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."
Synopsis
In "Plant Spirit Shamanism", Ross Heaven and Howard 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 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 commune with the spirits of the plants themselves; shows how shamans heal using their knowledge of plant spirits as well as the plant's "medical properties" and includes extensive field interviews with master shamans of all traditions; and explores the core methods of plant shamanism - soul retrieval, spirit extraction and sin eating - and includes techniques for connecting with plant spirits. From their years of in-depth shamanic work in the Amazon, Haiti and Europe, including extensive field interviews with master shamans, Heaven and Charing present the core methods of plant shamanism used in healing rituals the world over: soul retrieval, spirit extraction, sin eating and the Amazonian tradition of pusanga (love medicine).They explain the techniques shamans use to establish connections to plant spirits and provide practical exercises as well as a directory of traditional Amazonian and Caribbean healing plants and their common North American equivalents so readers can explore the world of plant spirits and make allies of their own.
