We wanted to take a moment to share the important work being done by our friends over at .
"Severed Branches Press is an independent eco-poetic publishing effort based in the South Salish Sea. As a group of wild-hearted animists with a shared devotion to ecology, spirituality, land defense, and community—our work is a reverent offering to the living world and its protectors.
Their mission is to center ecological literature that is woven in mythic-poetic, animist, and other vital spiritual themes that are core to our ethos as individuals deeply committed to protecting our landscapes from ecological devastation. In addition to their publishing efforts, Severed Branches Press is committed to supporting & sponsoring regional animist gatherings, facilitating cross-cultural learning opportunities centered around relationships to place, and empowering readers toward spiritual revitalization.
Their current works include: Woundspaces: Visions at the Precipice Unsettling Ecologies: Colonial Forestry vs. Tribal Sovereignty on the Olympic Peninsula & Defending the World Tree: A Journal of Animist Awakening (a biannual solstice journal). Forthcoming works include: Defending the World Tree: Ceremonial Trees, and Fight Like an Animal: Revolutionary Biology in Defense of Life, the debut book from long time land defender Arnold Schroder which will be available on Beltane 2026.
As a new press under the shadows of a dying civilization, the crew operating Severed Branches has been working under strenuous material conditions to publish works that strive to inspire readers out of fear and futility of this time. Your support for this effort will help sustain their vision for years to come!"
Thank you, Severed Branches Press, for everything you have done for Red Hawk Avalon this past year, and for all you do to defend these lands and the sacred.
