Publisher's summary

A guide for connecting with the earth, your ancestors, and your communities as you come home to your whole self.

Despite our best efforts, our modern world leaves so many of us feeling isolated, unworthy, and alone. We’re unrooted from the land, untethered from our lineages, disconnected from our communities, and separated from our deepest sense of self.

In Root and Ritual, Becca Piastrelli offers a pathway back to connection and wholeness through rituals, recipes, and ancestral wisdom. “Though we live in a radically different-looking world, the needs of our bodies and spirits are the same as the ancestors we came from.”

Divided into four parts - Land, Lineage, Community, and Self - this guide takes you on a journey for engaging more deeply with your life:

  • Part one introduces practices for reconnecting with the land, including seasonal recipes, crafting with plants, and tending your home
  • In part two, you’ll learn to reclaim the gifts of your lineage as you understand past harms and explore the traditional folklore, foods, and arts of those who came before
  • Part three centers around community, helping you cultivate sisterhood and celebrate meaningful rites of passage
  • In part four, you’ll return to yourself as you open your intuition, tune in to your body, and awaken the wild woman within

A rich and dynamic treasure chest of timeless teachings, Root and Ritual is a beautiful guide for knowing who you are - and that you belong here.

Critic reviews

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)

thought-provoking

This is a must read. Becca perfectly articulated the ways we need to connect to our lineage through various ceremonial practices and much more. She goes in depth and offers many opportunities for reflection and time to pause.

The contents are unique.

This is the book my heart has been looking for. A lot of other spiritual books all hold the same information told in different ways, but this one stands alone. I’ll be listening again and again. Thank you.

Unexpected Great Read (Listen)

I am not an overly spiritual person, but have found myself fascinated with thinking about my ancestors, specifically the women before me, after doing a deep DNA test years ago. I wasn’t looking specifically for this book, just something interesting to listen to during my drive. Well what a find! The author shared so many ways we can connect to our ancestors, as well as to other women AND ourselves and nature. The author’s voice reading this book was so calming, so that was another perk of listening to it. I am so glad I found this book, and have asked my local bookstore to order two copies…one for me and one to gift to my daughter.

Thoroughly Enjoyable

A gentle reminder to slow down, this book also asked me to think deeper about not just the past I have, but of those who came before me. Far too often do we look to the future; but it’s in looking to the past where we find some of the answers we’ve been looking for. We have so much learning and exploration to do when it comes to the land on which we walk and the lives in which we choose to lead.

Racist undertones

I wanted to love this book, some of it was good. but not at all what I was expecting. Pretty disappointed.
