The 21 Lessons of Merlyn: A Study in Druid Magic and Lore

I love this book. I bought it for a friend so I could keep my copy. Read it at least three times now! Fun story-telling style with lots of interesting information. I also bought the sequel The Lost Books of Merlyn and will review it when done.

This book is like having Merlin himself as your personal guide on your druidry journey. Full of mystic secrets and ancient wisdom, it reads with the charm of a storybook while doubling as a practical instruction manual. For a newcomer like me, it was the perfect blend of enchanting lore and down-to-earth advice—no sugar-coating here, just pure, unfiltered druidic magic. If you’re ready to step into a world where myth meets practicality, look no further!

The 21 Lessons of Merlin was the first book I had ever bought and that was about 20 years ago! And I must say that it is the only book that stays on my coffee table while my other magical books are in my office, and I have many books! It IS that wonderful! If you don't read it for the magick, then read it for the psychology and look inside yourself for the answers that Merlin presented to Arthur for they are there with in you as well. This is a book well worth your time and I highly recommend it for the beginner and a 3rd ! This book will teach you that everything you want, you already have with in you! Just don't be afraid to look and you will find something wonderful :-) Monroe has wrote this book like if someone gave you a nice, juicy watermelon on a hot day, you just can't take one bite !!! His writting style makes you wanna read and read ! Thank you Douglas Monroe :-)

I bought this book primarily because it was a cheap pagan book and I just wanted to read. When I got it, boy was I surprised! This book is actually an impressively awesome read, to the point that sometimes I just can't stop! The book is written very well. Essentially, there's a chapter of story from about Aurthur being taught various things by Merlin followed by a chapter going into greater detail about what was taught and how you can partake in the lesson yourself. It's written in a way that helps you learn it much better and commit it to memory without knowing it. The stories are entertaining and the learning chapters are intriguing. There's tons of information including herbal lore, songs, rituals, mythology, and just doesn't seem to end in knowledge. All in all it's a seriously great book.

I must tell I had some doubts before buying this book, all those vanished completely while reading the first 10 pages. Highly recommended by being the most sutile but at the same time illustrative way of understanding druidry and getting amswers for all those questions, we on the way of understanding this spiritual path usually have. It is amust and really willing to read all the available titles from this author. Full with short stories followed by an interpretation, application and explanation of the motives of each one of the passages it results absolutely practical and earthgrounded so anyone can get deep into all of the Merlyn lessons. AMAZING...!!!

a lesson in druidism, disguised by a story of merlin and a student(arthur). it is an interesting, and informative book. if you have an interest in merlin, arthur, or druids you should enjoy it.

Very good book.Don't listen to the negative ratings.If you have an open mind and are willing to read and think for yourself then this book will be one of your most cherished.The writings let you come to your on ideals and understanding and it will be different for everyone.Which is the point right?I was always trained to read good books and bad ones with the same desire to learn. This book is unbalanced,thought provoking and outside the box, which is the reason it is such a great read.A must for anyone seeking self enlightenment and personal growth through history,magic and myth.A refreshing drink of cold water in a time of repetitive dry teachings.

Book came absolutely perfect! I said used but I can’t tell… I don’t even want to read it because I’m afraid I’ll be the one to damage it. It looks as if it’s never been open! Extremely satisfied!

Excellent read.

Livre prenant et bien écrit. Mais son contenu est faux

Great buy at a bargain price

Do not be fooled by other's opinion on Monroe. Read the book and make your own mind, for here lies true seeds of gnosis, which is the essence of Druidry.

Once I started to read the book I understood how the lessons were being given, Certainly interesting and intriguing... Certain lessons can only be carried out at certain times of the year, so you can expect a long journey if you take this path :)
