For many centuries, our ancestors celebrated the seasons of the year with festivals and rituals. These festivals the most important and universally observed were the two Solstices (winter and summer) had multiple functions: creating greater cohesion within the community, were a collective outburst, but mostly added a sense of communion with nature. Today there is no trace of these rites, if not unrecognizable in their commercial version represented by Christmas and new year, and has lost the sense of cyclic interaction between Earth and heaven. A healthy relationship with these larger powers of us is undoubtedly the way to go to restore the original balance of the Earth and the Sun that man has increasingly compromised and to restore the balance in the human community. Richard Heinberg’s book tells how traditionally the diverse cultures of the world from the Middle East to the Americas, from India to Europe celebrated these rites, and as of today you can restore the feasts of the cyclical renewal of the Earth, welcoming the new with songs, dances and games. No need to undertake expensive journeys to ancient sacred sites such as Stonehenge, Uluru or Avenbury, but will suffice, with spirit of observation and open heart, discovering geocosmicamente special sites in our area, in the countryside as in the city; We can be alone or involve a large number of people in collective activities of every kind, the joy, the pleasure of being together and of respect for nature. 184 pagg. – 40 ill.ni
