Présentation de l'éditeur

This book combines the expertise of Wiccan and magickal herbalism with aromatherapy, natural medicine, and organic gardening. It is a dance, illustrating the art of working with herbs as a way of striving for balance, and it is a catalyst for creating harmony in your life. Wicca is a religion that asks you to take responsibility for making your connection to Spirit. No one book or person can spell out which essence of an herb is the only one for you to use, because no one can be an intermediate between you and Spirit. You must practice by doing magick. Magick cannot be defined in terms of the mental, linear, or word form. Strengthen, tone, and trust your intuition, and you will find magick all around you.

Mon avis

J'a-do-re ce livre! Déjà il est génial à manipuler, la reliure est souple et les pages recyclées. Il est richement illustré d'images qu'on dirait venues du moyen-âge (et peut-être le sont-elles!) mais sans en faire trop non plus. J'adore les recettes de cuisine et de cosmétiques, les rituels, les méditations, les encens, les huiles proposées pour chaque plantes. J'adore la courte explication des domaines d'action de chaque plantes. J'adore le fait que guérison et magie s'entremêlent. J'adore ce livre :)
