"""Wendy Van Allen captures the beauty and benefits of returning to our indigenous roots through nature-based practices and spirituality. Her astute mapping of how systems of oppression have contributed to causing harm to ourselves and the planet makes this a relevant book for our times. Relighting the Cauldron is an ancestral call that provides pathways of reconnection to ourselves, each other and Mother Earth before it is too late.""--Iya Rev. DeShannon Barnes-Bowens, M.S., founder of ILERA Counseling & Education Services, Ifa priestess, and interfaith minister ""Rev. Wendy Rose Van Allen explores multicultural approaches to Nature spirituality, drawing on Wiccan, Lukumi, Indigenous, and myriad Pagan beliefs and practices. Along the journey, she dips into common tensions between our perceived dualities...to reveal that living as Earthlings is much more complex than we might realize. Through witnessing her unique perspective, we might each find inspiration to uncover the nourishing and limiting aspects of our own chosen spiritual paths.""--Sarah Bowen, author of Spiritual Rebel ""Relighting the Cauldron provides research tracing the evolutionary and revolutionary practices of Nature-based religion and spirituality.""--Eric V. Eldritch, Third Degree priestx of the Tradition of Stone Circle Wicca (USA) ""Van Allen's meticulously researched work is an interspiritual explosion and crosscultural fusion of Earth-wisdom and nature-based spirituality from many geographies around the globe. But what makes Relighting the Cauldron uniquely special is Van Allen's use of spiritual practices (meditations, journeys, and spells) that ignite the reader's psyche, heart, and spirit in experiential processes that lift the material out of the theoretical and into the visceral. Relighting the Cauldron is a clarion call to the scared purpose within each of us to walk in gratitude and reverence upon this Earth.""--Jonathan Hammond, author of The Shaman's Mind ""Relighting the Cauldron is an essential work at a pivotal point for humanity that encourages the reader to dig deeply and re-center nature in our practice. Van Allen draws upon her intimate knowledge and decades of experience as a practicing Wiccan, Lukumi priestess and minister, as well as her deep connections with people from other Earth-centered traditions, to show that another world is possible and the time to take action is now.""--Nathan Hall, author of Path of the Moonlit Hedge ""Rev. Wendy Van Allen shares her years of wisdom on the spiritual path. Wendy makes a solid case for the importance of ancestor veneration in modern times and walks seekers through proven steps to better commune with Mother Earth. I recommend Relighting the Cauldron to all who long for deeper connection to our planet and each other.""--Shelley A. Kaehr, PhD, author of Heal Your Ancestors to Heal Your Life ""Relighting the Cauldron gives us hope. It speaks to the possibility of revisiting that time when the world was exciting, when the fire burned brightly. While the book identifies ways in which modern humanity is endangering all life on Earth, it also assures us that it's possible to recapture magick (as Rev. Van Allen writes it) and move toward a new level of human evolution and a deeper relationship with the rest of the natural world.""--Spirituality + Health magazine ""A terrific overview of Pagan, Wiccan, indigenous, and nature-based traditions...Rev. Wendy, a gifted spiritual counselor, brings a wide range of voices into this work and lets them have their own say, unfiltered. She brings care, reverence, respect, caution, and a lively curiosity into this inquiry.""--David Johnston, internationally recognized playwright"
