How often do you encounter a tale told by a tree? A tree that had seen a thousand winters before the Vikings came to America. She is a female tree, she explains with botanical exactitude, with access to the consciousness and memories of all other trees, and even to her own race memory, which is that of the first tree that grew on Earth. This is the Story of Yew, oldest of the old. And because her story becomes intimately entwined with humankind, it is also the Story of You.

Ah, humankind! At first, because she is vain and inexperienced, Yew despises these strange two-legged creatures who crash into her ken, invading her placid grove to make it a temple for bloody sacrifice. She comes to tolerate the succeeding races who reverence her stately, massive form, seeing in her longevity and powers of renewal an expression of Nature Herself. Gradually, she comes to understand her power. She communicates with birds and insects. She gathers information through the fungal network which links her to every other plant in her land. She discovers the yew's terrifying ability to kill all other species in her forest. After 2000 years she also experiences her own death. But her roots remain and sprout new shoots...

Earth Spirit Warrior

by John R Stowe

What makes a person become a planetary citizen? In the face of serious social and environmental challenges, the Earth desperately needs people who live with the health of the planet as their highest goal. But how? Clearly, most people lack neither information nor motivation. They already understand the severity of the crises and sincerely want to help solve them. The key is to find a way past the feelings of guilt, fear, and overwhelm that have kept us paralyzed. Earth Spirit Warrior provides such a path, offering a personalized journey of self-discovery and empowerment for people who love the Earth and want to make a difference.

Elderwoman
Elderwoman

by Marian Van Eyk McCain

These days, most women can expect to live several decades beyond menopause. Until now, there have been virtually no guidebooks for this later life journey, for it is one that our ancestors, with their much lower life expectancy, were rarely privileged to take.

Elderwoman is just such a guidebook.

Life and Teachings of a Reluctant Psychic

A psychic's true job is to bring people into the present where the soul resides, not to catapult them into the future with promises. It is the psychic's role to help people get in touch with divine wisdom -- to be the channel for this wisdom and not claim to be its source.
