The Dolmen Arch 2 in Paperback

[ecosophia]

It's taken a while, but I'm delighted to report that the second volume of The Dolmen Arch, my reconstruction of a century-old American Druid Revival correspondence course, is now available in paperback. This and the previous volume (also available in paperback) were originally issued in a fine edition by Arcane Wisdom Press, appropriately enough, but a more accessible edition for everyone was always on my agenda.

Volume 2 covers the three grades of the Greater Mysteries. Here's the publisher's blurb: 

"Based on a correspondence course circulated among American students of Druidry in the early 20th century, and reconstructed from the surviving fragments by widely respected Druid and occultist John Michael Greer, the Dolmen Arch is a comprehensive course of Druid occultism and nature spirituality. This second volume contains extensive instruction in the three grades of the Greater Mysteries -- the Gradd y Gwyddon y Ffordd (Grade of the Loremaster of the Path), Gradd y Gwyddon y Cylch (Grade of the Loremaster of the Circle), and Gradd y Gwyddon Rhydd (Grade of the Free Loremaster), comprising more than 100,000 words of instruction in the inner teachings of traditional Druid Revival occultism. Along with plenty of philosophy, symbolism, and the hidden meanings of Welsh legend, these lessons cover methods of practical magic, spiritual healing, and the skills needed to teach and initiate students into the mysteries of the Dolmen Arch."

Interested? If you're in the US, you can order a copy of Volume 2 here (and, if you don't have it yet, Volume 1 is here). Elsewhere, well, the publisher doesn't have a website that sells direct to the public, but you should be able to go to any full service bookstore or online retailer and have a copy on its way to you promptly.

Wonderful news! Though I am still working my way through the second grade, and thus a ways off from needing this, I'll be very glad to have a "working copy" that I can throw in my backpack when the time comes.

Yes!

Perfect timing since I'm working through Grade 4! Woo-hoo! Ready to get to work.

I have it in hardback. My goal is to get all of your works in hardback. If your publisher won't issue a hardback, I'm learning to bind books, and I'll make my own.

Woo hoo! I'll admit, I haven't even started working through Dolmen Arch 1 yet, but I know will and I am happy to be able to get a copy of volume 2 so I'll have it when I am ready.

My book budget for this month has gone to the Syrian Arab Red Crescent to assist them with the devastating earthquake.

Unless you manage to write another book before then, I'll order a copy next month!

Delighted!

Congrats! Delighted to hear it, even though I have to echo the notion that it's still way off for me.

I just ordered the paperbacks, but are e-books in your agenda? Thanks.

You'll have to talk to the publisher -- I have no say over the formats they choose to use. That I know of, they're not planning on an ebook release, but I could be wrong.

Just ordered it. I have the hardcovers too, but I like taking notes in the margins and I wanted to wait for them to come out in paperback for this.
