This book examines how and why practitioners of nature religion -
Western witches, druids, shamans - seek to relate spiritually with
nature through 'magical consciousness'. 'Magic' and 'consciousness'
are concepts that are often fraught with prejudice and ambiguity
respectively. Greenwood develops a new theory of magical
consciousness by arguing that magic ultimately has more to do with
the workings of the human mind in terms of an expanded awareness
than with socio-cultural explanations. She combines her own
subjective insights gained from magical practice with
practitioners' in-depth accounts and sustained academic theory on
the process of magic. She also tracks magical consciousness in
philosophy, myth, folklore and story-telling, and the hi-tech
discourse of postmodernity and asks important questions concerning
nature religion's environmental credentials, such as whether it as
inherently ecological as many of its practitioners claim.
