highly recommended

Some good information, but not extremely organized. . .

I did enjoy this books section on the Druid holidays and ritual. Although the ritual format is a tad dry, it gives many solitary practitioner's a starting point, which I'm sure was the author's intention. The reason I give it only three stars is because the rest of the book was laid out and organized kind of poorly, and I didn't walk away from this book with a huge amount of new information. It also covers only the ADF perspective, which is one of many. I would recommend reading it though, if you are interested in ADF style Druidry.

Alright, but could be better

Rev. Robert Lee Ellison writes this book trying to reach out and teach beginners. Unfortunately, he's not very effective. I believe that he has the knowledge, but was unable to write it on the page. The book could have been a lot more informative and could have explained things a lot better. The reader doesn't get a true sense of what the druids believe nor exactly how they practice. There's a lot of history from selected texts that make the ideas unclear.

Good Book for Pagan Personal Communion through Druidry .

This book is very good one concerning the Druid outlook, and the personal keltic relationship one has with Earth-Worship.I would use it in addition to your Druid knowledge already.It's an interesting look into one man's Keltic journey and his own credo concerning Druidry.It's not the weightiest book on the solitudinarian Druid topic,yet it's a good companion book.This druid high-priest has not handed-down a "venire facias" ,allowing an ADF clerical review of this unique work.Yet,I think such a study, by the druid sacerdotalists, would approve of its publication 100% .Good book! -Updated-Dec.17.06.+ I would also say that this book is by a Southern Anglo-Irish gentelman ,who has a profound keen interest and sound understanding of 'Druidry'.There are not that many personal accounts about the 'Solitary Druid' out-there.This is a fine story,albeit somewhat hastily organised.People who mock it,haven't tried reading it first.When is 'Ian Corrigan' writing his book,and if he is what will the title be? Ian does indeed have some useful booklets published,www.rosencomet.com + Bright Blessings for Yule!

Solitary Druid

Interesting fantasy. The actual druidic beliefs are unknown since they left no written accounts of their ceremonies & beliefs.

Not for the beginning Druid researcher

I found this book to be quite narrow in its perspective of Druidry, and if I was new to the study of the Druid path, I think it might have even turned me away. I feel that Ellison promotes his style of practice as a doctrine - that this is "the best" way to do everything. I also found his presentation of historic Celtic lifestyles, such as homosexuality and polyamory to be interesting, but inappropriately placed at the very beginning of the book. I am not new to these lifestyles by any means, but it almost gave a feeling like he was recruiting/promoting them. I don't think of the ADF as a sex cult, but presenting this as early as he did, with several links included, made me wonder.
If you are looking for an entry-level book on the modern revival druid movement, I think you would gain more unbiased information in a more readable format from Greer's "The Druidry Handbook".
Many blessings on your quest.
