Book Description
Trees are sacred beings, nurturing us with oxygen, food, material for shelter, and even medicines. A heartfelt, passionate discussion of the history and meaning of trees, along with dozens of illustrations, gives a new appreciation of their beauty, uniqueness, and special place in our lives. Travel the world to examine how a multitude of cultures have formed deep and enduring bonds with trees, from the Celts, who developed a 13-month tree calendar, to the Ainu of Japan, who plant one whenever a child is born. Almost all believed these majestic gifts of nature possessed a special "life force" and were even endowed with spirits. See what qualities make a tree sacred, and find out which are considered "cosmic," which serve as a "home to the gods," which symbolize ancestral roots, and which represent fertility and transformation. What you discover will deepen your commitment to their protection, preservation, and propagation.
