Demeter's Daughters are camp of Children of Gaia dedicated to creating parks and inspiring a reverence of nature in children.
Overview[]
| “ | We heal the world by delivering the wayward human children of Gaia to the bosom of the mother. We are very active in human society, where we advocate a return to nature. We promoted the naturalism of the Age of Enlightenment, and now we spearhead the environmental movement. We have an extensive outreach program to humankind, in which we demonstrate a reverence for the living world which is attractive to most people who are at all in touch with the life within them. All humans must be introduced to the natural world at an early age. If they are, they become profoundly connected to nature, all of life and Gaia. This automatically develops their human empathy, ripens their love for all life, and inoculates them against the fear-based temptations of the Wyrm. We attribute the rise in urban street crime to the disconnection of urban settings from the natural environment. Many children grow up with no natural areas in which to play. Out Kinfolk supporters, like the famed Frederick Law Olmstead, battle against the often Wyrm-corrupted and Weaver-riddled city planners to create huge natural areas in the midst of concrete jungles. New York's Central Park may not be sufficient to humanize all of Manhattan, but it has sustained a huge flowering of Gaia in a land paved from shore to shore, and many New Yorkers point to the park as their sole source of sanity. The Wyrm has not besieged the natural world because it thinks it can destroy Gaia that way. Gaia is too strong for oil spills and toxic waste and strip mining and clear cutting alone to ever destroy her. The Wyrm besieges the natural world to corrupt humankind, and thereby end the world. We welcome any Children of Gaia from any camp to join us, and be part of both camps. |
