So much of our future depends on our ability to use ancient earth knowledge. In this crucially important book, author Stephanie Rose Bird recounts the story of the sacred wood: how to live in it, learn from it, and derive spiritual enrichment from it, as well as how to preserve and protect it. \u003ci\u003eThe Healing Tree \u003c\/i\u003eoffers functional, accessible recipes, remedies, and rituals derived from a variety of African and African American traditions to serve mind, body, soul, and spirit. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Healing Tree\u003c\/i\u003e celebrates the forest: its powers, spirits, magic, medicine, and mysteries. Bird shares how trees have provided her with personal healing, then allows us to share in that process for our own benefit. Bird's book follows her own personal journey, but Africa is always her touchstone--the persistent and tenacious ancestral mother wisdom and spiritual foundation that refuses to fade away. \u003ci\u003eThe Healing Tree\u003c\/i\u003e preserves this knowledge, presenting it as relevant and viable and demonstrating in intimate detail how vestiges of that knowledge took root in the Western Hemisphere, in African American culture, and more broadly in American culture in general. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Previously published as \u003ci\u003eA Healing Grove\u003c\/i\u003e, this updated edition includes a new preface by the author and a source guide for the botanicals discussed within.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStephanie Rose Bird\u003c\/b\u003e is a painter and the author of several bestselling books on earth spirituality, hoodoo, and anthropology, including \u003ci\u003eSticks, Stones, Roots and Bones; 365 Days of Hoodoo; Light, Bright and Damned Near White;\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAfrican American Magick.\u003c\/i\u003e Bird, who holds a BFA cum laude and MFA, is a devotee of the Divinely Feminine.
