This book is an expression of a Druid's Path told in autobiographical form and is about ideas. There are many ways of drawing the cycle of the year, and although the author feels the elements are best drawn across the cross formed by the Fire Festivals, she has opted to appoint the quadrants to the cross formed by the Solar Festivals which gives a better balance of light in the form of sunrises and sunsets across the Elements. Sandra has included mind exercises and examples of practical experiences of working with the elements but readily concedes that in assigning specific thought forms or in forming an opinion:- ?I may be in the minority of one. What I have found to be valid for me does not make it so for anyone else; there are as many Paths as there are people.? These pages will serve you well on your own Journey.
It was a mild night in the forest that never sleeps. Below the dark sky, the heart of the deep wood holds its secrets. But one lone Druid has made it his job to plumb them. ‘Gwion Dubh: Druid Investigator, at your service.’
A chance to see the world through the eyes of a practising Druid in this new 32 page short story. Gwion, robed and ready, is called once again to maintain the ancient harmonies: on his very doorstep, the last remnants of an endangered species desperately need his help, leading him on a treasure hunt against the clock, if he’s to fulfill his commitment to the observance of the Winter solstice.
'Once in a blue moon a book comes out that you get a feeling is going to be a classic. Within minutes of receiving an advance copy, the Treadwell’s staff all got that prickly feeling on the back of the neck. . .’
How did the one small island of Britain, and the country of England in particular, become so steeped in magical practices across the centuries, and why has it given birth to the finest magical stories ever written? English authors such as J.R.R.Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Terry Pratchett, and J.K.Rowling dominate the world of magic in fiction, but from the earliest times England has also acted as home to generations of eccentrics and scholars who have researched and explored every conceivable occult art, and now more people practice magic in England than at any time in her history.
The Book of English Magic, authored by Philip Carr-Gomm & Druid grade member Sir Richard Heygate, surveys England’s magical past from the moment the first humans inhabited her shores to our present-day fascination with all things magical. Historical explorations, biographies of leading figures, guides to magical fiction and practical exercises are combined with interviews with modern-day magicians which reveal the extent to which magic is alive and well in England in the 21st century. In this beautifully produced illustrated volume the authors trace the story of magic as it developed through the worlds of the Druid and Anglo-Saxon sorcerer, the Alchemist and Witch, the Cunning Folk and the High Magician. In this journey through time, a world that is complex and fascinating reveals itself . . .

The Druid Animal Oracle by Philip & Stephanie Carr-Gomm, illustrated by Bill Worthington, is an oracular system based on the totem animals of Druidry. 33 full-colour cards (and three spares) are accompanied by a 176pp hardback book and divination cloth. The book gives a wealth of folklore, myth and interpretations for each animal and gives both oracular spreads and ways of working with power animals that can act as guides, allies and healers.
"Rich with vivid symbolic references, the cards have a depth and elegance that subtly draws the eye in to reveal detail. More than a reference, this work embodies reverence. It establishes a foundation and framework of understanding. A doorway to other dimensions. " The Druid’s Progress Magazine.
Graeme K Talboys has been Druid for a long time. An encounter with a spirit in a beech grove fifty years ago convinced him that the eye rarely sees all there is to see. A few years later he realised there were ways to discover more about those other worlds amongst the trees. The word Druid didn't drift into his consciousness until he was a teenager, but by then he was already exploring the Forest and fascinated by the history and archaeology of ancestral Celts.
Since then, Graeme has been a teacher in schools and museums. He now writes, passing on what he has learned through fiction and non-fiction. He spent some time in a Druid Order, completing their formal training, but is much more comfortable exploring the Forest on his own. Since 2001 he has administered the Hedge Druid Network with fellow Druid, Julie White.
The Druid's Primer is a comprehensive guide to Druidic knowledge and practice based on ancient texts and surviving Celtic lore and customs. It is perhaps the first serious attempt to collate the vast body of druidic knowledge from verifiable ancient sources and Celtic survivals into one usable and practical volume as a handy reference for druids and a learning tool for the would be druid. Inspired by the medieval Irish 'Scholar's Primer' this work is the culmination of 15 years research and practical exploration of what it means to be a druid in a modern context.
Whether through storytelling, or singing in Gaelic and English, Fiona Davidson's harp and voice weave together seamlessly. Hers is a pure sound which suggests new pathways for Scottish harp music and accompaniment. This CD is a rich resource of ancient tales and songs, from one of the greatest living modern Bards. Highly recommended
