Becoming Vegetalista: Veriditas and the Journey to the Self
About this book
Plants are some of the oldest spiritual teachers that human beings have known. Native cultures have insisted for centuries that their knowledge of plant medicines were given them in dreams and visions by the plants themselves. For millennia spiritual adepts throughout Asian cultures have learned at the feet of plants. Within those lineages plants are considered to be some of the most subtle teachers for those on the ecstatic journey. Those that follow such a path are what some call vegetalistas.Stephen has been exploring this dimension of human relation with plants for over 40 years. This new work, Becoming Veriditas and the Journey to the Self , is the fourth in a series that began with Sacred Plant Medicine , continued with the award-winning Lost Language of Plants , then The Secret Teachings of Plants , and ended most recently with Plant Intelligence and the Imaginal Realm .
