Fun fact

Beyerl excels in bridging scholarly research with practical magick, offering a rare depth of authentic folklore that many modern texts lack. It is an essential reference for serious practitioners valuing historical accuracy. However, those seeking quick, easy-to-use recipes or scientific botanical data will be disappointed. It sits firmly in the tradition of rigorous hermetic and folkloric studies, demanding respect for the material's cultural weight.

📝 Description: A Compendium of Herbal Magick

Every plant has its own distinct spiritual energy or its own deva. Devas are the radiant light of the Universal Divine that permeates all things. Since the earliest times, people were aware that all of Nature is divine. Great and wondrous myths were told that explained the presence of divine energy as it exists in thunder, in trees, and in sunlight. Some of this lore was the foundation of religions. But the simpler stories, such as those of a plant's energy, explored day-to-day matters like health and love. This understanding of the world has been preserved in folklore through poems, chants, ditties, and spells. From researching the history of folklore from cultures around the world, patterns emerge that enable us to approach the true nature of plants' devas. This compendium presents the lore and the corresponding usage for 330 magickal herbes. Great care was taken only to include folklore that was documented as authentic. You will meet many new herbes in this text and explore fascinating magickal and religi uses, but most of all, you will come to respect the divine that surrounds your everyday life.

Very good

This edition finally does the material justice. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. The font runs small in the appendices. Solid, if not essential.

My third book from this store and this one might be the best. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. If you're drawn to this subject, don't hesitate.

Not for beginners

I collect works on this subject and this is a worthy addition. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. Happy enough with the purchase.
