Alive with Spirits: The Path and Practice of Animistic Witchcraft

At the root of most spiritual traditions is the aspiration to realize one's birthright: the intimate connection with the land and the spiritual energies that inhabit it. This connection with the land and its spirits is perhaps nowhere more powerfully felt than in the various traditions of paganism and witchcraft. But the conditions of modern society strain that relationship, leaving us feeling disconnected to our craft and unable to feel that deep and vital connection.

In Alive with Spirits, which is based on Althaea Sebastiani's popular online course, you'll discover a path to fully embrace a world filled with spirits, communion with the land, and a greater sense of belonging in the world--a worldview known as animism. You'll explore animism in a hands-on way that teaches through firsthand direct experiences. Through embodied exercises based in wholeness, you'll learn to see the world more fully for what it is and to better understand your place in it. You'll be invited to:

• ​Learn the three general types of local spirits and the breadth of variety that exists among them
• Explore the importance of relationships and what it means to be in community
• Uncover the way that the wholeness of the world is reflected in the wholeness of the self
• How to nurture right relationships with your local spirits
