It does more than make one healthy, it creates lust and knowledge, ecstasy and mythological insight. In \u003ci\u003eWitchcraft Medicine\u003c\/i\u003e the authors take the reader on a journey that examines the women who mix the potions and become the healers; the legacy of Hecate; the demonization of nature's healing powers and sensuousness; the sorceress as shaman; and the plants associated with witches and devils. They explore important seasonal festivals and the plants associated with them, such as wolf's claw and calendula as herbs of the solstice and alder as an herb of the time of the dead--Samhain or Halloween. They also look at the history of forbidden medicine from the Inquisition to current drug laws, with an eye toward how the sacred plants of our forebears can be used once again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Inner Traditions International\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780892819713\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.96h x 8.02w x 0.66d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/27\/2003 pg. 66\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2004 pg. 71\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Claudia M\u0026#252;ller-Ebeling, Christian R\u0026#228;tsch, Wolf-Dieter Storl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36645758664860,"sku":"9780892819713","price":21.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_426308d5-a7cb-49d4-898d-ddd1a7be205c.jpg?v=1603862024","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/witchcraft-medicine-healing-arts-shamanic-practices-and-forbidden-plants-9780892819713","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
