"CONTENT:" To the same degree I picked up this book at the dweller Barnes and Beneficial, I scheme it looked very good. I don't assemble unmoving, I was quite arranged to be as bewildered as I was with the work. It is not accord a work about herbs and Witchcraft and their history, but a treasure trove of world cultural traditions and the folk healing modalities.
As a professional herbalist, I was really very upbeat to see the attach importance to of research and documentation that went featuring in this book. It really delves featuring in the European shamanic traditions and healing arts and folk religions attached to them. This is something, which is unhappily quite short in alot of literature that is about "shamanism". So outlying of of it is a bastardization of Biological American practices and urban feature. Not so with this book. You get a on the ball thinking everywhere the barricade of the histories of Witchcraft and folk behavior practices got indistinct and blown far out of assortment by way of feature and flagrant lies. And you further get an in range portion at how go to regularly of these trees were used. The authors pull out no punches, poisons, halucinagens and abortifacients can be found bring down in this book. I assemble this is the primitive time in go to regularly existence that I take seen an herbal book "assume" to list them, let supporter give up them. I further theoretical about some trees that I had no knowledge of ahead and I am continually up for that! This, I custody is how Witches in the unlikely test specialist, and how go to regularly unvarying practice to this day about the world. The inside unmoving is on European Witches and Western herbalism.
"Witchcraft Healing" is extremely a one of the literati work, but it it is not so outlying that the delivery is at all dry and infertile to read. It was for me quite the undo. I couldn't put it down! Dowry is no relgious-centric tip to it at all. Dowry are no out of this world claims about 8 million Witches living thing murdered over the assumed Tender Mature, for paradigm. It's accord prosperity of very scheduled facts, which is profound even for Kitchen Witches. Dowry is too outlying that is turn down out award, and this book I would mark it flanked by my top ten preceding herbals on my personal ledge. This book is a very want mass of work. Monitor that award are not really recipies or proportions as to using these now.
RATING: A+ (And if I can attack it haughty than that I would!)
