Druid's Tale: An Ancient Path in the Modern World

From the spring of new introductory guides to Druidry, this is a book very much written in the informal style of a modern web blog. Warm, bubbly and accessible, it reveals the honest thinking and wakeful self-reflection that should be the foundation of every personal exploration of Druidry – indeed, any belief system – today. –Emma Restall Orr, Founder, ‘The Druid Network’, Author of ‘Living Druidry’ and ‘Living with Honour’)

‘Cat is one of those rare gems. What you see is what you get and what you get is all good. In this her first book she demonstrates very accurately her own view and personal commitment to her path. Typical of her she is a guide and never dogmatic, but certainly worth following. I was fortunate enough to be at her first talk where we rather put her on the spot and she took up the challenge. I was even more fortunate to be at the following years talk where she filled the room. I am even more fortunate to have her as a dear friend.‘ – John Belham-Payne, Co-Founder, The Centre for Pagan Studies

‘I have stood on a mountain-top in Wales on a freezing dawn after an hour’s hard walk, watching the sun rise over the sea and sharing visions. I have stood in the rain, soaked through, cloak stuck to me and laughing as the wind whips around me, painted with ochre as I dance with the spirits of the forest. I have sat in the dark, alone, at the bottom of a pit, unsure even of which direction to look next, let alone where to step. In the American West, in the days of open frontier, there was a character known as the Wagonmaster, whose job it was to gather folks together in the city, and guide them across dangerous, wonderful and uncharted wilderness to a new life in a new world. Pilgrims chose a Wagonmaster not just by what he had to say, but even more so by how he looked and felt. He looked like someone who had spent ages in the wilderness; felt like someone who understood the unknown. In A Druid’s Tale,Cat Treadwell looks and feels like a spiritual Wagonmaster. She has been there. She has made the journey before. She not only knows how to tell us about it, she knows how to take us in hand and lead us into the wilderness. She is a reliable guide. That is the value of her book. Anyone can write about Druidry, but only a few special folks can take us there. Be prepared for a deep and meaningful journey.’ – Walter William Melnyk, author of ‘Tales of Avalon’, and co-author, with Emma Restall Orr, of ‘The Apple and the Thorn’.
