprehensive, informative manner.

A diverse presentation of Neo-pagan druidism
7 July 1999
Format:Paperback
As with any anthology, the real power of the book lies in the few gems scattered amongst the semi-precious stones of the majority of the writing, and the overall balance and diversity represented by the full cross-section of opinion presented. Carr-Gomm should be saluted for providing commentary from a wide range of authors from organizations outside of his own.
Part I: The Call of the Land was itself worth the price of the book for me. It represents the best of what makes druidism a religion for the future as well as the past.
