About the author
Ashley River Brant is the author of Tending to the Sacred: Rituals to Connect with Earth, Spirit, and Self (2021), published jointly by St. Martin's Essentials and Sounds True, and its companion, the Messages from the Heart of the Divine Oracle Deck (2021). The book offers fifty rituals intended to deepen a reader's sense of connection to life, purpose and the natural world, framed as ways of treating ordinary moments as points of contact with something larger. The accompanying oracle deck extends the same approach into card form, with imagery and messages the author describes as mirroring the reader's own inner truth. Both works center on ritual and reflection as everyday practices rather than on formal ceremonial or doctrinal systems, and are aimed at readers drawn to earth-based spirituality and personal ritual work rather than at practitioners of a specific established tradition.
