Spirits of the Sacred Grove - a Review on a Gem of Druidism

Spirits of the Sacred Grove has also been published under the title "A Druid Priestess", although this title is far more fitting for the beauty contained within. From the beginning, the reader is taken on a journey.  We are brought into the world of the author, the world of the modern-day Druid.  This is no dry recitation of history or list of dos and don'ts.  This is a book to be experienced, not read. It is a journal full of passion that engages the soul.

I have had this on my wish list for a long time under it's past incarnation.  It wasn't something I was greatly anticipating - I had simply thought it might be of interest.  When I received the opportunity to review this, I didn't realize that it was one & the same.  Once I discovered this nice little surprise I decided to curl up and read his long-awaited book.  I never dreamed I would be pulled into it int he way I was.  I had expected it to be an interesting look at Druidry that I would slowly read.  Instead I was pulled into her life as she traveled the Wheel of the Year.  It was difficult to put it down!

Within this book you will find a lyric journey - part lesson, part story, part telling of her life.  Each page is brimming with wisdom. It is a book that I cannot recommend enough.  I know I will be pulling it out often, sometimes to study, sometimes to step into her experiences with her Grove, and sometimes for inspiration for my own spiritual path.  In the short time I have had this, it has already become an invaluable asset.  I can only imagine the treasure it will become in the future.
