"Let’s hear it for women intent on conquering new worlds—especially on the astral plane. If we’re going to get trippy, I can think of no better guide than Maria Rodale . . . Love, Nature, Magic: Shamanic Journeys Into the Heart of My Garden is a fascinating book, part memoir, part exploration of Ms. Rodale’s encounters with the spirits of trees, bugs and bunnies. Ms. Rodale bares her soul. Part of the charm of her writing is its unfiltered and enthusiastic forthrightness; no reportorial distancing or irony here. This is a journey into her heart."—Dominique Browning, Wall Street Journal
