Reviews

This is a lovely book that the aspiring Druid will find very useful. I particularly enjoyed the write-ups of the Druidic founders, especially the Breton Druids with whom I was less familiar. It is always refreshing to note the Socialist leanings of early modern Druids, something that I find quite sympathetic. There is a great gazetteer of sacred places in Britain, Ireland and North America within these pages that should inspire wandering Druids in their travels. --Ellen Evert Hopman, author of the Priestess of the Forest trilogy of Druid novels.
