Most Read This Week In Animals

[close] Welcome to Book Spirits! We are one of the oldest spiritual reading groups...both online and off since 2013. :) Travel with us on the winding road that weaves in and out of the mundane and magickal. Cleanse your heart and mind of all cares and observe Water; it can teach you to yield as well as flow. Walk upon the soft Earth with others who share a deep love of the natural and "super" natural world. Lift your arms into an amber Sky. Turn your ambitions and passions into fuel for Fire and explore the vast realm of the Spirit and all that is possible through it. Our members honor life uplifting and nature-based paths with roots that stretch deep across ancient times as well as into modern times. We primarily read nature, pagan, magickal, and spiritual books. We first vote from our Book Cove's collection of titles we have gathered. Then, we begin each book on the New Moon (or thereabouts) and host a group chat once per month in addition to other ongoing discussions here. For more details (such as when a book begins, chat times, etc.) please look under our Book Discussions thread. Who reads with us? We consider seekers 18+ (and their family members or partners) who are genuinely interested in spiritual growth and the honoring of their spiritual gifts in order to create a better Earth and multi-dimensional universe for all of us! Please be sure to add an email address to your Goodreads profile or let us know where you wish to receive group messages and updates. :) Blessings, Rev. Ravyn Onca Creator

[close] This is just a little group I've put together out of boredom! If you're like me and have lots of good/stupid ideas that need to be spread to the world, this is the place for you! But first, just a bit of info on what this group is intended to be like. I'll try to consolidate it. - You will probably be better off if you know a lot of things and have a desire to discuss big ideas, like religion (non-controversial) and philosophy! Of course, you can join anyway. Big ideas won't be the only thing discussed here. I have a feeling that there will be lots of talks about anime. If that's what people actually care about that is. - Expect stupidity. Topics normally reserved for dignified nerdy people will be discussed here, and while a vast majority of people here will probably be nerds - like me - there will be pure stupid things said. And that's okay, stupid things are sometimes the most entertaining. - You probably saw this coming, but more than just books will be discussed here. However, feel free to discuss books if you'd like!

[close] How do we save and rewild our natural spaces? How can we restore wildlife populations? How do we overcome adversity to rally communities? What are the most responsible ways to experience nature? These are questions answered through the Rewildology Podcast hosted by Brooke Mitchell, conservation biologist and adventure traveler. Join us as we deep dive into the books shared in the podcast with the authors in Q&A's (when possible)! We're thrilled to have you here.

[close] "Sentientism is an ethical philosophy that grants degrees of moral consideration to all sentient beings. Sentientism extends humanism by showing compassion for non-human animals as well as potential artificial and alien intelligences. In common with humanism, sentientism rejects supernatural beliefs in favour of critical, evidence-based thinking." - Wikipedia
