Description
The roots of our spirituality
Filled with stories and myths, this book offers an overview of the shamanic roots of our culture and puts the reader in touch with these ancient ways that can still be alive in us today. A tree without roots cannot live. Neither can a human being.
Together with Wolf-Dieter Storl, we explore the shamanic practices of the indigenous peoples of Europe. What healing methods did the Celts, Germanic tribes and Slavs know? How did shamans deal with the gods, nature spirits, disease demons and other beings from the other world? What role did sacred healing plants or totemic animals play? How and why does this concern us today? An inspiring journey through history and a message to our world today. We are nature. This book speaks about it in dazzling colors.
Wolf-Dieter Storl is a cultural anthropologist and ethnobotanist. He has taught at various universities in the USA, Austria, Switzerland and India. Travels to many countries around the world and contact with indigenous peoples as well as local farmers and herbalists shaped his worldview.
