Pagan Portals: Australian Druidry, Softcover Book

Most books on Druidry were written for people standing in oak groves in Wales, not scrubland outside Melbourne. This one actually knows where it is.

Written by Julie Brett, Pagan Portals: Australian Druidry does the necessary and overdue work of grounding Druidic practice in the Australian landscape, its seasons, its native plants, its particular sense of ancient and uncanny. For practitioners of nature-based spirituality in this country, working with imported frameworks that don't map to our land or our sky has always been the compromise, and Brett takes that seriously. This sits in the broader Pagan Portals series as a supplement to existing Druidry study, but it works as a standalone for anyone drawn to dark, earth-rooted spiritual paths in an Australian context. The alternative and pagan communities here have long deserved something that speaks to this place specifically.

Softcover. Compact but substantive, written for real practice rather than armchair reading.
