The Earth Path

America's most renowned witch and ecofeminist offers a sequel to her bestselling classic 'The Spiral Dancer', weaving together the latest findings in environmental science with magical spells, chants, meditations and group exercises to create the ultimate primer on our relationship to the earth.

From the earliest times, respecting our interdependent relationship with nature has been the first step toward spirituality. Earth, air, fire and water are the four elements worshiped in many indigenous cultures and celebrated in earth-based spiritualities such as Wicca. In 'The Earth Path', America's best-known witch offers readers a primer on how to open our eyes to the world around us, respect nature's delicate balance, and draw upon its tremendous powers.

'The Earth Path' explores the core material of Starhawk's bestselling classic on Wicca, 'The Spiral Dance', from the perspective of twenty-five years of deepened practice of rooted earth-based spirituality. This book will teach the reader to use the tools of observation, awareness, and magic to deepen connections with the natural world and includes the Spiral Dance ritual. Tree-huggers and city dwellers, weekend gardeners and technocrats, will also benefit from practical tools for bringing our daily lives more in harmony with nature, healing the environment around us, and meeting our practical needs in sustainable ways.

Filled with inspiring meditations, chants, and blessings, it offers healing for the spirit in a stressed world and helps readers find their own sources of strength and renewal.
