"In all cultures and traditions there is a need for ceremonies that bind people together, creating common experiences and the means for expressing them. Much of our modern ritual finds its origin in the ancient pagan, or Mother Earth, practices." "In Deepening the Power, Celu Amberston clearly re-establishes the meaning and power of the old rituals and explains their very real relevance for today's spiritual seeker. In a practical manner, Amberston lays out the philosophy that is fundamental to the practice of ritual and explores the evolution of ritual within spiritual and cultural contexts." "A detailed plan for conducting ritual celebrations and sacred theatre is presented, taking the practitioner, whether experienced or novice, through the necessary steps that make for a successful and spiritually powerful experience."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
