The Celtic Golden Dawn: An Original & Complete Curriculum of Druidical Study

A truly exceptional work created by John Michael Greer, the current Grand Arch-Druid of the AODA, a traditional Druid order rooted in the Druid Revival of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, offering an opportunity for modern people to experience the teachings and practices of Druidry in today's world. This book offers in my humble opinion an exceptional curriculum that any serious Bard, Ovate or Druid would benefit from incorporating into their personal magical path. I purchased on the strength of John Michael Greer excellent (The Druid Magic Handbook), which I would recommend as the perfect companion.

In hardback this is a beautifully produced, quality publication written by an authority in the field, and such good value.

Very informative book

The author presents the Golden Dawn rituals in Celtic clothes, thereby introducing the way of life of Ovates, Bards and Druids in a ritual manner. Rituals for opening and closing temples in the different degrees are given. Interestingly, the author bases his magickal system on the golden chain of Homer as well as the ancient system of Greek medicine. This book is for people who want or have to grow from magickal childhood into magickal adulthood. The book opens new pathways for further research into different areas of competence including mathematics (geometry). It is fun and a nice and succesful attempt to forward mankind into a collection of serious students of the mysteries of the universe.

Very much a text book or teaching manual on the subject. For me personally I was too much to follow but I will use it as a resource/reference book.
