Sommario/riassunto

Paganism has often looked to forest groves or mountain tops for

Amongst others, the book will be of interest to nature religion academics, environmental researchers and activists, as well as practitioners and students of paganism and religion, faith and spirituality studies and those involved in the intersection between religion and ecology.From anthropologic and mythological understandings of archetypal mind structure
