Plant Spirit Shamanism: Traditional Techniques for Healing the Soul by Ross Heaven and Howard G. Charing

Ross Heaven and Howard G. Charing explore relationships with plant spirits in Plant Spirit Shamanism. Field interviews and accounts from the Amazon, Haiti and Europe accompany exercises involving spiritual allies, soul retrieval, floral baths and other ritual practices.

A directory introduces plants used in Amazonian and Caribbean traditions. The focus is shamanic relationships rather than a clinical herbal prescribing manual; descriptions of plant use do not establish safety for ingestion or replace qualified medical advice.
