Celtic Wisdom of Trees : Mysteries, Magic and Medicine

The secrets of the ages are revealed in this rich compendium of ancient wisdom & knowledge about our relationship with trees, beautifully illustrated with stunning photos. Presented according to the Celtic Tree Alphabet (each letter is associated with the name of a tree), this book provides a wealth of information on the mystical aspects of trees, their traditional healing properties & more. For example, groves of willows were considered so magical that poets, musicians, priests & priestesses would meditate within them to enhance their visionary skills. Holly is a reminder of the need to calm our emotions, if we are to reach wise decisions. Birch is the tree of new beginnings, birth & springtime, & is also believed to ward off evil spirits.
