A self-study course in modern Druidry Bardry is a potent, necessary dimension of the ancient druidic tradition. The bards were lorekeepers, great magic workers, and soul singers of healing. They were highly esteemed and considered untouchable by Celtic nobles and otherworldly beings. The Lore of the Bard fills an untended gap in the Celtic tradition. It lays down a philosophy for living in accordance with the Old Ways, with a complete magical practice combining the innate magical properties of objects, locations, and times with the passionately moving and enchanting forces of poetry and music. Selling Features The only book available on the complete practice of the Celtic bard, a distinct but vital aspect of the growing druidic spiritual-magical practice For anyone drawn to the enchantment of Celtic music, myth, and poetry Teaches divination by use of the old techniques: scrying with natural pools, and auguring with the enigmatic Dallan wands Develops a deeper understanding of the forest alphabet, the magically charged ogham script Incorporates both historical and contemporary elements No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Arthur Rowan - the name itself seems contrived to lend authority and/or credence to knowledge about Celtic history and/or Druidry. It's about as cliche as hippies naming their daughter Moonbeam.
If you're going to write a book that you base on history and psychology, write it that way. If you're going to make religious leaps, I can deal with that, and can even encourage that, as long as you don't try to justify your religious leaps with "history" that you don't back up with sources.
I have a very hard time taking anything this guy writes at face value, because he keeps pulling this crap. Not to mention inventing words, like "Celtica" to refer to a Celtic nation of the past. Also, don't romanticize a past culture as if it were the best ever to exist on the planet. The Celts were no better than the Romans, or the Greeks, or the African tribes... stop pretending like they were.
Major, major fouls for nearly violating Godwin's Law in the first few pages of the book and for referring to "true" anything, such as true faith, true art, true Bardry, true Druidry, etc. Immediate disqualification for dumb.
I can't even finish it. :/ I put it down, and I wasn't even a third of the way in. (
