Reading Ideas
Complete Idiot’s Guide to Celtic Spirituality. This book is a really great introduction to Druidism and has all kinds of historical references up to developing your own spiritual practice. This could be a good primer for new members to our grove that hasn’t enrolled with a Druid organization yet. Check it out..
