This guide to the modern Druid movement features essays from the chief Druids of Britain, France and America, as well as from established writers, mystics, historians, healers and psychologists. 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.
This book investigates the contemporary resurgence of Druidry as a viable path for modern Western spirituality and its role in fostering a deeper connection to the natural world. Philip Carr-Gomm, a prominent figure in the modern Druid movement, compiles a diverse collection of essays from international leaders, historians, and practitioners to frame Druidry not as a relic of the past, but as a living, evolving tradition. The text argues that the core tenets of Druidic wisdom—reverence for the earth and the perception of Nature as a primary teacher—offer necessary guidance for addressing modern ecological and spiritual crises.
What You Will Find
The text functions as a comprehensive anthology that provides both historical context and a contemporary roadmap for those interested in the Druid revival. Its multi-vocal approach offers a balanced overview of the movement's diverse philosophical and practical applications in the modern era.
