Merlin, Gandalf, Voldemort--these well-known sorcerers from
popular culture are famed for their amazing spells and spectacular
magical powers. In ancient times, however, a wizard was actually a
freelance intellectual whose main stock in trade was good advice,
supported by a thorough education in agriculture, navigation,
political and military science, languages, commerce, mathematics,
medicine, and the natural sciences--in essence, the true
Renaissance man.
John Michael Greer proposes a modern mage for uncertain times;
one who possesses a startling array of practical skills gleaned
from the appropriate tech and organic gardening movements forged in
the energy crisis of the 1970s. From the basic concepts of ecology
to a plethora of practical techniques such as composting, green
manure, low-tech food preservation and storage, small-scale chicken
and rabbit raising, solar water heating, alternative energy
sources, and more, "Green Wizardry" is a comprehensive manual for
today's wizard-in-training.
Providing a solid practical introduction to the entire
appropriate tech toolkit, this book is a must-read for anyone
concerned about decreasing our dependence on an overloaded
industrial system and, in a world of serious energy shortages and
economic troubles, making life a great deal less traumatic and more
livable.
John Michael Greer is a scholar of ecological history and an
internationally renowned Peak Oil theorist whose blog "The
Archdruid Report" has become one of the most widely cited online
resources dealing with the future of industrial society. He is the
author of more than thirty books, including "The Wealth of Nature"
and "The Long Descent."
