5.0 out of 5 stars A Tree Lovers Dream, November 14, 2000
By "xkalaber_" (Maine, United States) - See all my reviews
This is a superb book in every way. First off, it comes in hardcover which I often prefer.

The author discusses 21 different types of trees: birch, rowan, ash, golden gorse, alder, willow, hawthorn, royal oak, heather, holly, hazel, apple, aspen, entwining ivy, broom, blackthorn, elder, yew, nameless day, pine, and beech.

Each section discusses three areas of each tree; mystery which provides historical information such as where it came from, who transplanted it, who worshiped it in older times, and its life span; the trees magical use for spells and what its main power is; healing is discussed and how each tree has special healing abilities.

The author also provides information on the Ogham Alphabet (the celtic tree calendar along with symbols).

What is extra special about this book are the photographs. They are full size pictures of the trees in various surroundings and in color. There are no artists interpretation of what the tree looks like, this book shows you the trees in the best photos of trees I have ever seen in a book.

If you are looking for a book about trees, what their magical use is, what they represent, etc., then this is the book for you. With incredible amounts of information combined with excellent photographs, personaly, I feel you would be hard pressed to find a better book about trees anywhere. Blessed Be.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wisdom is What You Will Receive, March 25, 2003
By TotalEarthGirl "Kilroy" (Millville, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
"The Wisdom of Trees" is one of the most fasinating books I've
read yet. First off, I love trees and have books identifing them,etc, but this book goes beyond genius and familia. It talks about the ancient people from all over who worshiped what trees, what Gods or Goddess were watched over that tree. Also some
intriguing information from where legends of witches and such
started. I talk about this book to whoever will listen..LOL
I highly recommend it to anyone interested in medicinal herbs,
ancient practices...Celts, Norse, Greek, Egyptian..., planets, gems, history...I could go on and on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb!, February 28, 2008
By hamadryad (Bisbee, AZ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Wisdom of Trees (Paperback)
I purchased this book as a gift for a friend of mine who wanted to learn more about the medicinal and magical aspects of trees. I was so impressed with both the research and the writing that it has now become a part of my personallibrary as well. Easy to read and very infomative!

4.0 out of 5 stars Amaizing pictures!
It has beautiful display of pictures and excellent quality of paper. Besides this I think is kind of a follow up for "The Meaning of Tress" which I bought years ago. Read more
