Shamanic Fire with Martyn West-Wright
Bush craft is the study of wilderness survival. We have it today largely because of the early Christian Missionaries and their anthropological studies of ancient Pagan tribal peoples from around the world, as they tried to convert them to Christianity.

THE KEYS TO THE TEMPLE – PENNY BILLINGTON
Trees are inextricably twined into Druid natural magic; a primary source of connection to the world of nature.
