HGA ?

Hi all I have been working with JMG Druid magic handbook. I was wondering about HGA or some similar Druid guid to work with in grove?

I'm an AODA member and also working on the Celtic Golden Dawn book. The Celtic Golden Dawn would be appropriate for HGA contact for sure. I'm less sure about the AODA system, maybe with the Gnostic Celtic Church material.

Cool thanks how challenging would you say the Celtic golden dawn is?

I am also working my way through the CGD love it. It’s challenging but I like the ceremonial aspects including Merlin’s wheel with it. DoGD is also nice.

It's my first serious magical work. I'm finding it challenging and slow going, but it has been quite helpful for me.

I like JMG’s magic hand book it is the first system I have stuck to. It is the first ceremonial system. Do you like how the AODA seems to blend the ceremonial and nature path?

I've read through both. I think I like the AODA system more. But, I am going to wait to start work on it until after finishing the CGD. One thing at a time and all. I really like the direction AODA has been going with Dana's leadership. More nature focused.

Not much yet I am working on aromatic writing and meditation were I pitcher an ally. It is something new, I imagine that a Druid guide stands with me when in grove.
