 Spiritualities of Life: New Age Romanticism and Consumptive Capitalism
This insightful and provocative journey through spiritual landscapes explores the ways in which spiritualities of life have been experienced and understood in Western society, and argues that today’s myriad forms of holistic spirituality are helping us to find balance in face of the stifling demands of twenty-first century living. |

 The Nature of Magic An Anthropology of Consciousness
This work is an anthropological study of magic and consciousness conducted through an examination of nature spiritualities. Often collectively termed ‘nature religion’, nature spiritualities are concerned with developing intense personal relationships with nature, as demonstrated by my own encounter with the Snowdonian elements above. In Western cultures, nature, the earth, or ‘the environment’as it is now frequently called, has been progressively devalued by some dualistic conceptions of the universe that separate humans from nature.
