Magical Guardians is a book about trees, but a book with a difference, for it acknowledges trees to be wise beings who can teach us much if we approach them in the right way. Philip Heselton shows how to go about it, revealing the origins of our awakening interest in - and love for - trees. He explains that trees have a spiritual nature, and shows that opening up to this spirit has been a constant feature in human society. Through practical guidance, this book gives hints on how we can make that contact for ourselves. The personalities of various tree species - our magical guardians - are explored, and Philip reveals how we can start to understand some of their deeper meanings.
