“ Do you sense the sacred on the shores of the ocean or the banks of a river? Do you see the divine in the craggy slopes of a mountain or under the light of the midnight moon? Reverence for and worship of nature is humanity‘s oldest religion, from the time before that word even existed. Humanity saw gods and goddesses and spirits and powers in the trees and the rivers, in the vastness of the sky and the ocean, in the tiniest buds and blooms. We don’t know what the earliest humans called or gods and spirits of the natural world, but we do know the terms and titles used by the ancient Greeks; terms that are still used by their spiritual descendants today. Within the pages of this devotional, you will find poems and prayers, rites and essays, short stories and new myths. All explore and celebrate humanity’s relationship with the powers of nature, from the Earth herself to the wine mad Dionysius to Mountain dwelling Pan to the spirit of individual trees and lakes. It is our hope that you will be inspired by these words to seek out the divine in the world all around you: in storm clouds and lightning, and bumblebees and apple trees, in fields of wildflowers and the foam of the sea.”
