Plant Spirit Shamanism

In this incredible book R. Heaven and H.G. Charing explore the use of one of the major allies of shamans for healing, seeing, dreaming and empowerment: plant spirits.

After observing great similarities in the use of plants among the shamans throughout the world, they discovered the reason behind these similarities: Rather than dealing with the "medical properties" of the plants or specific healing techniques, shamans are communing with the spirits of the plants themselves.

From their extensive travels to indigenous cultures that understand life very differently from those in the 'developed' world, the authors reveal a wealth of plant knowledge that has been lost to the Western civilization.
