Descrição do livro
Every tree has something to say.
The oak speaks of strength, the willow of a love that bends but will not break, and the yew, in the churchyard, of a life that outlasts death itself. Long before the Victorians pinned meanings to flowers, people read the wildwood as a language, and this is the book that teaches you to speak it.
The Language of Trees gathers the meanings, myths, and folklore of more than forty trees into a keepsake A to Z, from the druids' sacred oak to the rowan planted at the door to keep witches out. It also does something most tree books won't: it tells you the truth, sorting the truly ancient lore from the "Celtic tree calendar" that was invented barely a lifetime ago.
Best of all, it shows you how to use the language, giving trees as messages for births, weddings, farewells and every occasion between, whether as a pressed leaf, a planted sapling, or a wreath bound for a door.
Part folklore, part gift book, part the quiet craft of saying what words cannot, it is a book to plant a meaning by, and to give to anyone who loves trees, gardens, myth, or the old ways.
Discover what the trees have been saying all along, and how to say it back.
