Root and Ritual

“Root and Ritual is a brilliantly written book exploring the ancestral traditions that help women reconnect to their power, the land, and the important role they have held in cultures as spiritual leaders and healers. Becca Piastrelli helps women to reconnect to their birthright of rituals, healing knowledge, and instructions on how to survive challenging times. This is an important book for the times we live in.” ―Sandra Ingerman, MA, author of Walking in Light and The Book of Ceremony

“This book will find you grabbing a soft blanket and warm cup of tea and curling up on the couch as you follow Becca’s wise, loving voice into the deepest parts of yourself. Through land, lineage, community, and self, you might suddenly find yourself in an enchanted, lush land, the rhythmic call of her words unavoidably breathing life into the dreams of your heart. Beware! Only read this book if you are ready for your longing to take deeper root in your life. You just might find dirt under your fingernails; sticky concoctions brewing in Mason jars; smoke thickly matted into your hair; and eyes, ears, and whole body opening to something that you can feel but perhaps not see. In short, this book could make you deeply joyful to be alive.” ―Elle Luna, artist, designer, and author of The Crossroads of Should and Must

“It’s so easy nowadays to feel disconnected from ourselves and each other. In Root and Ritual, Becca Piastrelli offers us a way to find connection in every area of our lives, from our natural environment to our relationships. The delightful illustrations and detailed instruction for every ritual and recipe make this treasure of a text accessible to all. And I am particularly moved by Ms. Piastrelli’s guidance in honoring different cultures while celebrating their traditions.” ―Rebekah Borucki, mother, author, and publisher

“This book is my bible for earth-based rituals and cultivating true belongingness in myself and the world. I will be holding this one close and coming back to it again and again.” ―Majo Molfino, author of Break the Good Girl Myth

“Root and Ritual is the book our disconnected and lonely culture needs. It is magical and practical, otherworldly and grounded, nurturing and nourishing. Becca’s words, rituals, and guidance in this book feel like being held in a warm embrace by an old friend. Her sage wisdom provides us a way to intentionally return to the land we live on, the people we’re connected with, the lineage we’ve come from, and the true self many of us have lost sight of.” ―Lisa Olivera, author of forthcoming book Already Enough

“Belonging is a healing balm for the loneliest parts of our beings and a beacon, compassionately guiding us toward the rich lives we long for. In illuminating the difference between ownership and stewardship, Becca Piastrelli gently provides a powerful reframe for our relationship with the land beneath our feet, our homes, the communities we belong to, and our bodies. Deeply resonant and powerfully nostalgic.” ―Mara Glatzel, author of forthcoming book Needy

“A beautiful and important reminder of the healing that tradition, ritual, and community can bring to our lives, despite their erasure in our current cultural context. An invitation to welcome back our innate wildness and embrace what our souls are truly longing for, this book will touch many souls.” ―Erica Feldmann, author of HausMagick
