Summary
"A nature connection and spiritual wellness tool, this book combines the myths and legends of 35 trees with nature-based spirituality. Along with stunning illustrations that capture each tree's unique properties, Nelson offers a new way of connecting with trees-and in turn the landscape and nature around us-through stories, lore, and sacred symbolism. Tales drawn from around the world (including North America, Africa, Oceana, Asia, South America, and Europe) reveal how these iconic trees have become so significant in human culture. Featuring Native American stories about the famous California redwoods, Norse myths about the mighty Oak tree, Incan tales about Palo Santo, and Middle Eastern folklore about Frankincense, Tree Lore covers many continents and cultures. An affirmation following each tree's story encourages readers to pause and consider its message and can be used as a daily meditation tool to find strength in the trees and their ancient wisdom"-- Provided by publisher.
