Reviews

The Druidic Art of Divination by Jon G. Hughes does a great service making his pre-Celtic Druid oral tradition available to those of us who are unlikely to find someone to teach it to us in person. I highly recommend it to those interested in some new divination techniques and/or learning more about Druidism. * The Magical Buffet * The ancient art of Druidic divination can be intimidating, but Jon's writing is informative yet wise as he explains the different systems used by the Druids. This book will leave you wanting to discover more. * Ambrosia Hawthorn, editor of Witchology Magazine and author of The Spell Book for New Witches *
