Filled with magick and rituals, let Sirona Knight's book be your guide to the path of modern Celtic Druidism. An overflowing cauldron of information, magickal works, and Druid rituals, Exploring Celtic Druidism presents the authentic teachings of the modern Celtic Druid tradition to a wide audience. You'll learn what Druidism is and how to practice it to achieve a more positive and enriching life. Included are easy-to-use instructions for gathering your ritual tools, choosing a craft name, personal initiation, performing magickal works, and celebrating the eight Great Days of the year. Surrounded in mystery, Druidism is one of the most exalting adventures of the human spirit. Exploring Celtic Druidism provides practical methods for continuing this adventure by walking between worlds. This magickal book explains how the awareness of your spiritual connection with the land is one of the most personally empowering and positive things about modern Druidism. Honoring the Goddess and the creative, regenerative principles of nature, modern Druidism is characterized by a total refusal of duality under any of its forms. Everything is connected and part of a greater whole and Oneness. Exploring Celtic Druidism opens the door to the world of the Druids, the group most closely associated with Stonehenge and the mysterious standing stones. This hands-on God and Goddess training guide can help readers discover the Merlin within them. Exploring Celtic Druidism explains how to attain a high degree of inner vision through personal initiation and by performing the Five Magical Druid Works: the Talisman, Pentacle, Binding, Healing Work, and Cone of Power. Also included are the original Gwyddonic Druid rituals for the Eight Solar Festivals of Yule, Bridget's Fire, Hertha's Day, Beltane, Midsummer, Lughnasadh, Hellith's Day, and Samhain.
When I bought this book, I didn't know what to expect. I was wonderfully surprised. This book is filled with information that I found interesting and practical. I particularly loved the rituals. They covered all the Great Days, and gave information on how to set up an altar, call in the wards, and draw a circle of light, along with a complete liturgy. As someone who has been doing my work with the Goddess solitary, I found this book to be very helpful in my personal quest. I highly recommend this book along with "Celtic Myth and Legend" by Charles Squire. Other Sirona Knight books worth checking out include, "Empowering Your Life With Wicca," "The Book of Reincarnation," and "Celtic Traditions." Blessed Be!!!
A Great Book Detailing A Celtic Tradition
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Many people like into to get into heavy discussions as to what is druid and what is wicca. The problem is that the druids never wrote anything down. This book does not claim to be anything other than what it is--a exploration of a Celtic Tradition that the author was taught and is now passing on to everyone who reads the book. In my travels I have learned several different Celtic spiritual traditions, and in my opinion, the path outlined in "Exploring Celtic Traditions" is one of the best. You be the judge.

AUTHENTIC, WELL-WRITTEN, A MUST READ!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Thank you Sirona Knight! Finally someone has written an authentic book on the Druid tradition. I was unhappily part of the Gwyddonic Order back in the 80's. When I picked up this book, I was pleased that it covers all the information that the Control Freaks that called themselves my teachers were trying to dish out a few pages at a time. Congratulations Sirona on bringing the light to the dark land! There are complete instructions in this book for doing bindings, pentacles, healing works, cones of power, and talismans. There is a complete initiation too, plus instructions on how to gather and make ritual tools. She covers it all in this intelligent, authentic and timely book! Thank you Sirona for sharing the information so we don't have to deal with the bozos anymore. Forget the group thing and READ THIS BOOK! You will be pleased with the intelligent, useful and authentic information inside of it. It's a must read!
