Overview

Do you follow an Earth-based spiritual path? Do you want to take care of yourself and your family in the most natural way possible, respecting that fact that you are whole people, not just sets of symptoms or numbers on a lab printout? The Wiccan Wellness Book offers you practical, realistic ways to find your best state of health and well-being while respecting the interconnectedness of all life. Discover how to turn your concerns about your health into an active part of your spiritual life. Learn how to keep a Body/Mind/Spirit Journal. Consider ways to improve your surroundings at home and work for better health. Explore the many different natural healthcare methods available today. And enact rituals, alone or with friends, to focus energy on your overall well-being and that of your community and the Earth itself. Though the title includes the word Wiccan, this book is designed for everyone who feels a connection with the Earth and the environment and who wants to bring that connection and its meaning into the way they take care of their body.
