By Dr. Blackie’s definition, a vivid sense of belongingness to a rich and many-layered world, a profound and whole-hearted participation in the adventure of life. Enchantment is a natural, spontaneous human tendency — one we possess as children, but lose, through social and cultural pressures, as we grow older. It is an attitude of mind which can be cultivated: the enchanted life is possible for anyone. It is intuitive, embraces wonder, and fully engages the mythic imagination — but it is also deeply embodied in ecology, grounded in place and community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo live this way is to be challenged, to be awakened, to be gripped and shaken to the core by the extraordinary which lies at the heart of the ordinary.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sharon Blackie","offers":[{"title":"House of Anansi Press Inc |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2018-04-24","offer_id":45652656914687,"sku":"9781487004071","price":22.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/9781487004071_large_c66d3111-a4e0-484a-94b4-be7425aaa32e.webp?v=1717519349","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781487004071","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
