John Michael Greer
Acclaimed author and Archdruid John Michael Greer provides an in-depth beginner's guide to Druidry--a modern tradition of nature spirituality with ancient roots in Celtic traditions. Although we know little about the ancient Druids, their reputation for wisdom and harmony with nature lives on. Today, Druidry is a vibrant, diverse movement with groups and practitioners on every continent but Antarctica. Spiritual rather than religious--more an attitude than an ideology--it can be embraced by people from different faiths and backgrounds. Archdruid John Michael Greer explores the history and basics of Druidry; how to perform Druidic rituals, meditation, and divination; elements of the lifestyle; and advice for placing less of a burden on the Earth. Includes a simple self-initiation ritual for starting on the Druid path, as well as exercises to help you tap into the elements and learn to pay attention to the natural world.

"this is a great starting point for Druidry, but there were some off-ish things the author wrote. at one point, he's writing about how the western method of meditation is easier and more relaxing than "Asian meditation," which rubbed me the wrong way. then, he went on about how, thankfully, there's a revival of western meditation. I'm sure he didn't mean to come off racist, but that was kinda like đđđ, yknow? those are just two different methods of meditation, and it's up to individuals to decide what works for them - there is no better. the real kicker came at the end of the book, in the biographical blurb about the author. THAT is worth a read; it didn't discredit the book or the contents therein, but it did discredit the dude who wrote it. I don't think I'll read anything by him again, but like I said before, not a bad place to start; he also includes additional reading materials and such at the back of the book, which was nice!"
