Description
Celtic Druidry by Ellen Evert Hopman is a handbook for becoming a modern Druid. It explains how to make and use the essential tools of a Celtic Druid and how to create Druid rituals for seasonal rites, blessings, and other sacred observances. The book details Druidic magical techniques and divination practices, as well as plant spells for performing magic with herbs. It also explores the Gods and Goddesses of the Celtic pantheon, Druidic cosmology, and the Druidic festivals that occur throughout the year.
In this authentic handbook for the Celtic Druid path, Ellen Evert Hopman shares lessons, rituals, and magical techniques drawn from the ancient wisdom teachings of the Celts, as well as a modern Druid Order created by the leading minds of twentieth-century Celtic Reconstructionism.
Hopman begins by exploring what we know about the original ancient Druids, citing Druid-contemporary sources such as Caesar and Diodorus Siculus as well as transcriptions of Druid oral teachings. She explains the basic tools and clothing of a Celtic Druid, including instructions for making the essential tools of the craft, such as the crane bag and the apple branchβthe tool used to open a Druid rite. She explores meditation techniques based on ancient texts and discusses the Goddesses and Gods of the Celtic pantheon, Druidic cosmology, and the Druidic festivals that occur throughout the turning of the year.
Hopman shares invocations for connecting with specific deities and elements and also outlines the basics of Druidic liturgy, enabling you to create Druid rituals for seasonal rites. She shares charms and incantations for abundance, protection, and healing, as well as plant spells for performing magic with herbs. The book discusses many forms of Druidic divination, including interpreting omens and divining with the ancient Ogham alphabet.
Exploring the special connection between humans and Nature, a core component of Druidic practice, the author explains how to bond with Nature and the Sacred Land, and the important connection between Druids and trees.
