When I first met Isaac, I thought he was an odd little man who had to be a bit daft, and was a bit wary about reading one of his books. I was mistaken. Very well researched, thought out and presented ... Read full review

Awens to All:
I got this Book in 2009 and I found it to be a Great Guide to Druidism. It covers all the Ins & Outs of Druidism going over the various Druidistic Organizations that you could become
a Member of.
Isaac Bonewits goes into the Histories and Traditions of Celtic Druidism as well as the Origins of Ancient Celtic Neo-Paganism.
It also goes into the Sacred Sabbaths and their Ceremonies, the types of Magic Tools you might need to know of and also goes into Warnings about the Pitfalls within Druidism as well as other Paganistic Organizations.
I really recommend this Book to anyone who is interested in finding out about the Basics in Celtic Druidism.
