This book is based on the tenets of Buddhism and Druidry. She mentions that if any part of the book does not resonate with the reader, to just flip the page and continue. The author has a relaxing reading style. I felt at peace as I was reading this book. Her words made so much sense to me. It is so natural to blend the two religions. If you are Buddhist or Pagan, you will enjoy reading this book.
