description: VERDANT GNOSIS is a poetic rendering of the Latin expression Viridis Geniii which refers to the collective spiritual intelligence of our botanical environment. Viridis means 'green verdant growing'--all that is lush and nourishing; while genii is the origin of the words 'genius' and 'genie'--the spirit daemon or guiding intelligence of an entity. Viridis Genii--the verdant gnosis--is thus the spiritual path of working with the intelligence of living nature.Within this volume you will find a selection of international authorities on the Green Way ranging from professional plant alchemists shamanic herb-masters to bioregional animists. Herein you will learn the ways in which you can communicate deeply with the mysterious intelligence of the plant kingdom breaking down the barriers of anthropocentric thinking that separate humanity from nature.Introduction --Catamara Rosarium and Jenn Zahrt PhDGreen Gold: Alchemy in the Plant Realm --Robert Allen BartlettThe Genius in the Bottle: Bioregional Animism and the Viridis Genii --Marcus McCoyPlant Communication: Two Relatively Simple Approaches --Sean CrokeThe Wisdom of the Trees --Julie Charette NunnBenedicaria: The Blessing Way of Southern Italian Folk Woman --Gail Faith EdwardsUm ClarAo nas Matas: Working with Plant Spirits in Brazilian Quimbanda --Jesse Hathaway DiazDream Grass --Ryan WazkaTwenty-First Century Visionary Medicine Woman --Shonagh HomeThe Rose in Sensorium --Catamara Rosarium
