Book Description
At the core of most indigenous religions is a deep respect for the earth expressed in rituals and practices that foster sustainability. Nature is often regarded as a sacred entity that comprises all the people of the earth. The endeavor of maintaining and transmitting these rituals and practices is commonly entrusted to female spiritual and intellectual leaders.
