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.

Enjoyed this works, it's very interesting thought provoking, and informative. I have listened to this book numerous times and have also bought the paperback edition of this book.

Very informative

Most enjoyable, informative and entertaining book well worthy of being in my collection. I rate it as one of the best books a lone practitioner of Druidry could have. It is loaded with ideas and practices and very rare for me will be visited time and time again in my practice. Joanna has really exceeded in relaying teachings on the subject in this book. One of the best!!!

An Absolute Must Have!

A lovely audio book that is a pleasure to listen to. I’ll be revisiting again many times I’m sure.

Beautiful

I came across this by pure chance. I guess this I how it was meant! I've had a different book on druidry for 10 years and found that heavy going as I am not a man of words! So this fantastic work has given me inspiration to take things in the right direction. All because of Joanna's wonderful book. It has great down to earth material, you can take as much or as little from it as you want. Makes perfect sense to me. The potential in whatever you want from this book is truly Awen! Thankyou for this Joanna, you are so generous and real
! 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

Wonderfully written. I really relate to the author’s take on modern druidry and am amazed by her knowledge. My only complaint is that the narrator is American. Why?? There are so many brilliant narrators here in these isles, who would be far more appropriate.

Rich and enlightening

Great educational informative book, with great suggestions for translating into daily practice. Sad that its finished! Just trying to work out how you access the bonus pdf though does anyone know?

Great book

This is a brilliant guide book! It answered all my questions and gave me much inspiration.

Exactly what I was looking for

It strikes me as a particularly odd choice to use an American narrator for a book about Druidry (every time she says it, it sounds like her tongue is tripping over the word which is unfortunate). There are so many mis-pronounced words and places names it's painful. Luckily this was a freebie in the plus catalogue but I certainly won't be purchasing anything with this narrator. As for the content, as another reviewer has mentioned Sharon Blackie is an infinitely wordsmith.

Awful narration

I've bought this book based on Amazon reviews. I wish I concentrated more on negative reviews because now I find them absolutely correct. The amount of positive reviews is truly shocking. This book was underwhelming in every possible way, a total waste of money and time.

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
