Solemnity Rites (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781962374477)

Solemnity Rites, by Loralee Clark, is an account of reimagined myths and truths of who we are as humans and how we live our histories. In the first section, Clark poses questions such as what does a stromatolite's birth, the forming of a desert, the process of grieving or a ritualized Neolithic funeral contribute to the ways in which we are an ecotone of the living world? In the second section she answers how we practice these histories through our personal powers and sacrifices, through the mysteries that our blood holds.

Clark sifts through what it means to live in relation to culture and landscape, to see into the magic that each moment holds. Solemnity Rites takes the reader on a journey through humanity, ending with the belief that even after death, life holds amazing mysteries.
