The 'BACK TO BARDIC' Druid Camp 2008
For the 2008 camp we had a lovely selection of photographs submitted so the review is mainly in pictures.

 At the morning meeting, your hosts Mark and Bobcat let the camp know what is on offer for the day. |
| Usually there are at least four workshops at any time, exploring Druidry and related subjects, including wildcrafting (above left) with James Watson, Bardic Chair winners Robin Herne and Talliessin, Anglesey Druid and author Kris Hughes, and camp hosts Mark Graham and Emma Restall Orr. | |
 |
 |
| Each year there is a ritual put on by the whole camp: this year it was an exploration of the different languages, wisdom and stories of nature - birds, fish, reptiles, amphibian, insects, herbivores and carnivores, a different groups presenting each. It is playful, creative and at the same time devotional. | |

We also had the extraordinary harpist Sian James, celebrated protest band Seize the Day (left). Psychadelic folk, Magicfolk (below), played on Saturday night. |

| Respected performance poet, Jade Moon, gave her a set, as did the wonderful Cornish stand-up Anna Kerl (right). The ever popular Damh the Bard played to a much appreciating audience, and Talliessin gave us some grisly folktales pertient to the harvest festival of Lughnasadh or Lammas. |  |
