  2. Japanese Ritual: Shrine

  3. ShimenawaA traditional rope made of twisted straw that is often hung between the uprights of a Torii. Straws, and paper or cloth streamers hang from the Shimenawa.

  4. TemizuyaJapanese believe that it is wrong to go near the Kami in a state of impurity, so every shrine includes a temizuya or chōzuya (a place for purification with a water trough and ladles for washing hands and face) near the entrance.

  5. KomainuThese entrances may be guarded by paired statues of dogs or lions, called Komainu. Their role is to keep away evil spirits.

  6. Bodhi tree

  7. Aboriginal Memorial ArtworksThe Aboriginal Memorial project has 200 hollow log coffins: one for each year of European settlement, representing a forest of souls, a war cemetery and the final rites for all indigenous Australians who have been denied a proper burial.

  8. Trees and Forests as MemorialsThe National Memorial Arboretum

  9. The Healing Properties of PlantsThe British Library in London owns an ancient ‘leech book’ (a medical reference book) with herb recipes to prevent diseases. It is thought to have belonged to a Worcester physician called Bald, who probably lived in the 800s CE. The image on the left is a blackberry bush from the leech book and on the right is a book written in 1633 called The Herball or Generall Historie of Plants.

  10. The Secret Garden “If gardens and fresh air had been good for her, maybe they would be good for Colin.” pg 123. “The chief thing to be remembered, she had told him, was that Colin was getting well – getting well. The garden was doing it. No one must remember about him having humps and dying” pg 184. “Colin leaned on Dickon's arm and privately Ben Weatherstaff kept a sharp lookout, but now and then Colin took his hand from its support and walked a few steps alone. His head was held up all the time and he looked very grand. “The Magic is in me!” he kept saying. “The Magic is making me strong! I can feel it! I can feel it!” It seemed very certain that something was upholding and uplifting him.” pg 197.
