Overview

The West, perhaps even the world, is being haunted by the invisible menace of an ethics crisis, writes Ivan Richmond. In his book on the spirituality of ethics, Richmond discusses how he sees religious dogma, reason, and even intuition as failing to give us true ethical insight in this day and age. He charts a path forward to attain a clearer moral compass through a spiritual engagement with the oneness of all of us together. Drawing on both the wisdom of ancient philosophy and a rich spiritual repertoire, Richmond, a Wiccan priest of 20 years, teaches you to design your own rituals, ecstatic experiences, and even your myths in order to create spiritual practices that bring you together with the oneness of all sentient beings. It is from this vantage point that our moral intuitions come and through these practices that our moral compasses are refined. Whatever your religion, beliefs or creeds, The Religion of Good will help you on your quest for goodness.

""Ivan marries a deep sense of logic and analysis to the wonder and worship of the Earth. There are practices and rituals plenty, and enough intellectual meat to satisfy anyone who is willing to chew it thoroughly for its savor and nourishment."" -Peter Coyote, author, Zen Teacher, actor ""The Religion of Good introduces the reader to informative ideas drawn from Greco-Roman philosophy and uses them to guide the modern reader - whatever their religion, if any - through the development of a personal contemplative and ritual practice."" -Rev. Donald H. Frew, Wiccan High Priest and President of the Adocentyn Research Library At this cultural moment of quicksilver selfhood in search of true fulfillment the practical wisdom of Ivan Richmond's epiphanic guide to ethical insight rooted in ritual is right on time and right on target. Let's join in and try it out. -Steven Tipton, PhD, Professor Emeritus of the Sociology of Religion, Emory University, and author of In and Out of Church and Public Pulpits
