Dreamlike, meditative, and poetic, She of the Sea is a love song. To the ocean. To becoming. To magic. To freedom. A lyrical exploration of the call of the sea and the depth of our connection to it. "This book will transform and reinvigorate your relationship with the sea. A delicious sea-scrap book, Pearce weaves myths and science into an enveloping net, and empowers the reader to return to the sea, informed and enchanted." —Alice Tarbuck, author of A Spell in the Wild She of the Sea is a lyrical exploration of the call of the sea and the depth of our connection to it, rooted in the author’s personal experience living on the coast of the Celtic Sea in Ireland. This book spans from coastal plants to the color blue, pebbles to prayer, via shapeshifting and suicidal ideation, erosion and immersion, cold water swimming and water birth, seaweed and cyanotypes, from Japanese freedivers and Celtic sea goddesses, selkies to surfing, and mermaids to Mary.
