Editorial Reviews

"Similarly, in Exploring Celtic Druidism: Ancient Magick and Rituals for Personal Empowerment, Sirona Knight (Dream Magick) reviews the history, beliefs and celebrations of the Celtic Gwyddonic Druid tradition, of which she has been a third-degree craftmaster for more than 13 years. She describes Druidism's eight Great Days of the year, offers instructions in performing the five magical Druid works and explains how readers can achieve a greater sense of self through this ancient religion. Druidism is based on a communion with nature and oneness with the universe. Moreover, it is a religion that honors both gods and goddesses, the latter a popular New Age subject among women in particular, which Knight credits as contributing to renewed enthusiasm for Druidism." —Publishers Weekly, Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc.
