Explore how to protect and live in harmony with the natural world through a fusion of ancient tradition and modern science
Life on earth stems from the green - from the trees, the plants, and their kin - yet the modern world has become progressively more careless about our green allies. The ecological crisis of the twenty-first century is entirely human made, and yet despite the human-inflicted carnage, we have found very few solutions to this destruction. In Black Paths and Green Cathedrals Sian Sibley reminds us of how we can walk symbiotically across the planet, living in reciprocity with our green kin. She lays out practical teachings and magical pathways, outlining ways to reconnect with the Earth, working with the spirits of the land, the plants, the stones, the animals, and with Nature herself. The book draws on the ancient knowledge of pagan traditions, framing it within the context of modern ecological science. Sibley begins Black Paths and Green Cathedrals by exploring 'how we got here', investigating when and how the human relationship with the earth change. She discusses vital topics such as the extinction of sacred plants, teacher plants, plastic pollution, and more. The second section of the book moves on to explore how we can work with our green allies, the land and tree spirits, to create a personalised relationship with nature, that is nourishing and reciprocal. At a time where the fate of the planet hangs by a thread, this book is a refreshing and essential invitation to reconnect with the earth, and with nature. It is essential reading for anyone wishing to tread the green path and live a life in harmony with the traditions of our ancestors, and with the planet.
