Welcome to our board Eruanne.

As always, I hope this board serves your needs.
I am open to any suggestions as to how we can improve it or anything
you would like to see added.

Thanks for the welcome. sorry to be so long replying. Unfortunately
we're still living in the dark ages of prepaid internet and I ran out
of hours. I've only recently started to look into druidry and have
been pleasantly surprised to find that this is what I have been doing
naturally my whole life. Coming from an English/Scottish background my
main interests have centered around celtic lore. I have been
celebrating the cycles of the year in my own way for years and find
the idea of a more structured ritual fascinating and very appealing.
At the moment everything I read is very new, so I'm just taking my
time to look around and find out what is happening. I have read a lot
by Phillip Carr-Gomm and Emma Restall-Orr. If anyone can recommend
other authors worth reading, I would appreciate the info.
I think one of the most delightful aspects of discovering other like
minded people is realizing that there are other people who communicate
with trees, animals, departed family, etc, etc and are not phased when
they get a response.

Great to hear from you Eruanne,

I'm glad you were able to sort out your internet and get back to us :)
The ADF web site has a lot of great book suggestions to get you
reading.
Here is the link to start you off.

http://www.adf.org/training/resources/reading.html

There are other resources on the web site as well.
Some of the members of this board are ADF members studying the
Dedicant Path, so you couldn't have found a better place to come and
discuss books!

I have read those authors, which of their books have you read so far?
I have read a lot of Isaac Bonewits books, although the resource I
still use the most is Robert Lee (Skip) Ellison's, The Solitary Druid.

Where in the world are you Eruanne?
We do meet in the inner north of Melbourne for ritual and study and
try to keep the dates on the calendar as up to date as possible.

Welcome!
