"Books
for the Small & Large Rituals of Your Life"
Emerald
Earth Publishing's mission has always been to provide
you with spiritual books
that are ritual tools. Our books fit into the heading
of women’s spirituality,
but they are not specifically for women. They may also
fit into the heading of Pagan books,
but in truth, they are non-denominational, and simply
spiritual books, presented for the
purpose of helping you create your own rituals.

 Small,
everyday rituals become more joyful with music, and Songs
For Earthlings: A Green Spirituality Songbook
provides songs for every occasion: holidays, Earth songs,
celebrations, Goddess songs, Earth/Air/Fire/Water songs,
songs for sadness and joy, prayer and praise.
It even contains a section on teaching yourself to read
music. A wonderful treasury of music for Pagans and their
families.

 One
of the largest celebrations of the Earth-year is Winter
Solstice, and to celebrate we offer A
Winter Solstice Singing Ritual, which
comes as a complete ritual kit with a narrator’s script,
music for 15 songs, readings, all performance rights, and
a CD with all of the music both in performance and as teaching
tracks. This ritual has been presented by church groups,
circles, and choirs around the country, and is particularly
popular with Unitarian Universalist Churches and their CUUPS
groups. |

 A
large ritual, such as a wedding, calls for vows that are
very specific: what exactly are you promising this person?
What promises can you make with an open and loving heart?
Promises to Keep: Crafting
Your Wedding Ceremony helps you plan
your vows and your ceremony — which is, after all,
the whole point of the day!

 And
another life passage - the death - asks for careful attention
to numerous details — all done while you’re sick
with grief and finding it difficult to cope. Remembering
a Life: On the Death of Your Beloved gives
deeply compassionate help from a woman minister’s wisdom,
courage, and a loving heart. Although we all try to insulate
ourselves from death, this comprehensive manual belongs on
every family's bookshelf, to have before the need arises. |
|
 Keep
Simple Ceremonies is long out-of-print, but it's
a very useful book of 27 basic, easy-to-prepare rituals that
will take your group as deep as you
want to go. |
