Pagan Portals : The Urban Ovate Softcover Book

Druidry has an image problem. Say the word and people picture Glastonbury at sunrise, white robes, men with beards playing hurdy-gurdy. Brendan Howlin isn't interested in that version.

The Urban Ovate reframes Druidic practice as something psychological, internal, and completely compatible with living in a city, catching trains, existing in a world made of concrete and noise. The Ovate is the seer, the healer, the one who deals in the relationship between the living and the dead, between this world and the other one. That's a tradition with obvious appeal to anyone who moves through dark aesthetic, folk horror, or nature-based spirituality without wanting to move to a commune. It's the Pagan Portals series at its best, specific, useful, stripped of the fluff.

Softcover. Compact and accessible, written for practitioners in contemporary urban environments.
