Traditional herbalists or wise women were not only good botanists
or pharmacologists; they were also shamanic practitioners and
keepers of occult knowledge about the powerful properties of
plants. Traveling back to the healing arts of the ancient
Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, "The Herbal Lore of Wise Women" "and
Wortcunners "takes readers deep into this world, through the
leechcraft of heathen society and witches' herb bundles to the
cloister gardens of the Middle Ages. It also examines herbal
medicine today in the traditional Chinese apothecary, the Indian
ayurvedic system, homeopathy, and Native American medicine.
Balancing the mystical with the practical, author Wolf Storl
explains how to become an herbalist, from collecting material to
distilling and administering medicines. He includes authoritative
advice on herb gardening, as well as a holistic inventory of plants
used for purposes both benign and malign, from herbs for cooking,
healing, beauty, and body care to psychedelic plants, witches'
salves for opening alternative realities, and poisonous herbs that
can induce madness or cause death. Storl also describes traditional
"women's plants" and their uses: dyeing cloth, spinning and
weaving, or whipping up love potions. "The Herbal Lore of Wise
Women and Wortcunners "is written for professional and amateur
herbalists as well as gardeners, urban homesteaders, and
plantspeople interested in these rich ancient traditions.
