Product Description

Review

"Plant Spirit Shamanism takes readers into realms that defy rational logic and scientific theory, showing graphically that we humans are not the only intelligent life on this planet. 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 Western civilization.This book is both a fascinating read and a considerable challenge to the orthodox mind."

Product Description

The authors explain the techniques that shamans use to establish connections to plant spirits. Practical exercises are provided using traditional Amazonian and Caribbean healing plants and their common North American equivalents, so that readers can explore the world of plant spirits and make allies of their own.

Format:Paperback
The author's love for their subject is clear all through the book. A reader new to this subject will encounter quite a few challenging concepts: that plants can talk,even sing to man. Another challenging concept is the use of spells to get what you want: the authors argue that it is okay to use spells to attract a lover.
The plants that are particularly studied are the plants in Central South America: the authors try hard to make the book relevant to other readers by suggesting similar plants in Europe.
There are some concepts that are difficult to accept: e.g. the shape of the plant indicating its possible use. So a plant that is shaped like a vine is good for warding off snakes. However, one could equally argue that such a shape makes it good for immoblising one.
This book is an introduction to plant shamanism and so there is some loss in depth as it tries to cover too many topics. You will need to read more widely (and practise) to get a more indepth knowledge of this fascinating topic.

masterful plant work 30 May 2007
By lyvanB
Format:Paperback
I read this book to prepare myself for a plant spirit shamanism trip to the Amazon rainforest I am taking with Ross this year and must say that I was amazed and knocked out by some of the informa\tion. Plants that talk, walk, count, sing, plants that bring visions, that heal, that can change lives. Plants are amazing healers and transformers. As Ross says "nature is alive and is talking to us. This is NOT a metaphor"! I would recommend this book to anyobe intersted in plants, herbs, healing, energy work, magic, ayahuasca, or who is planning a trip to another country where you might be involved with shamanic practices. This is a wide ranging book that looks at many cultures and their healing tradsitions. It is very readable and like Ross' other books, packed with information. Excellent value for money and a great read!

I read this book without having to many expectations, and I found it to be a most interesting and absorbing book. It contains the right mixture of objective views, ways to explore this path for yourself and personal subjective experiences the latter make for a good read.
