Druidry, like witchcraft, has always fascinated people, and here for the first time Cassandra Eason makes Druidry accessible and relevant to the modern woman. Focusing on the female experience, The Modern-Day Druidess reveals the background to this nature-based tradition and provides a hands-on workbook with practical exercises that teach you how to draw on the power of nature and the land to live in a more harmonious and spiritual way. You will learn:* How to become a modern-day Druidess* The relevance of nature spirituality and the Druidic tradition today* How to create and work with a sacred grove, the Sun and the Moon, and the natural world: trees, animals, herbs and their meanings* How to use Druidry as a form of self-empowerment.

A good starting point,
By White Flower "Trisha" (Everett, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Modern-Day Druidess (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is a great place to start if you are new to druidry and are looking for ways to jump in begin a practice. It is well organized and well written and covers (although lightly) just about everything: personal tools, sacred space, celtic deities, tree symbolism, many types of divination, working with the sun and moon, herbal healing, power animals, connecting with ancestors and the druidic year. It also contains a list of further reading and contact information for many different druid orders.
If you are already established on the druid path, you will probably find this book disappointing. It only has very basic information about each subject and may seem too simplified. It is a very how-to book and if you are already established in your practice, you won't need it. Also, if you are very factual or looking for reconstructionist druidry, the title alone will let you know that this book isn't for you. The term druidess was not used in history and as the title says it is "modern day". Some ideas don't seem to come from any particular tradition and seem rather fluffy. I recommend it to those that know what druidry is and are looking for ways to begin a practice while they research deeper.

This review is from: The Modern-Day Druidess (Mass Market Paperback)
I really did love this book. I picked it up when I was trying to find a wicca 101 book. I wasn't exactly sure what druidism was but I did have a very basic idea. The back of the book sold me. It is very basic and covers a lot. It's a very good beginners book and she covers more reading in case the reader would like to get more involved in the druidic path. It is for the modern-day woman as it teaches how you can keep these nature teaching even if you live in the city, in a tiny little apartment like I do.
