Penny and her work have been at the heart of OBOD for the for the first quarter of the twenty-first century. As the editor of the order’s magazine, Touchstone, for 22 years, Penny curated the artistic expression of the Order with generosity and good humour. Her editorial ethos ensured that every author got the opportunity to show their work off at its best. She also helps members develop their practice through the Meditation, Visualisation and Ritual Workshops, which she runs with Matt McCabe and Gary Llewellyn, and her contributions to the online series Tea with a Druid and The Private Magician’s Club.However, it is for her own writing which Penny was made an honorary bard in 2024. Her three books with Llewellyn – The Path of Druidry (2011), The Wisdom of Birch, Oak and Yew (2015) and Nine ways to Charm a Dryad (2022) – explore aspects of Druidry in an engaging and magical way, opening the path to new readers whilst deepening the practice of those who have walked the Druid way for many years. In 2022, she collaborated with Ian Rees to explore the work of her magical mentor, Dion Fortune, in the book The Keys to the Temple. Just like Fortune, Penny explores magical themes and ideas, specifically in her booklet detailing a practical experiment in Druid magic, How to stop the Rain: Conversational Magic with the Cosmos, and through fiction. Her Gwion Dubh: Druid Investigator series wittily frames Druidic philosophy within the genre of detective fiction. A talented poet and mean washboard player to boot, Penny’s work is an ongoing source of inspiration for members around the world.
