Stick around to the end of the video and I will have my top five books for
Druidry for beginners. But before that there are some things we should cover
that are more important. Hey there Saplings my name is Danni and welcome to
Esoteric Moment. Today I am doing a highly requested video. That is a video
for "I'm new to Druidry" "I want to start studying or working with Druidry
but I don't know where to begin". First of all my Druidry is not the only Druidry
and the Oder of Bards, Ovates and Druids are not the only order of Druids.
If this works for you and gives you ideas great. But if it doesn't, that doesn't
mean Druidry isn't for you. It just means you need to explore a different avenue
and that's really going to be lots of fun. I encourage you to do so.
The second point is I get questions about "Am I Celtic enough" "My ancestors come from
this area" or " I'm really into reconstructionist Druidry your druid
isn't like that" like "Am i enough?" is kind of the gist of this question. And
you are. You do not have to be Celtic (Celtic whatever that means). You do not
have to come from a certain socio-economic place. You do not have to
have lots of books. You do not have to own your own land. Whoever you are,
wherever you are, Druidry could be a path for you no matter what.
So, explore it if it calls to you. The number one most important thing to
starting in Druidry is get outside. I know this isn't always what some of you
would like to hear but really the truth is Druidry is about the natural world
and connections with the spirit of place and with the old gods and and whatever
connects you to the earth. If you're able take a walk around the block , go to a
park study the plants that you plant in your
windowsill, put more house plants around your apartment, or dedicate
a certain part of your yard to connection and Druidry. Whatever your interpretation
of get outside means, just do it. The key is to start working towards regular
interactions with a particular place, particular landscape, animals, so that you
can practice observation and connection. This is the most important thing.
The wisdom that you gain from establishing a relationship with the natural world is
going to be far greater than anything you will read in a book or watch on a
video. OK, the next thing that comes up pretty often for people just starting
out is how do I get a teacher? How many book should I read? They just want to do
it all right now. So, my advice is be patient with yourself. I really struggle
with patience myself so I understand how hard of an ask this is, but just give
yourself a short time period and a short goal. Maybe you're new to paganism in
general so a year of exploring Jura jury where you read two books and go outside
regularly that might be a great starting if you're new to paganism or you've been
kind of exploring Drury for a while maybe your first-time goal is to explore
working with an order like the order of bardzo bates and druid but whatever it
is just just pick a small goal you don't have to do it all right now just give
yourself time Druidry should grow with you and your life you will never be done
or finished or reach master level it doesn't work like that it's going to
grow and develop with you so give it time and space to do just that my third
piece of advice would be to keep a journal I know everyone kind of says
this in general but it is important that while you're exploring things and going
through all the changes that jury can bring it's really very useful to reflect
and just write down how you're feeling even if it's just
book by the side of your bed and you only write a couple sentences every week
that's fine whatever journaling means to you just kind of
keep track of what is happening in your life and the changes that Druidry is
bringing to it okay let's get into my top five books for beginners number one
and this is the only book that I would suggest you actually purchase rather
than just check out from the library libraries are great if that is the best
way for you to get book I know as I am a librarian this book in particular will
be useful because it's about getting back to nature
so pick yourself up a field guide and I'd really suggest one that's mmm geared
towards people studying Natural Resources not a like pagan field guide
the more you're able to connect and identify and know on that like mundane
fundamental level the area in which you're exploring connecting to the more
confidence you'll have when it comes to the pagan e elements of Druidry and
connection to the natural world the second book would be one and I mean one
beginner druid book so I have tons of book reviews on my channel you could
pick any of them I would narrow it down to penny Billington's the path of Jewry
the Druidry handbook by John Michael Grier or Phillip Carr GoM's druid
mysteries those would be my top three choices and I personally probably go
towards the path of George read by penny Millington but whatever works for you
just pick one give yourself time with one to sit linger and explore if you've
read like a quarter of it maybe even half of it and you're like this this
really sucks then maybe try one by a different author
the big pagan authors all have a little bit different interpretation of Druidry
and just because you don't drive with one doesn't mean that you won't drive
with another one or none of them will work for you and that's okay alright my
third book for you would be some type of myth or folklore I'd really encourage
you to pick up a book or read something about
local area and for me particularly I have found some resources about the
First Nations that were here and they were people's who would build mounds for
sacred sites and their burial mounds so that's been really fascinating and great
to connect with the spirits of place some of those like typical traditional
druid myths would include the Irish folk myth cycles and of course the Welsh
tales that we're familiar with those are great options to wear for would be pick
a side project I'm sure there's something that brought you to Georgie
maybe it was working with the Bartok arts or ancestors or along or herbs
whatever that might be pick a side author to really work on
nimoy Brown has excellent excellent books like pig and dreaming or Drury and
ancestors a book about prayer I'd highly recommend her books if you're interested
in herbalism hoffman's guides are really excellent and there are just a bunch of
book reviews on my whole channel that would maybe work really well as
side-project books you never know where your interests are really gonna lie you
might think oh I really wanted to study om but it turns out you just really were
interested in herbalism be aware of what might change in this era and my final
recommendation is autumn Cara by John Donoghue this is not strictly a druid
book but it is probably one of my favorite favorite books of all time
poetic way he writes is incredible and awe inspiring it's also a key point
about beginning and joori in general be open and aware that things are gonna
change and your interest might change and that's okay you never know where
your druid studies are gonna take you and that's a good thing be open to what
might transform in your life alright that's what I've got for starting out
and really I hope this is helpful to those of you who have been asking or
inspiring to those of you already on your path in the comments
below let me know what seed or kernel brought you to Druidry I love hearing
all the different stories about oh my ancestors really impacted me or I read
