Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Prayers, songs, myths, and meditations for achieving harmony and balance. In ancient times, people could speak with animals and hear the whispers of plants, understanding the original stories written in the stars. They knew that human survival depended on a living connection with family, tribe, animals, and plants, as well as with the Sun, Moon, and fire. The Cherokee, known as the Central or First People, preserve a complex tapestry of myths about the relationship between humans and nature. Tales passed down through generations hold special significance today, as Mother Earth suffers under the weight of unchecked "progress." The knowledge that we are all interconnected in the universal cycle of life opens the possibility for communication with all beings and restores our natural sense of belonging and responsibility. By attentively listening to stories of ancient Cherokee customs, we can understand the lost social and spiritual traditions that can ensure a flourishing future.
