Dalla quarta di copertina

For many, the world Druidry conjures up images of white-robed figures involved in esoteric rituals. But modern Druidry is not wrapped in a veil of secrecy – it is celebrated openly, in the sunlight of the meadow or the shady leafiness of a forest glade. Druids are passionate about the environment, and their worship is above all focused on Nature through the celebration of the changing seasons of the year.

'Spirits of the Sacred Grove' is a very personal journey through the seasons seen through the eyes of a modern female Druid. Emma Restall Orr takes the reader through the cycles of nature, from the chaos of Samhaim or Hallowe’en into the dark of winter, through the energy of spring and into the bright summer months – then back through autumn to Samhaim. At the same time she acts as a guide along the paths of the sacred rituals.

'Spirits of the Sacred Grove' reveals Druidry as an accessible and compelling spiritual path that offers enormous potential for personal healing and empowerment. Exploring rites of passage and weaving in references to many other spiritual traditions, this book is an intensely rich mixture of the ideas and images of a Pagan Druid priestess.

Emma Restall Orr is Joint Chief of The British Druid Order. She is also a tutor of The Order of Bards Ovates and Druids, the largest Druid Order world-wide. An experienced writer and broadcaster, she has been working in shamanic Paganism and Witchcraft all her adult life, embracing Druidry nine years ago in order to practise her spirituality more openly, while also connecting more deeply with the spirits of the land.
