Plant Spirit Shamanism : Traditional Techniques for Healing the Soul Paperback / softback
by Ross Heaven, Howard G. Charing
Paperback / softback
Description
In Plant Spirit Shamanism, Ross Heaven and Howard G.
Charing explore the use of one of the major allies of shamans for healing, seeing, dreaming, and empowerment--plant spirits.
After observing great similarities in the use of plants among shamans throughout the world, they discovered the reason behind these similarities: Rather than dealing with the “medical properties” of the plants or specific healing techniques, shamans commune with the spirits of the plants themselves.
From their years of in-depth shamanic work in the Amazon, Haiti, and Europe, including extensive field interviews with master shamans, Heaven and Charing present the core methods of plant shamanism used in healing rituals the world over: soul retrieval, spirit extraction, sin eating, and the Amazonian tradition of pusanga(love medicine).
They explain the techniques shamans use to establish connections to plant spirits and provide practical exercises as well as a directory of traditional Amazonian and Caribbean healing plants and their common North American equivalents so readers can ex-plore the world of plant spirits and make allies of their own.
