The Herbal Alchemist's Handbook (Weiser Classics Edition)
Description
An herbal magick grimoire of philtres, elixirs, essential oils, incense, and formulas with dozens of recipes from a trusted author.
Herbs have been used for medicine, magic, and ritual for centuries. The ancient arts of herbal alchemy and herbal magick combine the healing and energizing effects of herbs (roots, leaves, flowers, resins, and essential oils) with the cycles of the natural world, the astrological movement of the stars and planets, and the cycles of the earth’s seasons.
In this easy-to-use compendium of herbs and their energy associations, master herbalist and magick practitioner Karen Harrison offers formulas anyone can use to obtain courage, creativity, lasting health, prosperity, and enhanced psychic and spiritual powers.
Harrison shows how to select herbs based on their astrological associations as well as their medicinal properties. With a materia magica of more than 150 herbs and a multitude of recipes, readers will learn how to blend incense, ceremonial oils, bath
Why We Carry It
Karen Harrison ties the herbs to the sky: planetary rulers, lunar timing, seasonal cycles, then dozens of recipes for philtres, elixirs, oils and incense. A Weiser Classic, and deservedly. Her formulas are aimed at courage, creativity, steadiness and prosperity rather than at anything medical.
