Myths of the Sacred Tree Paperback - 1993

by Moyra Caldecott; Anthea Toorchen (Illustrator)

Since the beginning of time, trees have held a special place in our collective consciousness. Moyra Caldecott gathers here a collection of myths celebrating the rich symbolism of trees, from African, European, Native American, Russian, Indian, Arabian, and other traditions--bringing to life a time when trees and forests were thought be be inhabited by spirits and divine beings.


From the publisher

Essential to life on earth since the beginning of time, trees hold a special place in our collective consciousness: rooted in the earth, reaching skyward, nourished by the elements, and enlivened by the sap running through their veins, they provide a metaphor for what it means to be human. Moyra Caldecott has gathered here a collection of myths celebrating the rich symbolism of trees, all bringing to life a time when the natural world was deeply respected and trees and forests were thought to be inhabited by spirits and divine beings. Bound by the organized structure of modern life, the human spirit yearns for the wildness and freedom of primal nature represented by forests in their natural state. Caldecott's book has captured and given voice to this spirit.
