This book is an invitation to modern Pagans to return to a simpler and quieter time, either literally or virtually, through letters from a small forest-farm in the southern highlands of the Appalachian Mountains. It looks at the agricultural year as a starting space for a deepening of Earth-centered spirituality. Borrowing a conceit from English writer Dorothy Hartley, the book begins with a set of back-stories to ease the reader into a place between the toil of the pre-Industrial Era and the uncertainly of the modern one, a place where the fast-moving stress of modern life can be affected by a better connection not only to the natural world but to the elegant expression of the year as communicated through seasonal festivals and celebrations. The essays are set in the beginning, not only to give the reader a map of our journey but to also introduce some ideas that will better inform that journey.
