“Ellen offers us another wonderful book that is both superbly researched and written in a very approachable manner. Her many years of experience shine through in this work, and she also teaches us to never stop learning. Highly recommended! I’m sure it will be on every Druid’s bookshelf as one of the classics.”

– Joanna van der Hoeven, author of The Book of Hedge Druidry

“Celtic Druidry is a unique Druid path through the practices and perspectives of Celtic Reconstructivism. For people who are interested in bridging ancient Celtic traditions with modern Druid practice, Celtic Druidry is a great resource that provides thorough coverage of the ancient Druid lifestyles, deities, festivals, magic, and divination. It also offers the modern Druid an accessible set of practices to apply to their ongoing path.”

– Dana O’Driscoll, Grand Archdruid of the Ancient Order of Druids in America

“The trees are singing, animals are speaking, the land is calling—magic is afoot. A wise, skilled, and generous Druidess, a teacher of old ways for a modern world, gifts us with a valuable book of blessings and enchantments to help you remember where you are and why you are here. May the path home open before you.”

– Phyllis Curott, Witch, Wiccan priestess, and author of the Witches’ Wisdom Tarot

“Trying to explain Druidry is a daunting task as there are several explanations and interpretations available. There is also a lot of debate about how ‘Druid’ should be spelled too. Through this book, Ellen has expertly taken on explaining Druidry through her personal lens of experience and understanding in a very easy to read and very easy follow approach. Much of Ellen’s book is anticipating questions and answering them. I like that. By the end—before the end—of reading this book, the reader is bound to become enthusiastic to learn more about Druidism and even become an apprentice through following their own newly enlightened questions. Thank you, Ellen, for making this available.”

– John Willmott, host of Nature Echoes

“Modern Druidry (or Druidism) is fraught with mistakes and pitfalls of false information and practices that have little or nothing to do with ancient Druids. This book goes a long way toward addressing some of the modern misconceptions and pointing the reader in the right direction. While it is pan-Celtic, for want of a better term, it draws heavily on Irish native traditions, which have often been ignored in the past. This is a worthwhile and practical introduction for the beginner or for those who have not developed a sound foundation from which to expand.”

– Luke Eastwood, author of The Druid’s Primer, A Path Through The Forest and The Druid Garden

“Celtic Druidry is compelling and fulfilling in bringing alive the Druid ways of listening to the spirits of nature and the spirits of the Goddesses and Gods to bring healing and health to the Celtic people. Ellen’s book beautifully introduces the ways of the Druids for newbies on their beginning journey. The many incantations for meditation, for the spells the Druids call upon in their practices, are a tremendous source for learning the Druid ways.”

– Nicholas E. Brink, Ph.D., author of The Power of Ecstatic Trance, Baldr’s Magic and Beowulf&rs

“It’s no secret to anyone who knows me well enough that I’ve been a practicing Druid for 6 years, having studied multiple systems and styles of Druidry, and incorporating them into my general practices. That said, I found this book to be a refreshing take on the subject, as it’s a step away from the more ceremonial takes. . . . The style of Druidry that Hopman presents feels more in touch with the natural world, while also acknowledging the need for ritual and ceremony when appropriate.”
