The big news is that I have a book out today. This is part of the Earth Spirit series Moon Books are doing - these are books about our relationship with the planet. I consider that an essential part of Paganism. Come to that, it’s an increasingly vital human consideration. This is a book that I intended to be hopeful and encouraging. Climate crisis can inspire a lot of fear and leave people unable to see what to do. I’m offering something action oriented, and a push-back against the idea that we can only save the planet by living joyless lives and not having nice things.
Also, I tried to comment over on WP, but I was having issues on your post about dandelions and joy. Basically, I see you and other bloggers lately mentioning finding or making time for joy. What I personally really need is to find a way to accept the joy I have. These last few years have been immensely difficult in many ways and I feel like I’ve become like hardened soil. I plant seeds for joy and they strangle out or fail to thrive. I wonder if there’s something about difficult times that changes your brain chemistry? Either way, that’s my challenge for joy atm but not an angle I see talked about much.
Got your book ordered!
