Zen Druid: A Paganism for the 21st Century

Earth based spirituality is the bedrock of human interaction with Nature, the Cosmos and our fellow human beings. In times of great change, while the impetus is for reassessment and renewal, the field has become confused with different schools and methodologies. There are arguably now as many schools as there are practitioners. Zen Druid - a Paganism for the 21st Century is a radical re-imagining of the core values of this spirituality; a return to first principles. It strips away all that is superfluous to reconnect with the Earth. By using the principles of Zen and taking a Celtic approach to Earth-centred spirituality, the book moves the reader from wherever they are on their personal journey to somewhere that allows them to know themselves, the workings of this universe and their place within it. Zen Druid - a Paganism for the 21st Century goes back to first principles, dividing the universe into the five aspects of the Goddess: Creator, Lover, Nurturer, Protector and Crone. The work is divided into five sections along these lines with a mystical/Zen conclusion entitled The Apple and the Oak. The reader is taken on a journey from the inner to the outer and back again.
