Cloud Easton the meaning of titles; Gatta
For Gatta's publication, Making Nature Sacred, comes off almost as a how to book. Rather than spiritual advise and guidance, the wording almost implies a ritual or special ceremony to which a person must perform to make land sacred. The mental image I personally pick up is that of cultism and sorcery. Having read the book and understanding the implications I understand that He simply tries to explain what it is in nature that draws we humans into making it holy, but to a passer by who glanced At the title I think would get the wrong impression.
