Produktbeschreibung
The role of plants in our physical and spiritual transformation • Explores the uses of plants across cultures and centuries for healing, protection, transformation, divination, ritual, spiritual awakening, and symbolic art • Looks at 72 plants traditionally associated with death and the afterlife, heart-healing plants, alchemical herbs, protective plants, and sacred trees • Draws on ancient texts like Pliny’s Historia Naturalis and Dioscorides’ De Materia Medica, as well as insights from folklore and religious and spiritual traditions For as long as humans have told stories, plants have served as tools, guides, symbols, and sacred allies—linking us across time to our most ancient ancestors. Jacqueline Norton reveals the hidden stories of 72 remarkable plants—from ancient herbs to towering trees—tracing their vital roles in myth, medicine, and ceremony across continents and centuries. Through captivating artifacts such as an Egyptian cosmetic box honoring Sobek, a Ptolemaic statuette of Hekate carved from juniper, and a Zimbabwean fertility doll made from baobab fiber, Norton uncovers how plants intricately intertwine with human life. She shows how plants mark love and loss, protect thresholds, unlock spiritual visions, and nurture profound transformation. Featuring over 200 images of artifacts, artworks, textiles, and landscapes, this richly illustrated volume immerses readers in the vibrant material culture and living symbolism that connect plants to human experience. Whether steeped in healing brews, woven into ceremonial garments, or etched into temple walls, these plants are far more than just background scenery. They are living partners in our shared journey, connecting us intimately to our ancestors and the natural world in profound, enduring ways. Discover how the colorful green world continues to inspire wonder, resilience, and renewal by inviting us all to walk gently, listen deeply, and embrace the sacred roots beneath our feet.
