A good book first book for those wanting an insight to druidry. Explains the basic principles, but should be read in conjunction with similar books on the same subject to give an overall picture.

This is a good introduction to Druidry in its present form and its history. Philip Carr Gomm is Cheif Druid of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids, so if you have read anything written by them before, you will find some of it is repeated in this book. However, the exercises at the end of each Chapter are very helpful. It is not a prescriptive book, telling you exactly what to do and when. Instead it introduces the important bases of modern day Druidry and their origins. It’s not the most inspriational book I have read on the subject, and a lot of what it contains could be found by reading through the articles on the OBOD website, but it’s an excellent introduction to the subject and is very accessible. It’s a book that the more experienced reader might want to lend to friends or family unfamiliar with the subject.

It’s the new way to look at the old ways and bring them into our modern life. Inspiring and life changing. The mistery are that we disconnected ourselves so much from what is vital to our life, nevermind survival.
