About this listen
Experience the mystery and magic of contemporary druidry
The Book of Hedge Druidry is for those who feel called to explore a powerful earth-based spirituality rooted in Celtic lore. With hands-on practices as well as fascinating perspectives on what it means to be a Druid, this book walks you through the magic of the liminal realm and helps you fill your own cauldron of inspiration.
Longtime Druid Joanna van der Hoeven guides you in creating an altar and crafting rituals based on the Wheel of the Year and important life passages. You will discover enchanting moon rites and ideas for daily practice as well as insights for working with herbs, spells, and the ogham alphabet. When you step onto the Hedge Druid's path, you learn to work with the in-betweeen places, straddling the boundary between this world and the next and developing profound relationships with ancestors, goddesses, gods, spirits of place, and the Fair Folk.
Druidry is a powerful tradition that evokes the mystical spirit of times past. This comprehensive guide to solitary Druidry will connect you to a higher wisdom for the benefit of all.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

! The only one thing that didn't quite gel at first was the narration. It was OK in the end once I got used to it. The Welsh prenouncations and plant names for UK audience may not be what you are used to. If you are American or Canadian then, happy days. Awesome thanks.
Excellent, very good wisdom and insight

Awful narration
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The narrator's tone wasn't captivating at all, but even a different narrator wouldn't help this book in any way. Van Der Hoeven is simply not a wordsmith. If you have read/listened to life-changing books by naturally gifted storytellers such as Sharon Blackie, you'll know what I'm talking about. There are words and sentences, but they don't flow together, they don't form an organic narrative, they don't speak to one's soul. It all felt like listening to someone narrating a series of very basic Wikipedia articles.
All the info given is on that basic Wikipedia level, with plenty of historically and archaeologically incorrect information that start already in introduction and first chapter. As someone who is both a pagan and an archaeologist, that is a red line that makes a book lose any plausibility for me. Nothing in this book is about druidry, at best it's a very typical New Age, Wiccan mishmash with a bit of druid/Celtic taste sprinkled on top of it. Sticking a druid label on random things doesn't make them druid. Every Irish and Scottish native would probably get fits from this book.
If you have ever read anything on the Celts, traditional or modern witchcraft or magic, and especially if you have read any scholarly work or are a scholar yourself, just avoid this book.
More than underwhelming
