Book excerpt: "For many Witches, there is no earthly manifestation more sacred than a tree. From their highest-reaching branches to the furthest depths of their underground roots, trees speak to us in a silent, magical language. In her newest book, Tree magic, best-selling author Lisa Chamberlain show you how to work consciously with the powerful energies of trees to enhance and improve your life. Understanding where our magical traditions come from can lead to fresh inspiration for new innovations. In this spirit, Lisa uncovers the importance of trees to the ritual and magical lives of two ancient Northern European cultures-- the Germanic peoples and the Celts-- that have long inspired modern Wiccan practices. She then focuses on 13 magical trees native to North America, to help the witches of "the New World" ground their practice of tree magic more firmly on home soil." -- Page [4] of cover.
