Ross Heaven is the Joseph Campbell of our times. --James Shreeve, journalist for The Guardian and Maxim magazine
Product Description
Plant Spirit Wisdom reveals the hidden arts of the sin eater, a Celtic expert in healing the soul through shamanic ritual and spiritual herbalism. The ancient Welsh, Irish, and Scottish healers drew their inspiration and talents from the hidden pagan, shamanic, and herbal traditions, and especially from sin eating: the understanding that the soul is a web of energy which connects us to everyone and everything. This energy can be depleted or lost when we act out of accordance with our spiritual purpose and 'sin'. Plants and practices of soul retrieval were used to rebalance this energy, release old attachments, and repattern our lives for a more positive and healthier future. In this book, for the first time, these practices are revealed, as well as fascinating insights into the spiritual beliefs of our ancestors and the plants and herbs that can help us find health, stay healthy, and, more than this... understand our soul's purpose on Earth. Forword by Jane Gifford author of The Wisdom of Trees and The Celtic Wisdom of Trees

Plant Spirit Wisdom can be seen as a wonderful practical guide and extension to Ross Heaven and Howard Charings' book "Plant Spirit Shamanism". As well as being a delicous book simply to read and discover ancient healing techniques, this is also a deeply practical book, and has many different sections with clear instructions on how to find, prepare and work with various plants and herbs as used by our Celtic ancestors.
I recommend this book both to those who are starting out on their shamanic paths and wish to discover the almost lost arts of ancient healing techniques, and also those who wish to work with plants and herbs at their very deepest levels and require practical guidance on how to do so.

Another Tryptaphobe. No mention of Psilocybe semilanceata! I'm with Terence McKenna on this one. The new age movement strives to distract from the psychedelic experience as we instinctively know it's REAL and it can change everything.

pretty good- though one book is never enough
14 Nov 2010
Format:Paperback
This is a useful book, written from a spiritual perspective I like. It was worth it to me to get this. I like reviews that mention similar books, so I will do that. Wisdom of the Earth, by Barry Kapp, goes into similar ideas. Amazon doesn't have it in stock, though. This book is a start on a lifelong path, and by way, Americans even in the 20th century let the plants talk to them. There Are No Incurable Diseases: Dr. Schulze's 30-Day Cleansing & Detoxification Program, School of Natural HealingHerbal Home Health Care, Herbal Healing for Women, Complete Medicinal Herbal (Natural care) can round this out, on the herbal side. For the Shamanic side, The Physics of Miracles: Tapping in to the Field of Consciousness Potential The Future Is Yours: Do Something About It! There is a Sufi story about moths, and the only moth that really understands the candle is the one who gives himself totally to the light, and the light gives itself to him. This applies to shamanic work. Shamanic techniques work from the larger self, especially in service to others. Shamanism means working with the subconscious, and at times superconscious minds. It cannot be apprehended by the conscious mind, the ego. Without service, many things just don't work, or work only slightly. Whispers of the Ancients: Native Tales for Teaching and Healing in Our Time gives you some idea of how very different native storytelling is, and stories shape the Universe. Indigenous life, for which these techniques go hand in glove, can be approximated from Journey to the Ancestral Self: The Native Lifeway Guide to Living in Harmony With Earth Mother, Book 1 (Bk.1) These are very good basic books, to getting out of the box of Western culture, into the much more fascinating 7 worlds of the spiritual traveller. Wong Kiew Kit's books on Chi Kung show how ideas like this survive in Chinese culture, and Chinese Herbal medicine has aspects very similar to these. Joseph Murphy The Power of Your Subconscious Mind (Revised) can help in understanding this. Healing For The Millions, by King, would also help.
