EARTH RELIGIONS / HERBAL MEDICINES For the ancient Druids, the
healing and magical properties of herbs were inseparable from the
larger cycles of the seasons, the movements of the planets, and the
progression of a human life. A Druid's Herbal shows the reader how
to use herbs when creating rituals to celebrate festivals and
significant life passages such as births, house blessings,
weddings, funerals, and naming ceremonies. Drawing on extensive
research and a deep personal experience with Pagan traditions,
Ellen Evert Hopman explores the history and folklore surrounding
the eight major Celtic festivals: Samhain, Winter Solstice, Imbolc,
Spring Equinox, Beltaine, Summer Solstice, Lugnasad, and Fall
Equinox. Included in each discussion are complete instructions on
the medicinal and magical uses of the herbs associated with each
celebration. Using these Celtic traditions as examples, the author
suggests ways to incorporate the symbolic and magical power of
herbs into personal rituals that honor all phases of life from
childbirth to last rites. Also included are chapters on how to
prepare herbal tinctures, salves, and poultices; herbs used by the
Druids; herbal alchemy and the planets; and the relationships
between herbs and sacred places. Filled with practical information
and imaginative suggestions for using herbs for healing, ceremony,
and magic, this book is an indispensable and comprehensive guide to
age-old herbal practices. A master herbalist, psychotherapist, and
lay homeopath, Ellen Hopman is the author of Tree Medicine, Tree
Magic and the video Gifts of the Healing Earth, and co-author of
People of the Earth: The New Pagans.
