ParticipantGood evening everyone
I just wanted to stop by, say hello and introduce myself. I’m Abi, nature lover, animal lover.
Very new to this path, I think it’s the path for me…it resonates with me on a deep level…I feel at peace in the company of nature, the woodlands, the elements. I’ve been hoping to meet like minded people, chat and learn. Good old google sent me in this direction so here I am 😀
If anyone can suggest any articles/blogs/books to start and help a newbie, it would be much appreciated. Many thanks ☺️

ParticipantHi Abi,
Hope you find what you are looking for here. The Bardic Course is just amazing. For an in-depth introduction to all concepts, try Natural Druidry by Kristoffer Hughes.

ParticipantWelcome Abi. Regarding your question, anything by Philip Carr-Gomm, Penny Billington, Kristoffer Hughes or Morgan Daimler might help you. There are quite a lot of entries in the BDO main page, including Greywolf’s own blog. OBOD has a very good resources section which is open to members and non-members which has a lot of great articles, see https://druidry.org/resources

ParticipantHello Abi, greetings from Istanbul, Turkey!
I’m a new member here as well, just started the Bardic course in BDO, but not new to “all this” overall. Been at it for 20+ years but I’m always learning as we all are. I love reading too and would love to swap recommendations on books etc. I second David’s starting suggestions. I love being in nature and feel at home with the trees and the wildlife; sadly I live in the middle of a very big and crowded city and nature is hard to come by.
Nice to meet you.January 11, 2021 at 12:13 am #12917Balaam Camp
ParticipantHello,
Also new here and looking to listen, commune and develop my current spirituality and connection with nature.
Hope everyone is well.January 12, 2021 at 1:39 am #12922Dave TheDruid-3X3

ParticipantHello, Welcome and Thank you 🙂 I’ve made a lovely list of your welcomed recommendations..A big thank you 🙂 How is everyone doing?

ParticipantI am not too bad Abu, thank you for asking. I hope that you are well too. I was going to recommend The Path of Druidry by Penny Billington as particularly insightful, also The Druidry Handbook by John Michael Greer.
