Reconnecting with Nature through our cultural heritage

In our modern world, alienation from Nature is endemic. People live in cities, spend all day inside buildings and cars, buy processed food from supermarkets, and spend much of their day looking at screens...

This is an unnatural way to live and is a rare blip in human history. For millennia, humans lived in touch with the Earth. Rediscovering our cultural heritage from pre-industrial times, when people revered Nature and lived by the ebb and flow of the seasons, is one powerful way to reconnect to the land.

For us living in Britain, our Celtic ancestors celebrated annual festivals linked to the agricultural calendar as well as the astronomical motion of the Earth around the Sun. These were later adapted and reformed into Christian holidays, many of which are still celebrated today. 


So, this ebook follows the Celtic Wheel of the Year, which is divided into 8 festivals roughly 6 weeks apart. Each section includes several plants that can be found at that time with an overview of their uses. For each of the 8 Celtic festivals, there is a short introduction, and I re-tell the ancient story of the Celtic God and Goddess, as recorded in folklore representing the annual birth, growth, death, and rebirth of the land.
