The Spirit of Trees

$59.95

Category:
Trees are one of Earth’s oldest life forms; silent witnesses to human evolution and the passing of time. Many people today are unaware of their significance in Earth’s ecology, their medicinal and nutritional properties, or the veneration bestowed on them by ancient peoples.
This book captures all these elements in an inspiring holistic appraisal. Hageneder looks in detail at 24 of Europe and North America’s best-loved trees: their physical characteristics, their healing powers, the traditions associated with them and how they have inspired human beings through the ages.
Beautifully illustrated with black and white photographs and illustrations.

REVIEWS

‘The Spirit of Trees: Science, Symbiosis and Inspiration” (Floris Books, 2000) is the prettier (of his three books), with lavish photographs and drawings of each of the 24 trees described within. Here, Hageneder has narrowed his review to trees growing in Europe and Britain which also happen to thrive in North America. This book goes into more detail than “The Meaning of Trees” and where appropriate, mentions the tree’s influence on the Celtic Ogham system. I note that not all the plants of the Ogham are included – shrubs such as Gorse, Broom or Heather, not being trees, are left out. In addition, Hageneder adds trees such as Maple, Elm and Linden, etc., not attributed in the Ogham, but trees that are nonetheless, important to the history and folklore of the northern hemisphere. All in all, this is a very engaging and beautiful work peppered with the unique insights and observations that are a feature of Fred Hageneder’s writing.’ Kay Broome, Goodreads
