I've read excerpts online before, but having the full text is different. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles. Would buy from this store again.
Came across this title in a footnote and had to track it down. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. Shipping was quick too.
I've read excerpts online before, but having the full text is different. It's become a regular reference in my practice. Will be gifting a copy to a friend.
Greer’s text is a seminal volume that effectively outlines three primary paths: Sun, Moon, and Earth. It provides necessary tools for building an earth-honoring lifestyle rooted in reverence for nature. However, it does NOT suit readers seeking purely theoretical historical analysis or those uninterested in practical ritual application. It may also disappoint those looking for traditional Wiccan structures rather than Druidic frameworks. The book demands a commitment to daily harmony with nature, making it less accessible to casual hobbyists. It is best for those ready to engage deeply with ecological spirituality and ancestral Celtic roots.
