More nature and God recommendations please. This chart is not enough. I'll even take more nature themes in general.

[Anonymous No.17579421]

I have this chart too with some nature stuff.

Not quite that but possibly still interesting would be works by Eliade such as The Sacred and the Profane, or Myth of the Eternal Return.
Also not exactly what you requested but Evola's Meditations on the Peaks is about nature and transcendence, but mostly it's extremely comfy.

Thank you as well. Watched the movie of River Runs Through It long ago, I wanted to learn to fly fish soon after but I don't live near many streams so I just lazy fish.

What did you think of Klage? Been interested in him but haven’t really found any easily torrentable English translations of him.

[Anonymous No.17580465]

There is no "nature", only Creation. God did not make nature and man dichotomous, but as a part of the same act of creation. Attributing transcendental qualities to those products of Creation, which are not man, is vanity. It is right and just that man look at Creation, and see that he is obliged and duty-bound to carry the burden of his fallenness and try to aid those who have fallen with him. Steward does not mean conserve, it does not mean cherish, it does not mean to idolize, it means to safeguard until the King returns. So far, our works have only proven man's vanity and apostasy.
Aside from that little rant, anything and everything by wendell berry (the unsettling of america), edward abbey (desert solitaire), gene logsdon (letter to young farmers), and jacques cousteau (the silent world) are top tier.

You can't expect me to take mankind seriously when I've witnessed first-hand how we waste the resources given to us.

[Anonymous No.17580594]

>>17580562
But that's the whole point; stewardship is a command and not an idea. The fact that we fail at one of God's commands not only reflects our initial fallenness, but our continued distancing from Him as well. Creation is not a resource, it doesn't even belong to us.

Nature has perfections, in order to show that she is the image of God: and defects, in order to show that she is only his image.

Why so many Nazis? I mean I'll still read them if they apply, but this one almost seems like bait.

There's only like two? I don't see why it matters anyway. Germany did more for environmentalism (prior to the war) than basically any other country up until that point. Their nationalist slogan was literally "blood and soil". The current animal welfare laws in Germany were initially introduced by the National Socialists. Take it for what you will.

pic related is an Edwardian romance novel by W. H. Hudson that links the Romantic naturalism with modern notions of environmentalism. It became popular in the 1920s, and was praised by Joseph Conrad.

It's been a while since I read the book but I enjoyed it, he takes some ideas from the Lebensphilosophie movement, others from the conservative revolution, some Jungian ideas and makes them into his own. I don't always agree but it was a very interesting read nonetheless, might have to read it again.

Because nazis were way ahead of their time with environmentalism and animal welfare among other things. You don't want to read books/authors because some of the people they were associated with did the bad thing? Too bad.

Why would you ask "why so many muhh nazis" on a nationalist deep ecology list if you didn't have some sort of bias to not read books associated with them in the first place?
>Do Nazis have books on reading comprehension?

Curiosity. You're too steeped in a community of irony that you can't answer a question without diving to conclusions.

Accusing me of labelling you by guilt by association then proceeding to label me by guilt by association is not a good look. I don't use this website much I'm just an ironic person.

The classic /lit/ pseud. I already had you sussed the moment you said "I mean..." at the start of your sentence. It's a classical midwit psychological defence mechanism to appear like you are adding something to a conversation.

I recommend the documentaries Call of the Forest: The Forgotten Wisdom of Trees, which touches on Celtic mythology a lot, and Intelligent Trees, which is a summary of The Hidden Life of Trees.
I know these aren't books, but I felt like mentioning them.

Because it's just Nazi shit in disguise. I'm guessing the "real causes" of environmental issues is the big bad Jews yawn
