Whispers from the Woods is a highly informative guide, incorporating spiritual, mystical, and the metaphysical aspects of trees, which helps to enable readers in exploring the beauty and wisdom of trees by forging connections with them. For those readers who already have a living relationship with trees, this book can help you reconnect with the trees if you’ve lost touch, and/or perhaps find new ways of connecting.
A plethora of easily accessed information is contained within this book, beginning with an overview of the biological and historical importance of trees, also touching upon some of the ancient mythologies. There is also a tree calendar, Ogham exploration, the role of trees in spellwork and ritual, Shamanic Journeying, information on 50 different kinds of trees and their magical properties, Feng Shui, Zodiacal information, and much more. In addition, there is a table of contents, appendixes, a bibliography, and an index.
I highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to explore how trees not only can but also will aid one in many varying ways upon the inroads of life.
