Matthew Wood „In actual experience we go back and forth from one step to the other. That is why I call these the 7 guideposts (1. Lil-longiflora, 2. Erio, 3. Iris, 4. Artemisia tridentata, 5. Calochortus, 6. Cimic, 7. Cypr) Spiritual life is more like a tangle of roads than a single, obvious track“

Eaglewood plays a special role in different world religions.

Mythology: Ginkgo biloba is the tree of life. First humans grew on it. And just like the leaves, they had grown together on the bottom and divided on top. Like the leaf, man and woman

formed at the same time a unity in their appearance and a duality in their nature. What changed this original condition, how the division of humans happened is not clear. Maybe it was the

fault of an incredible storm that violently shook the tree („ur-knall“) or of an overwhelming wave of happiness or of the craving for adventure in humans who were joined together in spite

of their dual gender. However, by the end of that night all creatures who had been shaken down or had jumped off the tree found themselves as man and woman on earth. Their bodily connection was torn apart.

They became two. And now they have to find themselves all over again… Humans carried on, on this increasingly populated earth, with love and hate, with union and separation, just like man and woman up to this day

carry on out of lack of a better way, to restore the fact or the appearance of the former union. The Ginkgo biloba though stretched his bare branch-arms accusingly towards the heavens above.

And God had mercy on its loneliness, which would have signified death for the tree of life. In place of humans He let leaves emerge from its branches, which eternally symbolize the original condition of humankind,

because they form a living duality – united on the bottom and separated on top -: the terrestrial image of the divine trinity".
