For the ancient Celtic sages, to commune with the trees was to enter a vast storehouse of knowledge and wisdom. Very little of this wisdom was written down, but only passed on orally or through direct, initiatory experience. So if we, now, want to understand the language of the trees as the ancients did, we need to learn to commune with them ourselves. This book will serve as a starting point for your own explorations. Following the Celtic Tree Alphabet - the Ogham - it gives a beautifully illustrated profile of each tree, explaining what can be learned from the tree's physical appearance, its mystical associations, ancient uses and much more. 160pp, 201mm x 253mm, illus. in colour, softback, 2006
