Inhaltsangabe

This new edition was written out of the need to provide an introduction to the Druid Way based on a Celtic metaphysic. The authors bring a wide experience of druidic practice and thought to bear and present a work that will allow those new to the Way to take their first steps with confidence. However, it is also a book that will be of immense interest to those who are already Druid as it approaches the subject with a fresh vision and a passion that will inspire many to re-examine their roots. The book is divided, appropriately, into three sections. The first part, 'How the World Came To Be', looks at ancestral Celts and Druids and examines not just the history of the Druid Way, but also the metaphysic that gives it continued life. The second part, 'The Shape of the World', explores some of the philosophical concepts of the modern Druid Way as well as the importance of the Matter of Britain in understanding what it is to be Druid. The final part, 'Working in the World', looks at some of the practical aspects of being Druid.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Graeme K. Talboys was born in Hammersmith. He has had nine works of non-fiction published (on museum education, drama, and matters spiritual) and written more than a score of novels. The first of those (written when he was seventeen) was lost on a train. The next two (written in his early twenties) he wishes had been. Thankfully, hes had considerably more success with writing since then with short stories, poems, and many novels published. His previous jobs have included market gardener, shelf stacker, pot boy, sandwich maker, and factory floor maintenance operative (broom provided). As an adult his first job was acting, followed by teaching Drama and English. Some of his pupils still speak to him. He later worked in museums where he felt right at home among the ancient, broken objects. He now lives in Scotland.
