Your review is full of information about druids. I was not aware of their deep concern for the environment and conservation. I appreciated your thoughtful recommendations. Great review!

I find herbalism and healing a fascinating subject, as well. I only wish the author had gone into more detail about that aspect of Druidism. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!

Regardless of the drawbacks mentioned later in the review, I was already pulled in past the point of return by the end of the first para. The history of Druids who lived by principles of being one with nature rather than exploiting it - that seems to be all I needed to know, and nothing that followed could take away from it

Thank you for such an exhaustive and informative review!

Thank you for such an exhaustive and informative review!

It is an interesting book, just a little unbalanced. I've always liked finding out about nature religions myself. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Thanks for dropping in and commenting!

I have no idea what druids. I think this is an opportunity to learn more. Nice review

It's definitely a good option for learning more. You can't stop with this book, however, because she left two Druid paths almost entirely unexplored. Happy reading, and thanks for stopping by and commenting!
