LF457 Todd Elliott - The Cunning Farmer: Agrarian Magical Practices, Mythology and Folklore

GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE Todd Elliott discusses his book The Cunning Farmer: Agrarian Magical Practices, Mythology, and Folklore Magic and farming, in the minds of ancient people, were not separate realms of life, both were woven inextricably into the way people lived. Through prayers, dances, sacrifices, and rituals, ancient farmers connected to sacred forces, the gods, nature spirits, and ancestors to make the crops grow, keep the herds healthy, the weather favourable, and release energies of fertility. These rural farmer priests and priestesses of the ancient past are the spiritual ancestors of today’s cunning farmers. This book explores folk magic traditions of North America and Western Europe, including the grimoire tradition and the practices of witches and cunning folk for increased fertility. Discover how to deepen your connection to elemental and celestial forces and explore the idea of rewilding the imagination to enhance your relationship with nature and the spirits that call it home. The Cunning Farmer is a guide to forging a relationship with the living land. It shows that we are surrounded by spiritual powers and, with their help, we can re-enchant and reconnect with the land that gives us life.
