About the author
Joanna Van Der Hoeven is represented in the catalogue by a substantial run of books on modern Druidry and related pagan practice, published mainly by Moon Books and Llewellyn between 2014 and 2022. Titles such as The Path of the Hedge Witch, The Book of Hedge Druidry, Zen for Druids, and the Pagan Portals volumes The Hedge Druid's Craft, The Crane Bag, and The Awen Alone sketch a solitary, nature-based practice drawing on Celtic lore, Wicca, and Buddhist ideas of presence. A recurring theme is hedge riding: working alone, without a coven, using folkloric knowledge, ritual tools, and seasonal awareness rather than elaborate ceremony. The Pagan Portals series is aimed at readers new to a given topic, while The Book of Hedge Druidry and Zen for Druids go further into combined spiritual frameworks. The catalogue positions her as a prolific writer for solitary practitioners of modern Druidry and witchcraft.
