Product Description

Product Description

This new edition was written out of the need to provide an introduction to the Druid Way based on a Celtic metaphysic. The authors bring a wide experience of druidic practice and thought to bear and present a work that will allow those new to the Way to take their first steps with confidence. However, it is also a book that will be of immense interest to those who are already Druid as it approaches the subject with a fresh vision and a passion that will inspire many to re-examine their roots. The book is divided, appropriately, into three sections. The first part, 'How the World Came To Be', looks at ancestral Celts and Druids and examines not just the history of the Druid Way, but also the metaphysic that gives it continued life. The second part, 'The Shape of the World', explores some of the philosophical concepts of the modern Druid Way as well as the importance of the Matter of Britain in understanding what it is to be Druid. The final part, 'Working in the World', looks at some of the practical aspects of being Druid.

If you are looking for a guide to help you on your Celtic spiritual journey this book is the perfect place to begin. I have read other “How to…” and “Introductions to…” but none touched of the essence and substance of the Druid Way quite so clearly.

The authors provide a practical and often humorous guide to stating on the Way. You are shown that there is more then fancy candles and long white robes involved, without loosing any of the mystical elements.

This book is well balance for two reasons. Firstly they give an excellent walkthrough of all the basic elements of the Way, background, histories, the major festivals, myths, legends and rituals. However you can find those in any of the other books. What sets this work apart from all the others, is the way in which they look at the deeper issues: like truth and sovereignty, which are at the core of what it means to be a Druid or to walk the Druidic path. Secondly the authors come from different approaches to Druidism, which again provides an excellent balance to the text. One author works within a Grove, choosing to work with others, the other is a Hedge Druid, preferring to work on his own, showing new readers that there is more then one approach to practice their new spirituality.

Finally I must complement the authors, for their grounded and human approach to dealing with how one goes about telling others of their new found belief. It is a tricky thing for someone to handle and is often open to misunderstandings, but the advice provided is sensitive and practical.

This is a well-structured and finally crafted piece of writing. It is both informative and inspiring and will be invaluable to you on your journey through the forest. I can not recommend this book highly enough to both those begging the journey or those simply wishing for a guide to renew their interests.

It is great to see that this book has been revised and updated. The authors have kept the overall style and feel of the book whilst re-organising some of the material, adding new stuff, updating the resource section, and getting rid of some typos.
Same price, better book, much greater value. If you are a Druid and don't have this book on your shelf, you should buy it now.

This is a thoughtful and extremely thorough book that eschews new-age airy-fairyness and goes back to the Celtic roots of the Druid Way. As an introduction to the Druid Way, this book is streets ahead of anything else like it currently available.
