The Druids - Celtic Priests of Nature
by Jean Markale

A comprehensive and revealing look at the druids and their fundamental role in Celtic society that dispels many of the misconceptions about these important religious figures and their doctrine. Druidism was one of the greatest and most exalting adventures of the human spirit, attempting to reconcile the irreconcilable, the individual and the collective, creator and created, good and evil, day and night, past and future, and life and death. Because of the oral nature of Celtic civilization our understanding of its spiritual truths and rituals is necessarily incomplete. Yet evidence exists that can provide the modern reader with a better understanding of the doctrine that took Druidic apprentices 20 years to learn in the remote forests of the British Isles and Gaul. Using the descriptions of the Druids and their beliefs provided by the historians and chroniclers of classic antiquity--as well as those recorded by the insular Celts themselves when compelled, under Christianity’s influence, to utilize writing to preserve their ancestral traditions--Jean Markale painstakingly pieces together all that is known for certain about them. The Druids were more than simply the priests of the Celtic people; their influence extended to all aspects of Celtic life. The Druids covers everything concerning the Celtic religious domain, intellectual speculations, cultural or magical practices, various beliefs, and the so-called profane sciences that have come down from the Celtic priesthood. This is a 276-page trade softcover book.

The Making of a Druid (hc)
by Christian J. Guyonvarc`h

Because ancient Druidic knowledge was transmitted orally, most of what has been represented as the teachings of the Druids has been conjecture or fantasy. Now eminent Celtic scholar Christian J. Guyonvarc`h tears away the obscurity surrounding what the Druids taught and how they taught it with his magisterial examination of the little-known Celtic text, Imcallam in da Thuarad, generally translated as The Colloquy of Two Sages. Up to now, this text has been regarded as merely an elaborate battle of wits between two bards; a dispute centered on a younger bard’s attempt to unseat an older bard’s position in the court of Conchobar. Thanks to the present translation and its accompanying commentary, we now can see that this text depicts the examination by a teacher of a Druidic candidate. Consequently, the reader gains valuable insight into the actual nature of Druidic science and the vast store of knowledge--acquired over an arduous fifteen- to twenty-year period--necessary to become a Druid. Both modern Druids and Celtic aficionados alike will find The Making of a Druid a fascinating storehouse of forgotten wisdom. This is a 133-page hardcover book.

Nordic Runes
by Paul Rhys Mountfort

Nordic runes are a potent and profoundly transformative magic system that gives contemporary readers access to the ancient wisdom tradition of Northern European cultures. The runes have deep resonance within the pagan Norse world of gods and goddesses, giants, dwarves, warriors, and wizards, which have greatly influenced the work of J.R.R. Tolkien, among others. Norse tradition attributes the discovery of the runes to the "All-Father" Odin – a god of inspiration and secret wisdom and the mythical prototype for runecasters – who established the pattern for gaining his knowledge. Nordic Runes addresses three major areas: Runelore, the history of this 2000-year-old Norse oracle; Runestaves, the meaning of the individual runes of the Elder Futhark alphabet and their powerful mythological, magical, and practical lessons for daily life; and Runecasting, a comprehensive guide to the oracular application of the ancient runes, including their crafting, divination, and self-development. As Nordic Runes shows, the runes do more than simply reflect the path of fate; they help develop and enhance intuition. By learning to cast and interpret the runes, the user becomes receptive to the energy currents in material reality and empowered in the arts of its transformation. This is a 277-page trade softcover book.
