Earth
based spirituality is the
bedrock of human interaction with Nature, the Cosmos and our fellow human
beings. In times of great change, while the impetus is for reassessment and
renewal, the field has become confused with different schools and methodologies.
There are arguably now as many schools as there are practitioners.
Zen Druid - A Paganism for the 21st Century,
is a radical re-imagining of the core values of this spirituality, a return to
first principles.
Zen Druid - A Paganism for the 21st Centurystrips
away all that is superfluous to reconnection with the Earth. By using the
principles of Zen and taking a Celtic approach to Earth-centred spirituality,
the book moves the reader from wherever they are on their personal journey, to
somewhere that allows them to know themselves; the workings of this universe and
their place within it.
A Return
to First Principles
Zen Druid - A Paganism for the 21st
Centurygoes back to first principles. Dividing the universe into the five
aspects of the Goddess - Creator, Lover, Nurturer, Protector and Crone - the
work is divided into five sections. The reader is taken on a journey from the
inner to the outer and back again.
When life throws its challenges and wonders our way, Zen
Druid - A Paganism for the 21st Century provides the tools for
understanding and enlightenment. It develops a framework for identifying our
place in the world, the wider cycles acting upon us and tools for finding our
way forward.
Everyone is at their own level
of spiritual development. While the beginner will find the information in Zen
Druid - A Paganism for the 21st Century to understand themselves,
their purpose and their place within the wheel of life, the more advanced
student of life will find themselves challenged to re-imagine themselves and
their practices.
Release date is 30th of August 2010. A list of book
