The Druid's Primer

[Phaedric]

Has anyone read The Druid's Primer by Luke Eastwood? I'm looking for a beginner's book on druidry that is readable and historically comprehensive without being a dense scholastic tome. Is this comparable to John Michael Greer's beginner manual that is currently on my list to buy? (I was favorably impressed by his geomancy books.)

I haven't read it. But if your looking for information you could check out the New Order of Druids. They have free online classes. I would suggest the youth course if you are completely new to Druidry, I found the adult course harder to understand and it didn't go to the root of Druidry like the youth course did.

Thanks for the tip. I signed up yesterday.

Try Principles of Druidry, by Emma Restall Orr. I went a bit backasswards in my brief foray into druidry, reading her Druid Priestess first; it's absolutely beautiful, but left me headscratching. Reading Principles after that was a whole series of light bulb moments.

Cool. Which course did you end up taking?
