The Roots of the Forest is a book that completes the story that
began with Entering the Forest and Walking with Trees. This book
brings together the knowledge and wisdom of the Bards and Ovates,
and introduces various ways of practicing modern Druidism on a
daily basis. With the guidance of Taliesin the Bard, a journey is
undertaken into the world of the Ancestors, and also of one's inner
self. We encounter an Otherworld filled with Celtic heroes and
deities, while we learn how we can honor those heroes, deities and
ancestors, as well as mother earth and her seasons, in a simple and
yet very Druidic way.
Walking with Trees is a book that continues the story of Entering
the Forest, and delves deeper into the wonderful world of Druidism
and Celtic spirituality. This book will introduce you to the
physical and spiritual aspects of various animals and trees. These
trees will be associated with a Celtic alphabet called Ogham, which
can in turn be used for divination purposes.
The Ovate Course is the second in the New Order of Druids' Grove of
Dana college. Whereas the Bardic Course focused on the primary
cosmological foundation of the Druidic tradition, the Ovate Course
delves deeper into practical and experiential work. Topics include:
Awareness practices designed to put the practitioner in direct
contact with their experience of the world. The importance of place
and story in our relationship with nature and soul. Principles of
"sacred warriorship" derived from Celtic and cross-cultural
sources. A further exploration of the map of soul-initiation
presented in the Bardic Course as integration of soul and nature.
Topics in Jungian and ecopsychology with a focus on experiential
work with a strata of the self deeper than personality and ego.
Dreamwork and shamanism. A retelling with complete commentary on
the Irish story of the Voyage of Maelduin and how this myth may be
approached as a practice.
Using traditional myths, cosmology, and the insights of modern
disciplines such as ecology and ecopsychology, the Bardic Course
introduces the druidic student to a way of seeing the world that is
both fresh and ancient - and an awakened way of living in that
world in service to the hearth community. Topics include:
Translations of important mythological stories to illuminate the
lessons and commentaries. An exploration of basic questions such as
"What is Druidism?" Animism and the variety of Celtic views on
divinity. The process of initiation into a soul-centric way of
being in and seeing the world. The fecund power of darkness and the
unconscious in spiritual growth. Forming relationships with the
ancestors. Presence as the language of nature, and learning from
the earth. Ecology, activism, art, sovereignty, and other topics
which provide a clear segue into the Ovate Course. The art of
pilgrimage as a model and practice of spiritual transformation.
Entering the Forest is a book especially written for everyone who
is new to the path of the Druid and Celtic spirituality. Taliesin
the Bard, the narrator of the first phase of your Druid path, will
guide you through all the aspects that form the very basics of
being a Druid. Whether you are young or old, you will learn the
meaning of the Celtic festivals, Celtic culture, art, virtues,
history and mythology... as well as experience the connection with
nature, and Celtic spirituality. You will be guided through the
principles of Balance and Harmony, the various roles of a Bard and
Druid, the Ogham writing, the Life Energy and Place-Bonding.
The Druid Course is the third in the New Order of Druids' Grove of
Dana college. This course focuses more on the religious aspects of
Druidism, with the aim of putting Celtic ritual in practice. Topics

about it. Deities, ancestors and spirits of the land, along with a
list of various Celtic gods and goddesses. Setting up your hearth
or shrine. How to create a ritual, along with examples of rituals
and a personal ritual creation worksheet. The Celtic calendar,
divination and a guide to the Celtic Ogham.
A family looks and sees empty places everywhere- at their kitchen

missing. They find out about a little girl who needs a family. They
go to find her and bring her home and all of their empty places are
filled. A wonderful story of adoption!
