The Psychic Power of Plants

By John Whitman, 1975. Published by W.H. Allen & Co. Ltd.

"The ancients knew secrets we have long since forgotten. The Egyptians worshipped the mandrake root. The Greek gods has their own sacred trees. Witchcraft had its special plants..." - John Whitman

This small but mighty exploration of the secret life of plants poses such questions as: Do plants experience emotions? Do they contain a vital life force? Do they have the ability to communicate with beings from outer space? John Whitman cast a new line of inquiry in the 1970s through study of the behaviour of household and hallucinogenic plants, with surprising results and fantastical revelations.
