Overview

Rites of Nature is a devotional collection of poetry, prayer, and prose following the sacred spiral. Spanning across the four seasons-Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter-this book is an expression of the living world. Written in reverence for the Great Mother in all her forms, each piece moves through the green world and the wild darkness below, tracing the ancient paths our ancestors once walked through roots and canopies, thaw and frost, the abundance of harvest and the loss to rot. The path winds inward and outward at once. Rites of Nature wants the reader to enter the natural world, to remember it, to be claimed by it. We spend most of our time observing the natural world at a distance-this book asks you to embrace it up close. The Great Mother appears here not in abstraction but as a presence in the iris pushing through cold soil, in the salmon spawning in the river, and in the crone watching from the mountain's peak as snow blankets the world below. This is a book for those who find something sacred in the seasons, who are drawn to nature, and who are drawn to the crossroads of the Modern World and the Old World. It belongs equally on an altar and a bookshelf.
