Old Gods, New Druids
Robin Herne
O Books, 2009
The universe is filled with countless gods, goddesses and nature
spirits. Many made themselves known to the Druids of ancient
Northern Europe. How can modern day Druids make contact with
these age-old Beings?
´Old Gods, New Druids´ offers a series of twenty humorous and
informative lessons that can be used for group or solitary study
and is ideal for people interested in Druidry and the Pagan
spirituality of ancient Britain and Ireland.
Learn about the ancient Gods and other spirits, along with
methods of honouring them through ritual, mysticism, poetry and
storytelling. Find a spiritual discipline that embraces responsible
hedonism whilst venerating the Land and all her children.
The growing worldwide interest in the old polytheist religions has
led people to attempt to reconstruct the shattered traditions of
earlier times. This book provides a model for recreating a working,
coherent theology for anyone wanting to commune with their Gods
and the Living Land, regardless of their origins or heritage.
"This is a very fine exposition of Druidry, fluent, graceful
and witty, not only in terms of its content but also in the
way it is expressed."
Emma Restall Orr, Head of The Druid Network, founder
of Honouring the Ancient Dead, author of Living Druidry, Living with Honour:
A Pagan Ethics, and Kissing the Hag, among others.
"Robin Herne´s new book is a well-written and insightful
account of polytheistic Druidry as practised by his group in East Anglia."
Dr Mark Williams, Celticist, at Peterhouse, Cambridge
