full of folklore, insights, practical exercises, and meditations Review by Maddy Harland, editor Permaculture magazine

Review

Earth Wisdom is a gathering of Glennie Kindred's work and includes material on Celtic festivals and their significance to us now, how to design your own celebrations and ceremonies, the sacred and healing properties of trees and herbs, the Tree Ogham, wood crafts, sacred landscapes, reconnecting with the spirit of the land, even sacred gardening... It is full of folklore, insights, practical exercises, and meditations.

What I like best is that it is about rooting ourselves in our landscape and culture, using our herbs and the yields of our native trees with wisdom and respect and reconnecting ourselves with the Earth's cycles, not running away with the fairies. It's full of ways of becoming in tune with nature and reversing the trend of disconnection and depoilment. This is spiritual activism - how we can practically translate our awareness of the stillness and beauty of Nature into a sense of Oneness with the planet and its people an act from that place.
