Description:
A Druid's Herbal of Sacred Tree
Medicine
Ellen Evert Hopman
An in-depth look at the history, herbal uses, and spiritual aspects of the
sacred trees in the ancient Celtic Ogham Tree Alphabet
. Details the 20 trees of the ogham alphabet and their therapeutic and
magical virtues
. Examines the Forest Druid practices associated with each tree as well as
the traditional uses in Native American medicine
. Describes the Celtic Fire Festivals and how each tree is featured in these
holy days
. By the author of A Druid's Herbal for the Sacred Earth Year (42,000 copies

The Druids used the ancient Ogham Tree Alphabet to work magic and honor the
dead, surrounding each letter with medicinal and spiritual lore. Poets and
bards created a secret sign language to describe the letters, each of which
is named for a tree or a plant. For centuries this language was only orally
transmitted in order to protect its secrets.

Description:
PRIESTESS OF THE FOREST: A DRUID JOURNEY
ELLEN EVERT HOPMAN
In the tradition of Marion Zimmer Bradley's Mists of Avalon, Ellen Evert
Hopman weaves Druid history and spirituality into an engaging love story.
This Bardic teaching tale is set in a fictional third-century Ireland when
Christianity is sweep-ing across the Celtic Isles. During this time of
crisis, love blooms between Ethne, a Druid healer, and her patient, a Fennid
warrior. Their passionate affair suffers a tragic blow when Ethne is called
upon to become the high queen.
Told from the Druid perspective, Hopman recreates the daily life, magical
practices, politics, and spiritual lives of the ancient Celts during this
historic turning point. Druid holy days, rites, rituals, herbal lore, and
more are brought to life in this Celtic fantasy-illuminating Druidic
teachings and cul-tural wisdom.
