The Little Book of Nature Blessings
How to Find Inner Calm in the Natural World
This charming book gives a series of myths, rituals and practices 'for finding calm in the natural world' - which is after all accessible to all of us. The author is a councillor, healer, Wiccan High Priestess and a member of a Druid Grove, hence she is steeped in connections with the natural world. The book considers possible connections with the luminaries of the sun and moon, then the elements, followed by trees, flowers, animals, rivers and ponds, and the sea. The second part introduces the festivals around the year, with Imbolc just coming up as I write - there are intermediary festivals between the equinoxes and solstices. The author proposes many practices and meditations, so it is a handbook to work with in developing a conscious relationship with nature.
