reviewed Visionary Plant Consciousness: The Shamanic Teachings of the Plant World on November 18, 2007 Visionary Plant Consciousness: The Shamanic Teachings of the Plant World
This is an excellent book for anyone interested in entheogenic plants. The authors collectively practice reverence and respect for plant teachers and the indigenous cultures who know how to use them for healing and maintaining social cohesion. The messages within this book are especially essential for anyone curious about delving into the deep waters of entheogens for the first time.
Other equally important discussions explain why the war on drugs is disastrous on every front, from its negative social impacts to the ecological devastation wrought by its senseless policies. Altogether, the wide array of authors present a comprehensive message of how visionary plants, when used in the right cultural context with intelligence and respect, can help restore balance to our selves, our communities, our planet.
