Other ways to learn:

Despite misleading tooltips, a Shillelagh'ed weapon replaces Strength with the highest Spellcasting modifier for both Attack Rolls and Damage Rolls, no matter if learned as a Druid, Nature Cleric or even via Magic Initiate: Druid.
As it uses the highest spellcasting ability, Shillelagh might result in unexpected colateral effects with multiclassing. For example: a Druid 11 / Wizard 1 will use the higher of Intelligence or Wisdom for attacks, not always Intelligence as previously believed.
It has the equivalent effect as the Infernal Rapier and Sylvan Scimitar, but into a staff or club of the player's choice.
A simple Torch is one of the strongest weapons early game, as it can be enchanted with Shillelagh for 1d8 + Spellcasting modifier⁠⁠Bludgeoning + 1d4⁠⁠Fire damage.
Martial Arts: Dextrous Attacks overrides Shillelagh, causing attacks to use the Dexterity modifier even when Wisdom is higher.
The enchanted weapon can be unequipped, but not thrown or otherwise removed from the inventory.
The Ironvine Shield provides a retaliatory damage effect when the wielder is hit with a melee attack while holding a weapon that has this spell active on it.
Ironwood Club deals an additional 1d4⁠⁠Bludgeoning damage through  Ironwood Harmony if Shillelagh is cast on it.
Shillelagh has the same two incantations as  Flame Blade: Canto Te, Latin for "I enchant you", and Para Bellum, Latin for "prepare for war".
