Updated Release Date 21 June 2022

RITONA Press is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of Courting The Wild Queen, by poet, herbalist, and mystic Seán Pádraig O'Donoghue.

“Just as a god might be the mind that arises from a forest, a river, a planet or a cluster of galaxies, so too each person’s consciousness is a collective consciousness born of the matter and energy that make up our beings.”

Courting The Wild Queen is a deeply poetic exploration of the ancient and modern world through the mythic and the ecological. Mycelium networks spreading their tangled threads of meaning beneath the forest floor reveal to the reader our own tapestries of meaning, while the ancient lore of Irish Kings and Queens of Land unveil the lost—but recoverable—centres of human existence.

Specifications:

156 pages, 5.25in x 8in, perfect bound with matte cover and black & white interior
