Everyday Druidry

(Nimue)

When I started writing this blog, part of the idea was to explore how Druidry related to my daily life. It’s an ongoing question for me – how can I bring my Druidry to the things I do? What choices can I make that align my life better with my Druidry? If it isn’t obvious why I’ve picked up a topic, this is usually what’s underpinning it.

What I haven’t done (until now) is to try and collate that knowledge into something other people could use. That’s been a really interesting process, including figuring out who I am writing that text for. I’ve gone with the idea that the readers I’m writing for may have limited time and energy to deploy, and are not interested in priestly roles. You can follow the Druid path and have Druidry inform and inspire a great deal of what you do, without undertaking to be a full time or professional Druid.

I’ve explored the idea of Druidry and joy a bit on the blog already, and this will be at the heart of where I’m going with this book. I think joy is essential. I’m bringing together what I’ve learned about how to live well, how to bring richness and meaning so that you can flourish, The book won’t replicate blog content and it’s a bit more instructive than I generally go for when writing for this space. What you’ve seen here are the experimental stages of me wrangling with ideas, what’s coming are the results of my putting in that time.

I’m pleased with how it’s going so far. I like the tone, and this focus on possibility and hopefulness. I think it’s a book plenty of people will find useful – the priesting side of Druidry is all well and good, but it doesn’t of itself give a person that many tools for dealing with everyday life.

While I’m writing it, I’ll be making the work in progress available to Patreon supporters – join at the Bards and Dreamers level for that, as a Steampunk Druid or an Epic depending on how much content you want from me. At some point I will make the book more widely available, but that’s probably a year off. I’m behind with the Druid titles, I’ve got a book on pilgrimage to sort out, and the recently finished one on spirits of place, but with so much other work coming out this autumn, those have had to wait.  When I get there, those will be free/pay what you like ebooks, with paperbacks as well. Making the ebooks free for those who need free books is something I feel more able to do because of the Patreon support.
