The Recovery Spiral: A Pagan Path To Healing: A Pagan Path To Healing

The first recovery plan based on 12-step principles specifically for Pagans and others of nontraditional spirituality--combing new science and ancient knowledge. Employing an eclectic mix of ancient wisdom, modern psychology, and creative spiritual empowerment to help readers recover from trauma and destructive behavior, this book interweaves principles from the author's previous title (Building a Magical Relationship, written with Jane Raeburn, 2002) with a "12-step" program for recovery and healing. This groundbreaking book is meant to help those readers who have process-or substance-abuse and relationship problems but cannot find help in standard 12-step recovery literature, which leaves little room for inclusion of those who do not practice a traditional Western faith. The Recovery Spiral offers detailed methods for overcoming abuse of alcohol, tobacco, drugs; techniques to deal with eating disorders, gambling, over and underspending; ways to overcome codependent behavior, sexual issues, and miscommunication; and much more. Featured are illustrated and interactive Tarot readings with individualized suggestions for coping with many serious life problems. Readers will learn to give up destructive substances, relationships, and behaviors and move toward crafting loving, deep relationships with others, as well as how to find balance and inner transformation that can last a lifetime.
