In this beautifully-written guide, Chief Druid Philip Carr-Gomm shows how the way of Druids can be followed today. He explains the ancient history and inspiring beliefs of the ancient Druids; Druidic wild wisdom and their tree-, animal-, and herb-lore; the mysteries of the Druids' seasonal celebrations; their use of magic; and how their spirituality relates to paths such as Wicca. This guide shows how the wild wisdom of the Druids can help us to connect with our spirituality, our innate creativity, the natural world, and our sense of ancestry.

Summary: Overview of Druidry, ancient, not-so ancient and modern...
Comment: Review from October 20, 2004:
According to the author, he started off doing a new edition of "The Elements of the Druid Tradition", but ended up with a (mostly) new book, so some of this may be familiar.
What does this book cover?
A basic history of Druidry - ancient, the 17th century revival, and modern Neopagan (mainly in the form of OBOD - the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids, of which the author is the current head).
It will give you an overview of what we know of how druidry was, and is now practiced, especially the theology of OBOD, but despite the exercises at the end of each chapter, I feel they're more designed to get you to confront your ideas of who the Druids were, what it's like now, and establish whether Druidry is the right path for you (all very valuable), rather than actual hands-on practice of Druidry (on the other hand, I'm coming from a Wiccan background, which does have more of a "do first, think later" approach).
While I think different people would get different things out of this book, personally I found the history most interesting, and hope that someday (soon?) some Druid scholar will write a work comparable to Wicca's "Triumph of the Moon" by Ronald Hutton. In the meantime, this covers something of the history of Druidry and Neopagan Druidry in Britain, as well as the connections between the founder of OBOD, Ross Nichols, the founder (to my knowledge) of Wicca, Gerald Gardner, and other occult figures of the time. If someone fleshed it out a bit more, and covered the evolution of Neopagan Druidry in America as well, I think it would be a work well worth reading just for the history. :)
