Not illustrated. 1900 edition. Excerpt: ... FLORA SACRA Some portions of the following essay have appeared in the ' Contemporary' and other Reviews. Flowers seem to have retained more of the fragrance of a world which dwelt around the gates of the terrestrial Paradise than anything else in creation. To be in contact with them is purifying, refining, ennobling; their simple, gentle life soothes and softens the mind fretful and feverish with the restlessness of the moiling crowd and the traffic of life's stage; and in their companionship we apprise at its true value the artificial existence of modern life, as . our better nature realises that man was originally created U to live in a garden, and not in a town, and that in wandering from the memory even of his old home he is working ' against the collar, ' and a law of his being. If we agree with Bacon, that 'God Almighty planted a garden, ' we may be very sure that He intended us to follow His example. To have been placed on this earth * to dress and to keep it' was the divine intention; to make it a garden of delights for ourselves and our children, where the healthy proyning and stirring of the soil should produce, not only nourishable fruit for the body, but also most nourishable food for the mind--this was the design of the Creator; and until the labourer return to the land, until that political cry be true of us all in every class of life; until we alter our present reading of the sacred writings of our faith which makes us interpret those words ' to dress and to keep it' as 'to dress up our bodies and to keep up an establish ment'--until then we shall have a race far less 'sons of God' than 'children of Mammon.' There was a time, even in this century, when to care for such simple things as flowers was considered, in Englishmen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of the sacred botany and the pagan origins and rituals of Christmas • Analyzes the symbolism of the many plants associated with Christmas • Reveals the shamanic rituals that are at the heart of the Christmas celebration The day on which many commemorate the birth of Christ has its origins in pagan rituals that center on tree worship, agriculture, magic, and social exchange. But Christmas is no ordinary folk observance. It is an evolving feast that over the centuries has absorbed elements from cultures all over the world--practices that give plants and plant spirits pride of place. In fact, the symbolic use of plants at Christmas effectively transforms the modern-day living room into a place of shamanic ritual. Christian Rätsch and Claudia Müller-Ebeling show how the ancient meaning of the botanical elements of Christmas provides a unique view of the religion that existed in Europe before the introduction of Christianity. The fir tree was originally revered as the sacred World Tree in northern Europe. When the church was unable to drive the tree cult out of people’s consciousness, it incorporated the fir tree by dedicating it to the Christ child. Father Christmas in his red-and-white suit, who flies through the sky in a sleigh drawn by reindeer, has his mythological roots in the shamanic reindeer-herding tribes of arctic Europe and Siberia. These northern shamans used the hallucinogenic fly agaric mushroom, which is red and white, to make their soul flights to the other world. Apples, which figure heavily in Christmas baking, are symbols of the sun god Apollo, so they find a natural place at winter solstice celebrations of the return of the sun. In fact, the authors contend that the emphasis of Christmas on green plants and the promise of the return of life in the dead of winter is just an adaptation of the pagan winter solstice celebration.
