Priestess of the Forest is a lyrical and deeply spiritual novel by renowned Druid and herbalist Ellen Evert Hopman, weaving a story of love, loss, and transformation through the lens of ancient Druidic tradition. Set in a richly imagined, pre-Christian Ireland, this novel follows Ethne, a solitary forest priestess whose path becomes entangled with that of Romuald, a Christian monk fleeing war and seeking peace.
As two worlds collide—the old ways of the Earth and the rising tide of Christianity—Ethne must navigate spiritual duty, personal longing, and the preservation of sacred knowledge passed down through generations.
Hopman blends storytelling with authentic Celtic rituals, seasonal rites, herbal lore, and the powerful voice of the Earth herself, offering readers a moving initiation into the Druid path.
