[close] Calling All Wild Women! Become a Founding Sister of Wild Reads, a book club for adventurous spirits seeking deeper connections to nature, self-discovery, and the stories that ignite our souls.

[close] Welcome to Book Spirits! We are one of the oldest spiritual reading groups...both online and off since 2013. :) Travel with us on the winding road that weaves in and out of the mundane and magickal. Cleanse your heart and mind of all cares and observe Water; it can teach you to yield as well as flow. Walk upon the soft Earth with others who share a deep love of the natural and "super" natural world. Lift your arms into an amber Sky. Turn your ambitions and passions into fuel for Fire and explore the vast realm of the Spirit and all that is possible through it. Our members honor life uplifting and nature-based paths with roots that stretch deep across ancient times as well as into modern times. We primarily read nature, pagan, magickal, and spiritual books. We first vote from our Book Cove's collection of titles we have gathered. Then, we begin each book on the New Moon (or thereabouts) and host a group chat once per month in addition to other ongoing discussions here. For more details (such as when a book begins, chat times, etc.) please look under our Book Discussions thread. Who reads with us? We consider seekers 18+ (and their family members or partners) who are genuinely interested in spiritual growth and the honoring of their spiritual gifts in order to create a better Earth and multi-dimensional universe for all of us! Please be sure to add an email address to your Goodreads profile or let us know where you wish to receive group messages and updates. :) Blessings, Rev. Ravyn Onca Creator

[close] Our title is a playful nod to C.S. Lewis’s 1944 lecture, "The Inner Ring." In it, Lewis warns against the subtle temptation to chase ever‑smaller, more exclusive circles — the “in crowd” — at the cost of integrity and joy. The “Outer Ring” flips that idea on its head: we welcome the mix of familiar and unfamiliar voices, valuing curiosity, honesty, and genuine connection over status or secrecy. Here, the only ring worth joining is the one that stays open.
