Inner Traditions:Herbal Prescriptions after 50

From the Mailbox...

I received the Spring/Summer 2007 Catalog of the Inner Traditions/Bear & Company.

Nothing of particular interest to Druids except possibly several Masonic books including Isaac Newton's Freemasonry and The Secret Message of Jules Verne.

However, for Bard's The Triumph of the Sea Gods: The War Against the Goddess Hidden in Homer’s Tales, by Steven Sora is of particular interest. It promises to compellingly argue that "Homer’s tales are adaptations of Celtic myths that took place off the Iberian Peninsula around 1200 B.C." I'll add this one to my I'd like to read list.

Under the Seer's Path,Herbal Prescriptions after 50: Everything You Need to Know to Maintain Vibrant Health. Besides offoring herbal remedies for various conditions associated with aging, it includes informaiton on more than 150 herbs, their actions, preparation methods, and recommended dosages. Along the same lines is Adaptogens: Herbs for Strength, Stamina, and Stress Relief. Reveals how Adaptogenic herbs (tonics) can be used to counter the effects of age and stress.

Scotsman Heritage & Culture - Genealogy

The Scotsman magazine has a website with a section on genealogy. Besides really good articles about tracing your family heritage and a Genealogical Clinic, they have digital archive which contains every issue of the Scotsman from 1817 thru 1950. Scotsman Heritage & Culture - Genealogy

A search for "druid" results in 780 articles. Of the first ten, three relate to sports. Of the remaining seven, several look very interesting. "Pitlochrie - The Druid Circle" from 1879 and an 1891 article about "Druidical Remains" are entriging. http://archive.scotsman.com/

SOF: Pagans Ancient and Modern [Speaking of Faith� from American Public Media]

I ran into a Public Radio page on Speaking of Faith where on "Pagans: Ancient and Modern" are highlighted. There is a slideshow that is really good. Even includes an image of a Druid blessing a crop of misstletoe.

The main page

provides several audio stories. I thought it was worth listening to. Certainly makes me want to learn much more about Ivan Kupala.

Books: Trioedd Ynys Prydein : The Triads of the Island of Britain (Hardcover)
by Rachel Bromwich

For those who are serious about Welsh tradion, Trioedd Ynys Prydein promises to be an important edition to your personal library. To be available in the United States in February, 2006, this is a 768 page page hardcover published by the University Of Wales Press. The $145.00 price tag will put off all but the most serious of scholars. I hope it will eventually come out in trade paperback. Rachael has at least nine other books regarding Welsh literature, poetry, and studies.
