Description
The Fifth Sacred Thing by Starhawk In this epic tale, a twenty-first century clan in California finds itself caught between two clashing worlds: one based on tolerance and the other on repression. At its heart is the Declaration of the Four Sacred Things - air, fire, water, and earth - which are recognized as sacred because they have value beyond their usefulness for human ends. To honor the sacred is to create conditions in which nourishment, sustenance, habitat, knowledge, freedom, and beauty can thrive. It's a call to action that requires courage, curiosity, and silence. This powerful novel explores the interconnected systems that sustain life and the importance of ecological balance in sustaining freedom. By dedicating their lives to the sacred, we make love possible and create space for spirit to flourish in its full diversity. A memorable first novel that makes the jump from non-fiction to fiction with ease, The Fifth Sacred Thing is a thought-provoking exploration of our relationship with the world around us.
