Nature Speak

Just like my copy of Animal Speak, Nature Speak has come loose at the binder and has separated into several different sections now from so much use! As a shamanic practitioner and teacher, Nature Speak is opened and perused and read and reread at least 20 times per week. This resource is a must to own as you will want to look things up over and over again along your spiritual journey. As an author of several books on shamanism and healing, Seeing in the Dark: Claim Your Own Shamanic Power Now and in the Coming Age, Energy for Life: Connect with the Source (Next Step), and Inner Power: Six Techniques for Increased Energy & Self-Healing I have a deep appreciation for the concise and beauitful way Ted shares his gifts of explanation and description of the gifts of Nature and Spirit with the world. Sometimes information received through journeys or direct knowing is difficult to understand and interpret. Having a resource such as this to use as a guidepost along the personal journey is a real blessing. Thank you Ted!

I wish I'd have this book years ago when I was first starting down the nature-based spiritual path. Like Ted's other books, this is packed full of useful and interesting information, some of which is available elsewhere -- sure -- but much is unique to his work. This is a valuable resource and I highly recommend it to all who are seeking a more grounded, whole, and alive relationship with natural awareness.

Ted Andrews provides powerful insights into how nature elements speak to us each day, if we pay attention to their messages. I recommend this book for anyone who loves spending time in nature.

I was on vacation in NW Canada Rockies area and discovered this book in a little shop, and I couldn't leave the country without it (just in case I couldn't find it quick enough in the US). It's beyond "plants" you ID with. There's ceremonies (like making a staff -- or celebrating Solstice etc), a dictionary of landscapes (why are you drawn to oceans), magical rhythms (like seasons, angels, etc) ... even the meaning of numbers in nature (why did you plant two birches?) And of course the expected definition of plants, trees, flowers, etc. (Marigold: "keynote: words have healing power; sacrifice out of love if necessary." "It is a flower of love and sacrifice")
