Exploring the history and meaning of trees throughout history, this book shows us that, from the earliest times and in the most diverse cultures, trees have been associated with the gaining of knowledge and wisdom, with healing and nourishment, with the arts of writing and memorizing, and most of all with the powers of love and consciousness. Trees were seen as gates, gates to other states of consciousness reached by prayer and contemplation. By restoring to us this ancient knowledge of trees and the reverence in which they were and ought to be held, The Heritage of Trees imparts to us a gift of incalculable value. 191pp, 175mm x 246mm, illus. in b&w, hardback, 2001
