Der vierte Band der Bibliothek der Esoterik erforscht die Geschichte der Pflanzen in Mythen und magischen Praktiken. Essays, Interviews und mehr als 400 Abbildungen - von ägyptischen Reliefs über viktorianische Pflanzendarstellungen bis zu zeitgenössischen Werken - dokumentieren die symbiotische Beziehung zwischen Pflanzen und Menschen. Über die Reihe Die Bibliothek der Esoterik zeigt, wie in der Kunst über die Jahrhunderte hinweg mystische und obskure Inhalte ihren Ausdruck in zeitlosen, visionären Bilder fanden. Von Privatsammlungen, Bibliotheken und Museen aus aller Welt zur Verfügung gestellt, werden für jedes Thema ausgesuchte moderne und zeitgenössische Werke mit historischen Darstellungen konfrontiert. Kurze, aber sorgfältig recherchierte Texte vermitteln den Kontext und andere relevante Informationen. Das Ergebnis ist eine umfassende Erforschung der Bilderwelten, die Menschen schufen, um Träumen und Albträumen auf die Spur zu kommen und sich selbst in Beziehung zum Göttlichen zu setzen.
