Description
Focusing
on the origins of Western culture and belief systems, from ancient agriculture
to modern industry, from primitive religion to monotheism, Primal Awareness
explains how we became separated from nature and how, throughout history, these
belief systems and social models have imposed a life of servitude and hardship
upon millions of people. It also illustrates how modern technology and the
modern scientific world view are currently causing the destruction of our
natural environment. How can we overcome this separation, and reconnect with
nature and spirit once again?

Wildwood's fascinating spiritual odyssey around the world has finally
manifested for us all to read. His special gift in communicating with the
'spirit of place' has given us a vital message in how we can re-connect with
the ancient wisdom and more importantly, integrate this knowledge, so that we
can create a new paradigm for the future. Gary Bitcliffe, author and Dowser

A very interesting book on the spirits of Nature, Genius Loci and archetypes. A travel that gives food for thought about reconnecting to the world around us and ancestral root of where we are living.
Many thanks to Netgalley and John Hunt Publishing

This is not a superficial book - at least for me. I found that I had to stop frequently and give myself time to think about and absorb the ideas presented. It is however beautifully and thoughtfully written. It deals with humankind's separation from the essential energies and truths of the natural world around us and how we need to reconnect with those in order to bring full meaning and balance into our lives. It discusses strategies and approaches for making these essential reconnections. You will especially gain value and enjoyment from this book if you are interested in metaphysical or "new age" philosophies.
Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for providing an ARC for my honest review.
