Gaia Eros: Reconnecting to the Magic and Spirit of Nature
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.

Deep, heartfelt wisdom that comes from an embodied connection with the Earth. Jesse Wolf Hardin reminds us how to sink into our sensing selves, our sensual animal beings, to BE fully present in the ever unfolding new now. That is the place where we connect to source, that is the place where we feel most alive, that is the place where the magic which will nourish and empower us is. And then we can bring that aliveness forward to heal not only ourselves, but our families, community, fellow creatures and the planet itself.
Beautifully written and meant to be savored.

Didn't finish. Material is good, but for some reason it didn't hold my attention.

Sometimes tries too hard to cram poetic value into every paragraph, but overall a life-enhancing read, with many courageous and worthy ideas.
