Plant Spirit Shamanism

In Plant Spirit Shamanism, Ross Heaven and Howard G Charring explore the use of one of the major allies of shaman‘s for healing, seeing, dreaming, and empowerment -plant spirit.

After observing great similarities in the use of plants among shaman‘s throughout the world, they discover the reason behind the similarities. Rather than dealing with the medical properties of the plants or specific healing techniques, shamans are communing with the spirits of the plants themselves.

From the years of in-depth shamanic work in the Amazon, Haiti, and Europe, including extensive field interviews with master shaman‘s, Heaven and Charring present the core methods of plant shamanism used in healing rituals the world over, soul retrieval, spirit extraction, sin eating, and the Amazonian traditions of this pusanga, love medicine.

They explain the techniques shamans used to establish connections to plant spirits and provide practical exercises as well as a direction of traditional Amazonian and Caribbean healing plants and their common North American equivalents so readers can explore the world of plant spirit and make them allies of their own.
