The author of Food, Festival and Religion shows how spiritual practices drawn from the ancient magical arts can help to heal Mother Earth. A Greenpeace activist, Wiccan High Priestess, and proud Soccer Mom, Francesca Howell has been involved in magical traditions and wildlife preservation since childhood. In this one-of-a-kind book, she shares her everyday suggestions for spiritual renewal through connecting with nature. The meditations, ceremonies, and spellcraft in Making Magic with Gaia spring from an ancient Pagan tradition of Earth stewardship, which blends deep ecology, magic, and activism to bring the reader into a closer communion and harmony with Mother Earth. Packed with practical suggestions (recycling, gardening without pesticides, and conserving water) and mystical rituals (shamanism, crystal magic, and Power Animals) for helping the planet, this book is written for anyone with a spiritual ecological awareness.

Mystical Discourse in Wordsworth and Whitman by D. J. Moores Pdf
In Mystical Discourse D.J. Moores builds on the work of current transatlantic scholarship in a lucid analysis of the connections between William Wordsworth and Walt Whitman. As he demonstrates, the "transatlantic bridge" between both poets lies in their privileging of a type of mystical language he calls "cosmic" rhetoric, which served the function of ideological resistance, as it enabled them to rebel against Enlightenment modes of thinking and being. In a thorough engagement with the work of Wordsworth and Whitman, Moores shows that the cosmic rhetoric of both writers involves a subversive reorientation towards self and society, nature and God, and knowledge and religion, as well as a radical revisioning of language and poetics.
The High Priestess and author of Wicca presents an accessible introduction to magic in the modern world. Exploring how you can integrate magic into your daily life, Vivianne Crowley shows that contemporary self-help methods are rooted in magical practices. She explains how magic can help us discover and unfold our potential selves, and how we can use magic as a force for good to heal and remove fears. Vivianne dispels modern myths of magic as wizards, dragons, or evil sorcerers and explores ways that magic can be applied in the twenty-first century to help us become more self-aware and empowered in our everyday lives. Everyday Magic is part of The Paranormal, a series that resurrects rare titles, classic publications, and out-of-print texts, as well as publishes new supernatural and otherworldly ebooks for the digital age. The series includes a range of paranormal subjects from angels, fairies, and UFOs to near-death experiences, vampires, ghosts, and witchcraft. Praise for Vivianne Crowley’s Wicca: A Comprehensive Guide to the Old Religion in the Modern World “This book is an excellent introduction to the modern practices and beliefs of the revived Craft and can be thoroughly recommended.” —Prediction “At last, a really thorough and authoritative exposition of present day coven witchcraft.” —Quest
The Meaning of Witchcraft by Gerald B. Gardner Pdf

Chapters include: Witch's Memories and Beliefs, The Stone Age Origins of Witchcraft, Druidism and the Aryan Celts, Magic Thinking, Curious Beliefs about Witches, Signs and Symbols, The Black Mass, Some Allegations Examined. The Meaning of Witchcraft is a record of witches' roots-and a tribute to a founding pioneer with the courage to set that record straight.

