5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful guide to the spirit and passion of druidry., 28 Feb 2001
I have read many texts giving in more or less detail the practical aspects of druidic practice. They are informative and interesting, but few have engaged my imagination and my spirit as this one has. I have seldom, if ever, come across such a vivid and beautiful description of what it is to actually live as a priestess (or priest). Emma takes us along with her on her spiritual journey through the year, allowing us to experience the laughter and the fears, the doubt and the joy of modern druidry. A truly moving book for anyone with an interest in the spiritual side of life, no matter what religious background they hail from.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most beautiful, inspirational book I have ever read., 6 Jan 2004
By Mouse (England, UK) - See all my reviews
When I first began reading 'Spirits' (now re-titled 'A Druid Priestess') I was recovering from a major operation and so had the time, at last, to consider in depth, my spirituality, something I'd been attempting to do for a long time. Although raised a Roman Catholic I had always been drawn to nature, and the nature-based religions, and found the Pagan way of living was becoming more and more interesting and important to me. Although, I WOULD say that you don't have to be interested in following a pagan pathway, to delight in the pages of this wonderful book. Anyone, following any religion or spirituality, will find something within these pages which touches them deeply. It does not aim to convert. Many of my non-pagan friends have read it, and have found solace in its words.

It is a book based on a very personal journey in the life of a very beautiful Priestess. Completely enthralling, weaving knowledge with inspiration, and sharing many personal moments, 'Spirits' allows the reader to truly 'be' there, to walk alongside Bobcat, to wander about in her world and touch her reality, as she treads her own, unique path throughout the wheel of the year.

I was feeling particularly low in my own spirit and soul when someone recommended I read 'Spirits', stating "it'll blow your head off Ri", and it did! From the very first page I was captivated. From the very first page I soared. 'Spirits' is one of those books which is difficult to put down once you start reading, yet at other times I became so overwhelmed, so fuelled with emotion, that I just had to, either to merely wipe my tears of sadness or elation, or actively work with the spirits of place, to share what I was experiencing ...

'Spirits of The Sacred Grove' is a very powerful insight, into a very beautiful native spirituality. I knew from the moment I began reading it that the path of Druidry was the one I'd been walking in secret all of my life. I felt as if I'd 'come home'. And now, almost 4 years after first reading it, I feel that even more strongly. I'm still walking my path, with deeper and deeper reverance each day, and still delighting in my now well-read, dog-eared book of 'Spirits of The Sacred Grove'...

5.0 out of 5 stars Soaked in the good spirit of humanity as it should be., 9 April 1999
By A Customer
The world as seen and experienced from the mind and inner eye of a trully beautiful Druid Priestess. If you are looking for something in life, I'm sure you will find it within these pages.

A wonderfully put together piece, which communicates well the experience of inner peace and pure spiritual enlightenment, gained not without the pains of life. When Emma flies, you fly with her because you are invited. She tells you it's okay to enter the magical space which she shares with her spirit guides and animal friends. When you do, and you open your mind to the surroundings implied to you, you can trully be there.

The work is aimed primarily at the female of the species, but if you are a stag who needs some balance and harmony in your life, as well as a better understanding of the doe, then this is your medicine.

Beautifully descriptive, Emma takes you through the cycle of the seasonal year, and explains the different characteristics of each change and how this reflects on us humans and indeed how we react to these changes. Her own experiences and values shine through, leaving enough room for the imagination to go wherever it wishes.

You don't have to be a Druid/ess to understand where Emma is coming from, neither is it compulsory to have pagan beliefs, there is something for everyone here. But if you are looking for an opening in the Druid faith, this could be a good place to start. Happy reading.

Peace in the Light of Awen.

Taran.
