An investigation of Winterfinding, a harvest feast, as conducted by Vindisir Kindred, a small group of contemporary Heathens in southwestern Ontario, shows how the development of ecological conscience is involved in ritual practices that negotiate meaning and environmental values. Ritual practices such as this that include animal sacrifice can embody an ecological conscience through physical practices that embed tacit learning of how to relate with others, human and otherwise. Ritual feasting and practices of making offerings in this community of contemporary Heathens is in the process of negotiating ecological relations. Participating in such practices can contribute to the formation a pro-environmental disposition and orientation, although what this means for participants continues to evolve.

Feraferia, ‘a love culture for wilderness’, is a contemporary Pagan religion that celebrates humans’ erotic union with Nature. It was the brainchild of artist, Frederick Adams (1928–2008), who in 1956 had a vision of a universal goddess and subsequently devoted himself to the divine feminine as a ‘Maiden Goddess of the Wilderness’ called Korê. Formally incorporated in 1967, Feraferia became the second Pagan church in US history, and it is still active today. Herein I examine Feraferia through an ecocritical lens, with a particular focus on the role of trees, the anthropomorphisation of nature envisioned as a young female body, ecosexuality, and the construction of henges; circular structures aligned with local topography, used as seasonal and astronomical calendars wherein ritual magic and ‘faerie enchantment’ are employed in order to heal and revitalise the natural world. I demonstrate that Feraferia’s enchanted approach to the world resonates with contemporary ecological activist thought, particularly ecofeminism and ecosexuality. I conclude that many of Feraferia’s ecospiritual concepts have value today because they can heighten conscious awareness of human situatedness within the real physical world, both on our own planet as well as within the wider surrounding space of our part of the universe.

This paper examines contemporary Pagan narratives about fairies, revealing themes of re-enchantment, environmental grief, and environmental justice. In these narratives, fairies are often portrayed as nature spirits and protectors of the environment who warn humans of impending disaster and suggest techniques for re-enchanting the physical environment through practices that create reciprocal relationships between humans and nature, change consciousness, and allow humans to experience an interconnected, ensouled universe. These narratives can be interpreted as belonging to a category of folk environmentalism in which expressive cultural forms provide resources for communities coping with environmental grief. They also reflect emergent vernacular ontologies which reflect contemporary Pagan efforts to re-enchant the world and shift perceptions from a naturalistic frame to one that is more animistic, in which other-than-human beings are thought to have consciousness and interiority.
