The female in Druidry is a pulse or rhythm, an apparently divided energy in itself, a series of apparent contradictions and paradoxes; a very different type of knowledge, light and power. She is intuition and patience, love and fury, and she is both the ebb and flow of energies, of life and death, renewal and decay. Abroad is meant in the wider sense of out and about rather than being in another country. To analyse the Goddess is to restrict her, her ways are too complex for linear thought. We need to experience her rather than expect to understand her and substitute our restricted vision for a wider, holistic view of this incredible world into which we have been born. This is a book of discovery, intuition and enlightenment — shared rather than taught

This book explores the 'Wattles and Branches' of the Celtic tree alphabets and the tree-lore of the British Isles. It is a wide-ranging explanation of, and commentary on, Celtic tree traditions, covering the Oghams of Ireland and the Bardic alphabets of Wales. These symbolic systems encapsulate the ancestral spiritual traditions of the British Isles; their teachings express the Druidic world-view and ways of thought that contemporary education has forgotten. Ogham and Coelbren contains the variants of the Irish Ogham tree 'alphabet' - its colours, trees, birds and symbols, cryptic codes and hidden inner meanings that encapsulate a creative energy available to-day. The Welsh Bardic system is also detailed, with rare illustrations from scarce texts. A comprehensive appendix details the meanings, correspondences and cosmology that Ogham and Coelbren contain. 

The human way of perception is through the symbols that we perceive either consciously or intuitively around and within us. To facilitate communication, our ancestors developed symbolic languages and alphabets that reflected in an inner way the outer phenomena of existance.

In the traditional society, the symbolic and mythical are integrated with the activities of everyday life: there is no division between the physical necessities of existence and the deeper levels of the symbolic world. There, every thing, every activity, operates on a number of levels, each of which infuses and informs the other.

This work is a Druidic exploration of the ramificactions of our human symbolic understanding of the world, from the perspective of Celtic civilisation, describing the symbolic structures upon which the more familiar signs, symbols and sigils of western spirituality are based.

According to ancient Druidic ethics, the three principle endeavours are to learn and collect knowledge; the second is to teach them; whilst the third is to make peace and to put an end to all injury. To carry out the third endeavour is the objective of the previous two. This book is offered to the reader in this spirit, “For to do contrary to these things is not usual or becoming to a bard”.

This book is an expression of a Druid's Path told in autobiographical form and is about ideas. There are many ways of drawing the cycle of the year, and although the author feels the elements are best drawn across the cross formed by the Fire Festivals, she has opted to appoint the quadrants to the cross formed by the Solar Festivals which gives a better balance of light in the form of sunrises and sunsets across the Elements. Sandra has included mind exercises and examples of practical experiences of working with the elements but readily concedes that in assigning specific thought forms or in forming an opinion:- ?I may be in the minority of one. What I have found to be valid for me does not make it so for anyone else; there are as many Paths as there are people.? These pages will serve you well on your own Journey.
