Review
This book really stands out amongst the other Druidry/Druidism ones I’ve read. While it does tackle some of the foundations and basics of Druidry, it is mainly a chronicle of Orr’s journey from student to teacher and all she learned and came in contact with through the transition. Read more

The Irish Celtic Magical Tradition by Steve Blamires

The Irish Celtic Magical Tradition: Ancient Wisdom of the Battle of Moytura by Steve Blamires. © 1992 Thorsons Publishers. ISBN 1855381494. Paperback. 208 pages. [ Purchase ]

Synopsis
This is the first full interpretation of a complete ancient Celtic legend, “The Battle of Moytura’” that reveals the details and wealth of information contained therein on the ancient Celtic magical and spiritual system. The legend is explained in full on its three interlinking levels – physical, mental and spiritual. Each section of the book gives practical exercises and meditations that enable the reader to find the keys to unlock, understand and utilise other such ancient Celtic legends.

Review
Full of weird interpretations and loaded with Ceremonial Magic. A book that “Celtic” Wiccans would love, but definitely not one for serious Celtic followers.

Rating: 1 stone circle out of 5
