Invoke the power of the Wildwood, of the Green Man and Green Woman, and of the living archetypes of the forest such as Robin-in-the-Hood, with this new companion to the bestselling Wildwood Tarot.

Authors Mark Ryan and John Matthews take us across time, to the pre-Celtic world of the forest that once cloaked much of the world, where primal forces roamed free and opened doorways into the otherworld of the Ancestors. With chapters on the Lore of the Wild, ways to work around the archetypal Wheel of the Year, shamanic methods of exploring the inner reaches, and meditations designed to enable powerful, personal encounters with Wildwood archetypes, as well as newly crafted rituals enabling the reader to celebrate festivals such as the Midsummer and Midwinter Solstices, the book takes a new and informed look at a set of ancient traditions and applies them to our lives today.
