Spirits of the Sacred Grove by Emma Restall Orr
For many, the word Druidry conjures up images of white-robed figures involved in esoteric rituals. But modern Druidry is not wrapped up in a veil of secrecy - it is celebrated openly, in the sunlight of the meadow or the shady leafiness of forest glade. Druids are passionate about the environment, and their worship is above all focused on Nature through the celebration of the changing seasons of the year. Spirits of the Sacred Grove is a very personal journey through the seasons seen through the eyes of a modern female Druid. Emma Restall Orr takes the reader through the cycles of nature, from the chaos of Samhain or Hallowe'en into the dark of winter, through the energy of spring and into the bright summer months - then back through autumn to Samhain. At the same time she acts as a guide along the paths of the sacred rituals. Spirits of the Sacred Grove reveals Druidry as an accessible and compelling spiritual path that offers enormous potential for personal healing and empowerment. Exploring rites of passage and weaving in references to many other spiritual traditions, this book is an intensely rich mixture of the ideas and images of a Pagan Druid priestess.Emma Restall Orr is Joint Chief of the British Druid Order. She is also a Druid and tutor of the The Order of Bards Ovates and Druids, the largest European Druid Order. She has been involved in Paganism for the whole of her adult life and has now stoped her work as a therapist to devote herself to teaching and writing about Druidry. Emma is regularly featured in newspaper and radio articles. She spent much of the early part of her life travelling between Spain, South America and the US and now lives in the South of England.
