Witchcraft Medicine: Healing Arts, Shamanic Practices, and Forbidden Plants

First purchase from this shop. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious. Solid, if not essential.

Needed this for my research. The text itself is dense but rewarding — you get out what you put in. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. My only regret is not ordering it sooner.

Finally got around to ordering this. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles. It pairs well with more modern commentaries on the same tradition. Great value for what you get.

Took a chance on this and glad I did. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared. Deserves a place on any esoteric bookshelf.

My book club chose this last month. It's become a regular reference in my practice. It connects ideas I'd only seen treated separately elsewhere. A keeper.

I keep coming back to this one. It's become a regular reference in my practice. It connects ideas I'd only seen treated separately elsewhere. Definitely recommend.

Müller-Ebeling provides a rigorous scholarly record that doubles as a practical guide, making it ideal for serious students of occult history. However, readers seeking purely speculative fiction or lighthearted gardening tips will find this text too dense and historically focused. It does not suit those uninterested in the political or religious persecution of folk medicine, nor those who prefer modern pharmaceutical solutions over traditional herbalism. The book’s emphasis on the demonized power of witchcraft may feel heavy to some, but its value lies in its candid examination of how state-sanctioned medicine overshadowed natural remedies.
