Legacy of Druids, A – Conversations with Druid leaders of Britain, the USA and Canada, past and present cover

A book of conversations with prominent Druids from across Britain, the USA and other countries whose voices describe the basic beliefs, practices and struggles of the emerging Druid faith. Conducted in person and online in the late 20th century, these collected conversations provide a historic window into the movers and shakers of the modern Druid world.

At first, I was leery about a book of interviews that were conducted two decades ago. However, once I started seeing this glimpse into the past lives of these spiritual folk, I was fascinated. Not only does Ms. Hopman have interviews of several leaders of the Druid path that have since passed beyond the veil, she includes several follow-ups to the predictions therein. While everyone is aware of the maxim that hindsight is 20/20, these interviews show that truth in sharp detail. Several of the interviews offer unique perspectives from paths divergent from the most popular Druid paths, showing a greater variety of belief systems then I was aware of. It truly expanded my understanding of the possibilities. I especially enjoyed the descriptions of each interviewees' early spiritual education, and their visions of what the Druid path could be in the future. If I had any criticism of the book, it would be that it might have more updates on the interviewees, indicating where they were twenty years later, and if any of their views or paths had changed. -- Christy Jackson Nicholas, author of Legacy of Hunger 2016
