BOOKS
Reformed Druids like stories and short pithy wisdom sayings. Over
the years, various Arch-Druids have collected good stories to share
with their fellow Grove members, especially during the meditative
part of the Order of Worship. Some consider the meditation to be
the very heart and purpose of the ritual, so chose a selection care-
fully. If you can’t find one, perhaps one of these may work for you.
At Carleton, the first Green Book (named after its cover), proved
influential, but the 2nd and 3rd volumes seem much less so.
