These descriptions are punctuated with reflective essays that question the boundaries and nature of religion as it is generally understood in the Western world by examining how Druidry might be understood using concepts more appropriate to Druids' conceptualizations of themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kimberly Kirner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350264121\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350264120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/11\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.13h x 6.06w x 0.55d","brand":"Kimberly Kirner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44069637914879,"sku":"9781350264120","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1d3c2b68-fe29-481d-a622-0264649ef18a.jpg?v=1685425716","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/american-druidry-kimberly-kirner-9781350264120","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
