About the author
Brendan Howlin is the author of two books on Druidry published by Moon Books, part of its Pagan Portals series and related titles. The Handbook of Urban Druidry (2014) presents Druid practice adapted for readers living in cities, framing the tradition in accessible terms distinct from more rural or rustic images often associated with it. Pagan Portals - The Urban Ovate (2016) continues this project, developing the specific role and path of the urban ovate within Druidry in more depth. Both books focus on making Druidic practice workable within an urban setting rather than presenting it as tied to countryside or wilderness ritual. They are aimed at readers already interested in modern Druidry who want guidance suited to city living rather than a general introduction to Paganism.
