How can I learn more about Druidry?
People often ask ‘What books should I read to learn about Druidry?’ Here is our favourite reply!
Dance until you feel the energy running through you like fire.
Place your hand upon your chest, over your beating heart, and say to yourself:
"This too is alive. This too is divine."
Sit and hold a cat or a dog, or a child, or a friend, or a lover,
warm against you, until they sleep at peace. Feel their breathing, and say:
"This too is alive. This too is divine."
Walk among the plants of a field or forest, park or garden, watching them drink in the sun
-- and again in moonlight or starlight, hearing small animals calling out to each other, prolific life unseen
Lie on the grass, or wade into the pond or stream, and say:
"This too is alive. This too is divine."
Look out sometimes, out and up, to the sun and the moon and the stars.
Marvel at the scale, the sheer inconceivable size, of our universe,
and the equally incomprehensible scale of the thing we call "time". Say:
"This too is alive. This too is divine."
After that, read any book you like! Or none of them!
