Walking the Ancient Green Way

The Path of Druidry

Tune into the wisdom of three trees sacred to Druids—birch, oak, and yew—and use their powerful lessons and natural gifts to transform your life. Written by a Druid with more than twenty years of practical experience,The Wisdom of Birch, Oak, and Yew will guide you through a one-of-a-kind journey of magical self-discovery. Its unique invitation: change your perspective by “being as a tree” and consider yourself in light of the qualities of our arboreal friends. Engage with the spirit of each tree and explore its relationship to the stages of your life and the rhythm of your days. Experience within yourself each tree's positive attributes, gain perspective by taking on each tree's role as “witness,” and find respite from the frenetic pace of modern life. Praise: “Wise, inspiring, and entertaining, this is a profoundly practical book about nature's magic and how it supports our personal development. I warmly recommend it.”—Dr. William Bloom, author ofThe Power of Modern Spirituality “A very fine book on the deep magic of the trees. Penny Billington shows us how these trees function as guides and initiators, teachers and friends and along the way gives us a first rate introduction to working with the energies of the land to promote healing and new life.”—Ian Rees, Psychotherapist, Trainer, and Program Director of the Annwn Foundation

Connect to the Magic of Trees for Guidance & Transformation

The Wisdom of Birch, Oak, and Yew

Ian Rees

Dion Fortune was one of the most significant occultists of the twentieth century and is still considered to be a major influence on the current Western Mystery Tradition. Fortune wrote one of the first modern accounts of the Tree of Life and the system of the Qabalah that makes ancient mythology and the mysteries behind them come to life here and now. She also wrote a series of novels that on one level can be read as slightly unusual romance novels but on a deeper level contain key images and patterns from those mysteries which speak to our subconscious and, if consciously related to, bring us into a deeper experience of our life and being. The Keys to the Temple is a guide to working with Fortune's writing for your own spiritual transformation. With hands-on exercises and supportive instructions, this book will enable you to directly discover and apply the keys of the temple to your life.
