Synopsis

"Forest Guardians" explores the profound, enduring relationship between humanity and forests, revealing how trees and their guardian spirits are deeply embedded in mythology, religion, and literature across cultures. The book examines the veneration of sacred trees and the prevalence of mystical forests, highlighting how these elements reflect our innate connection to the natural world. Consider, for example, how certain tree species like the oak, yew, and banyan, recur as symbols of power, life, and death in diverse mythologies, or how forests often serve as liminal spaces in folklore, where characters undergo transformative experiences. The book progresses from the origins of sacred groves and forest spirits in ancient religions to focused explorations of specific tree symbolism, recurring forest motifs, and the diverse forms of forest guardians. "Forest Guardians" uniquely weaves together mythological, religious, historical, and ecological perspectives, supported by primary sources like ancient texts and folklore, alongside modern scholarship. This approach illuminates the urgent need to re-evaluate our relationship with these essential ecosystems, connecting ancient beliefs with contemporary environmental ethics and conservation, especially in light of ongoing deforestation and climate change.

    The Book of Mysteries - Wild...

    At festive gatherings celebrating summer's peak, in reflective moments as winter gave way, Rebecca Tamás began to hear another rhythm. A faint hint that, underneath the rush of clocks and calendars, another, richer kind of time might exist.
    As she suffered from grief and burnout, Tamás sought a deeper connection to the movement of the seasons through an immersion in old folkways. She set out on a journey across the UK guided by the Pagan wheel of the year, marking each solstice, equinox and the midpoints between them with a ritual drawn from ancient traditions. From a confrontation with the sharp pains of winter at Samhain in Edinburgh to a giddy experience of collective joy at Padstow's May Day, she found in these traditional practices electric potential for transforming our relationship to the natural world.
    Intellectually penetrating and richly lyrical, The Book of Mysteries follows the drumbeat of seasonal ritual towards an immersion in the wild time of the earth. Ecstatic, radical and irreverent, this book is a rallying cry to wrest time away from the structures of work and capital, so as to encounter the life-giving mystery of the natural world.