Explores whether consciousness-based practices like meditation and prayer can contribute to social change. Can awakened consciousness contribute to social change and, if so, how? David Nicol introduces the concept of “subtle activism” to describe the use of consciousness-based practices like meditation and prayer to support collective transformation, such as global meditation directed toward peaceful resolution of a conflict. Subtle activism represents a bridge between the consciousness movement and the movements for peace, environmental sustainability, and social justice. It is not a substitute for physical action but rather a potentially crucial component of a more integrated approach to social change. Although ancient lore is rife with tales of shamans and adepts intervening on spiritual levels for the benefit of humanity, this book is the first comprehensive treatment of this topic. Nicol grounds his consideration in the available scientific research and in dialogue with a broad range of thinkers in the fields of consciousness studies, transpersonal theory, and New Paradigm thought. David Nicol teaches in the Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness Program at the California Institute of Integral Studies. He is also executive director and cofounder of the Gaiafield Project and cofounder of BeThePeace.
Contemporary Pagan and Native Faith Movements in Europe by Kathryn Rountree Pdf
Pagan and Native Faith movements have sprung up across Europe in recent decades, yet little has been published about them compared with their British and American counterparts. Though all such movements valorize human relationships with nature and embrace polytheistic cosmologies, practitioners’ beliefs, practices, goals, and agendas are diverse. Often side by side are groups trying to reconstruct ancient religions motivated by ethnonationalism—especially in post-Soviet societies—and others attracted by imported traditions, such as Wicca, Druidry, Goddess Spirituality, and Core Shamanism. Drawing on ethnographic cases, contributors explore the interplay of neo-nationalistic and neo-colonialist impulses in contemporary Paganism, showing how these impulses play out, intersect, collide, and transform.
Integral Ecology by Sean Esbjorn-Hargens, Ph.D.,Michael E. Zimmerman, Ph.D. Pdf
Today there is a bewildering diversity of views on ecology and the natural environment. With more than two hundred distinct and valuable perspectives on the natural world—and with scientists, economists, ethicists, activists, philosophers, and others often taking completely different stances on the issues—how can we come to agreement to solve our toughest environmental problems? In response to this pressing need, Integral Ecology unites valuable insights from multiple perspectives into a comprehensive theoretical framework—one that can be put to use right now. The framework is based on Integral Theory, as well as Ken Wilber’s AQAL model, and is the result of over a decade of research exploring the myriad perspectives on ecology available to us today and their respective methodologies. Dozens of real-life applications and examples of this framework currently in use are examined, including three in-depth case studies: work with marine fisheries in Hawai’i, strategies of eco-activists to protect Canada’s Great Bear Rainforest, and a study of community development in El Salvador. In addition, eighteen personal practices of transformation are provided for you to increase your own integral ecological awareness. Integral Ecology provides the most sophisticated application and extension of Integral Theory available today, and as such it serves as a template for any truly integral effort.
Each of us has felt the energy shift as the planet transitions into the fifth dimension. We have felt time speed up and felt energies that are at times so chaotic and unpredictable that we have been thrown off our usual course. Some of us have been rocked to our very core. We are asking ourselves “what is this and why is this happening?” We each have chosen to come to earth during this time of great transition. We are all here sharing our lives with each other, helping Mother Earth move into the Golden Age, the spiritual Age of Aquarius. This transition will complete on the date that the Mayan civilization predicted some 26,000 years ago, December 21st, 2012. There is much work to be done as we realize the need for the shift that must occur in our personal lives so that we can be in sync with the new fifth dimensional energy on this planet. As our world resets itself, so too must we reset ourselves. What this means to each of us is that it is time to understand the meaning of how to live more fully in the fifth dimension. Each of us must identify where we currently stand and where we need to go in order to experience the wonderment of fifth dimensional living. Why? Many of us may be existing as a two or a three dimensional person. The energies that sustain those dimensions no longer exist on this planet. So, the old ways of thinking or operating that produced success at one time no longer exist. It is now necessary for us, if we are to exist in harmony with our planet, to transition as well. If we choose not to transition, then frustration and anger will become paramount in our lives. The choice is up to us. To live in the fifth dimension is not only to experience the energy of magic and miracles but to learn that we can create all the perfection we desire in our lives by simply shifting our thinking into fifth dimensional thinking. We are able to see the perfection where formerly we saw the illusion of imperfection. This new vantage point allows us to become the center of our own reality and easily navigate through difficult individuals and challenging events while maintaining a state of balance and harmony. We are then able to turn possibilities into probabilities and probabilities into actualities! This journey begins with describing and identifying all of the unseen, but certainly not unfelt, influences in our lives that have been given to each of us to help us live our life on earth in the best and easiest manner possible. Each reader will be able to identify their birthright gift as well as the other gifts available to tap into and expand one’s energy thereby allowing this innate knowledge to grow and develop. All of the necessary techniques and tools are explained in detail in this book so that you can easily make the transition from your current dimension into the fifth dimension, allowing you to create a new future. You are able to learn and make friends with each of your bodies of consciousness and their respective inner child and together you begin a journey of healing. You, as parent of these inner children, learn how to set the stage and the rules so that everyone is playing by the same playbook. You learn that you may win as a team or you may lose as a team, but you are all on the same team working together to achieve that balance that allows you to maintain your newly found center. By removing fears one by one, each of us can transition from a place of fear into a place of love, learning to live from the heart. As we work towards this goal, we isolate and identify the negative emotions that have been growing and harvesting within. These negative emotions equate disease. This book is your guide to help acknowledge these fears, recognize and release them one by one creating a new you, a lighter you. We then experience a new energy, a more evolved energy, a higher vibrating energy, as we invite the energy of excellent health and balance into our bodies. It is here that
Gaia Eros is a collection of essays and instructions for anyone interested in finding a way to reconnect to Gaia, the living Earth. Somewhere as you read this, a Pagan-affinity group is hard at work preparing the next Beltane ritual in their area. A circle of bearded priests is gathered to revitalize the nearly lost sensibilities of ancient Druidry. And a man contacts his soul and planet more deeply through his artful preparation of wild foods and a woodstove-baked pie. In an age of accelerating distraction and destruction, each of these individuals is a hero. They are among the growing number of people who feel both the suffering and joy of the world in every cell of their being. They are the seekers experiencing the world through their reawakened primal instincts, through their caring hearts, through every inch of skin. And each draws insight and instruction from their relationship with the living, inspirited Earth.

BONUS: This edition contains an Arcadia Falls discussion guide. Financial straits and a desire for a fresh start take recently widowed Meg Rosenthal and her aloof teenage daughter, Sally, to Arcadia Falls, a tucked-away hamlet in upstate New York where Meg has accepted a teaching position at a boarding school. The creaky, neglected cottage they’ll be calling home feels like an ill omen, but Meg is determined to make the best of it. Then a shocking crisis strikes: During Arcadia’s First Night bonfire, one of Meg’s folklore students plunges to her death in a campus gorge. Sheriff Callum Reade finds the presumed accident suspicious, but then, he is a man with a dark past himself. Meg is unnerved by Reade’s interest in the girl’s death, and as long-buried secrets emerge, she must face down her own demons and the danger threatening to envelop Sally. As the past clings tight to the present, the shadows, as if in a terrifying fairy tale, grow longer and deadlier.
