DOWNLOAD EBOOKAn appreciation of the beautiful, iconic, and endangered Eastern Hemlock and what it means to nature and society The Eastern Hemlock, massive and majestic, has played a unique role in structuring northeastern forest environments, from Nova Scotia to Wisconsin and through the Appalachian Mountains to North Carolina, Tennessee, and Alabama. A “foundation species” influencing all the species in the ecosystem surrounding it, this iconic North American tree has long inspired poets and artists as well as naturalists and scientists. Five thousand years ago, the hemlock collapsed as a result of abrupt global climate change. Now this iconic tree faces extinction once again because of an invasive insect, the hemlock woolly adelgid. Drawing from a century of studies at Harvard University’s Harvard Forest, one of the most well-regarded long-term ecological research programs in North America, the authors explore what hemlock’s modern decline can tell us about the challenges facing nature and society in an era of habitat changes and fragmentation, as well as global change.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAfter the death of her parents two and a half years ago, Olivia Mayor moves to Pinecrossing, Wyoming with her sister, Christine. Idaho has been the only state she knows and she feels like there’s truly nothing left for her anymore after she’s forced to move to Pinecrossing, WY. For two and a half years, Olivia has submerged herself deeply into a numb state. The death of her parents was tragic and she can’t accept the fact that they are gone. Rather than accept reality, she pushes herself as far away from it as possible. In denial, she submerges herself deeper and deeper into this numb world that she’s created for herself. However, after being in Pinecrossing for several weeks, the numb state begins to leave her and she is forced to step back into the world...what awaits her is nothing like she thought. Many ‘myths’ are going around the town about the forest. According to the legends, scary things—monsters—come out on the night of the full moon. Olivia knows for a fact that there is nothing going out in the forest like everyone believes...or is there? Tempting fate, Olivia goes out into the heart of the forest on a night of the full moon. What she discovers while there will change her whole thinking. She’s determined to solve whatever it is that’s going on in the forest. Along the journey to discovering answers, she falls deeply in love with the handsome and very mysterious Mark Walker. It does not take Olivia long to realize that he is a part of this mystery, too. He knows what’s going on in the forest on the nights of the full moon, but like everyone else, he pushes her away. Finding comfort in a strange white wolf who always lingers around her home, Olivia begins to open up to the wolf...giving him her whole heart. She doesn’t understand what is going on, but she promises that she will protect her wolf...no matter what. This wolf seems to be apart of her life...sewed to her, even. Without him she is positive that she won’t be able to breathe. But...after discovering the truth, will she feel the same? After Mark suddenly withdraws from her and her world seems like it’s crashing down, she discovers the truth. She discovers what’s really going on in her forest. She also uncovers the truth of what Mark is... On this long journey, can Olivia accept the truth of her parents ́ death and heal? Can she open up and let someone love her, giving her love in return? Can she, all in all, continue on with life even with all the pain and grieve that is a constant companion in her life?

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAn in-depth course of study in the modern practice of traditional witchcraft. I stand in the meadow, at the forest’s edge. One step forward and I will straddle the boundary between fading light in the swaying grass and rich darkness in the woods. One more step and I will be immersed in the nighttime world of southern, hardwood forest. My home lay behind me, the wild magic ahead. I am the witch at the forest’s edge. This book is an invitation to animists, ancestor worshipers, magic seekers, and the wild at heart. It systematically explores the foundational aspects of modern traditional witchcraft. The book is structured into 13 core chapters or classes that cover all essential skill sets for any modern, traditional witch in a practical, caring way. Each chapter offers suggested activities and/or reflections for journaling and a reading list for further exploration. Advanced skills such a hedge riding and ritual possession are taught in a structured, explicit way that makes them accessible to a wider audience. Written from an animistic perspective and without pushing any specific deities, the book offers a thorough practical and theoretical framework for considering each witch’s personal theology and practice. Without pushing one cultural context, The Witch at the Forest’s Edge offers the means to reflect on the multiple cultures that inform the practices of modern witches, encouraging the reader to think deeply and undergird modern practices with ancestral knowledge.
