Land Healing - Physical, Metaphysical, and Ritual Practices for Healing the Earth by Dana O’Driscoll. Published by REDFeather Publishing. RRP US $19.99
This is a workbook for all lovers of the land. It is transformative - and when healing the land, we heal ourselves. For healers, who want to increase their healing activity and extend it to nature, this is ideal. Whether you live in the countryside, town or city, this is an excellent book to increase awareness with deep listening and careful observing.
For many years, spirituality has mean many things to many people; but spirituality is now being defined by working with nature, our enjoyment of it, and the ways in which we care for it. In this book, there is excellent food for thought, meditations, blessings, rituals, sigils, visualisations, knowledge of sacred timing, herbcraft, guardianship of holy space, creating sacred items, such as a fire ceremony, a Crane Bag, smoke and prayer bundles, seed balls, and a sacred grove.
In addition, there is a useful section on a spiritual self care plan, with pain management, palliative care, the process of dying and transition, retreats and other advice. There is lots here to nourish one’s spiritual path, the self and nature. Dana O’Driscoll is a Grand Arch Druid with the Ancient Order of Druids in the US and she writes the ‘Druid Garden’ blog. I learn a lot by reading this book. It is well written for easy reading and performing actions to heal the land and ourselves.
