Druidry and Wicca are the two great streams of Western Pagan tradition. Both traditions are experiencing a renaissance, as more people long to be spiritually rooted in a love of nature and the land. In this down-to-earth, inspiring audio guide, Philip Carr-Gomm offers a name for this path that draws on common beliefs and practices of Wicca and Druidry: DruidCraft. Philip’s book of the same name draws on the traditions of scholarship, storytelling, magical craft, and seasonal celebration of both the Craft and Druidry to offer inspiration, teachings, rituals, and magical techniques that can help you access your innate powers of creativity, intuition, and healing.

Philip’s audio meditation features music with the healing powers of the Golden Mean, composed by Charlie Roscoe.
