LUCY COOPER. Pilgrimage, folklore & the call of the land.

Pilgrimage, folklore & the call of the land.

What does it mean to walk in the footsteps of ancient stories? To follow the winding paths between holy wells and stone circles that connect us back to the dreaming of the earth?

With the revival of interest in pilgrimage, many are hearing the call to reconnect with the lore of the land.

Lucy Cooper — author, publisher, wilderness rites-of-passage guide, and co-founder of Cista Mystica Press — has spent her life weaving myth, magic, and the ecology of place. With an MA in Myth & Ecology, and years digging in to landscape, lore and story, she asks how pilgrimage can rekindle our relationship with the land in a time of disconnection.

In the wake of a 350-mile walking pilgrimage along the Michael Mary Way, Lucy explores the ancient practice of walking with intention – an invitation to step off the modern map and reawaken to the mysteries beneath our feet.
