A Bard's Book of Pagan Songs: (click for picture) Stories and Music from the Celtic World - CD included by Hugin the Bard Lady of the Moon, Maiden, Mother, Crone, Granter of the Boon, With you we're not alone. We honor you tonight, As we read the rune. Love within your light, Lady of the Moon. These are the lyrics to just one of the more than fifty songs, chants, and invocations you'll find in A Bard's Book of Pagan Songs by Hugin the Bard. The book begins by explaining the nature of a bard's life. It is more than just singing songs. It is sharing the ancient stories and helping to build the community. It is functioning, when need be, as a spiritual guide. And it is being able to entertain with song. There are two types of songs in this book. First, there are more than a dozen songs based on stories from the ancient Welsh book, the Mabinogion. Songs include "Rhiannon of the Birds," "Caswallon's Quarry," and "The Dreams of Arianhrod." The second part of the book has over forty songs, chants, and invocations, beginning with one for each of the major festivals such as "The King Shall Return" for Imbolc and "Dark Night" for Samhain. Then there are a wide variety of tunes that share Hugin the Bard's thoughts, experiences, and ideas, such as "Knights of the Moon, "They Call Us Witches," and "Goddess Delight." For each piece of music you will find the story or explanation for it along with the lead sheet, lyric sheet, and chord chart. In order to really experience this music, every copy of this book now includes, absolutely free, a CD featuring sixteen of the songs from this book! 8 1/4"x 10" - Paperback - 60 min.

They were wizards, storytellers, teachers and spiritual leaders. They were attuned to the Earth and the Sun. And they were very powerful. Wouldn't it be amazing if you could be a Druid? Now you can, with the secrets revealed in Druid Magick. This book presents everything you need to know to become a Druid and even start your own Druid "Grove" (the name of a Druid group). You'll learn about the Druid's tools - the sickle, wand, cord and more - and how to make and use them. You'll discover all of the beliefs the Druids hold, including the emphasis on honor and ethics. You'll learn how a Druid sees the Divine in everything and how even sex can be sacred. And of course you'll learn the secrets of the magic of the Druids. You'll learn how to do protection spells and how to use magic to find missing items. You'll learn how you can visit other "worlds" or levels of reality. You'll even learn how to do shapeshifting and experience the world as an animal! Are you having a mental block? With this book you'll learn how to tap into the creativity that was a hallmark of the Druids. You'll be able to write, draw, write or perform music with much greater ease and depth than ever before. Become a Druid can bring you all this and more! Druidry is far more than historic Celtic leadership. It is a living, growing, spiritual tradition that can bring you more self-assurance and self-development than you've ever had before. Jump out of the ordinary! Try something new to bring that spark back into your life.
