Mind, Body & Soul Ezine Book Review: The Mysteries of Merlin - Ceremonial Magic for the Druid Path by John Michael Greer. Published by Llewellyn Books. RRP: US $18.99 : UK £15.99
This is a book of ceremonial magic that will take you through the steps of self-initiation based on Druidry and pagan deities. It’s foundation is three degrees that are taken throughout the year, the Ovate, the Bardic and the Druid. Merlin is used as a deity symbol for spiritual growth, and his legend is provided within the text. Magical influences from the Golden Dawn and modern witchcraft are included, with detailed instructions, building an altar, rituals, meditations, exercises, summoning and banishing with the pentagram, and the use of the tree of life is the basis of spiritual teaching.
The author, John a Michael Greer, has written over 50 books. He is an initiate of Druidic, Hermetic, and Masonic lodges and has served as a Grand Arch Druid of the Ancient Order of Druids in America.
This is an excellent book and ideal for those who do not wish to, or cannot meet with others to perform ritual. Eclectic! Recommended
