The Enchanted Life: Unlocking the Magic of the Everyday

Description

Taking as her starting point the inspiration and wisdom that can be derived
from myth, fairy tales, and folk culture, Dr. Sharon Blackie offers a set of
practical and grounded tools for enchanting our lives and the places we live,
so leading to a greater sense of meaning and of belonging to the world.
Enchantment. By Dr. Blackie’s definition, a vivid sense of belongingness to a
rich and many-layered world, a profound and whole-hearted participation in the
adventure of life. Enchantment is a natural, spontaneous human tendency ― one
we possess as children, but lose, through social and cultural pressures, as we
grow older. It is an attitude of mind which can be cultivated: the enchanted
life is possible for anyone. It is intuitive, embraces wonder, and fully
engages the mythic imagination ― but it is also deeply embodied in ecology,
grounded in place and community.To live this way is to be challenged, to be
awakened, to be gripped and shaken to the core by the extraordinary which lies
at the heart of the ordinary. Read more
