Borrowed this image from the Occurences blog - thanks EditorIf you're looking for any great reading material... I can suggest two books from Stephen Buhner. I've read and loved them both. Particularly the Secret Teachings of Plants- Telling my husband it was one of the best books I've ever read- Which is saying quite a lot!- It was an unexpected delightThe Lost Language of Plants Secret Teachings Of Plants The Intelligence of the Heart in the Direct Perception of Nature
"Beautifully written The Secret Teachings of Plants is a work of art - as much a poetical journey into the essence of plants as it is a guidebook on how to use plant medicine in our healing practices. Stephen Buhner is among the plant geniuses of our time. Like Thoreau and Goethe and Luther Burbank, the master gardeners and "green men" he so liberally quotes throughout, Buhner will be long remembered for his deep and introspective connection with the green world and for his ability to connect us to the heart of the plants through his teachings."Rosemary Gladstar
And finally! I'm 100 plus pages into the book and am enjoying it, thoroughly! Absolutely not a 'rag' or gossip book- Esoteric, occult analysis of specific movies and their creators- Have a glance here I'm through Part 1: Hollywood Babylon and Kubrick.And, have just gotten into Part 2: Spielberg's Android Space Brothers When I'm done Jay's book- I'll be back to yet another Stephen Buhner bookI do gather and dry herbs. Some are grown in my yard and others are foraged.I'm a big fan of lemon balm, yarrow, bee balm, catnip ( yes, it's good for you too), peppermint, spearmint, rosemary, thyme. In my garden is Oregano, from a family member (harvested according to the moon phase & dried as my Zia did), parsley, basil and much more. Taking a break from politics :)
