Contents:
Why enchantment, and why now? Enchantment matters -- The unendurable everyday -- What is enchantment? To inhabit the living world -- At home in our skin -- The mythic imagination -- The magic of the everyday. Coming home to ourselves -- An ear to the ground -- Kinship and otherness -- Hands on the clay of life -- Life as it mattered -- The enchanted life. A manifesto for an enchanted life.
Summary:
"The enchanted life has nothing to do with fantasy or escapism or magical thinking: it is founded on a vivid sense of belongingness to a rich and many-layered world. It is creative, intuitive, imaginative. It thrives on work that has heart and meaning. It loves wild things, but returns to an enchanted home and garden. It respects the instinctive knowledge and playfulness of children, and relishes story, poetry and art. Taking the inspiration and wisdom that can be derived from myth, fairy tales and folk culture, this book offers a set of practical and grounded tools for enchanting our lives and the places we live in, giving us a greater sense of meaning and of belonging to the world."--Publisher's description.
