🌿 Join us at the VGS Virtual Event (July 16-18 🌿 Join us at the VGS Virtual Event (July 16-18 2021) with featured guest speaker Jesse Hathaway-Diaz as he takes us on a walk through The Garden of Death: The Herbal Lore of la Santisima Muerte. 🌿 Within the traditions surrounding the Mexican Folk Saint, La Santísima Muerte, certain herbs have become increasingly associated with her worship and medicines made under her patronage.  🌿 The cult of the Holiest Death reflects Mexico herself, rooted in indigenous concepts and practices, and mixed with and dressed with colonial Spanish overlays of culture and religion, now mitigated by globalism and modern trends and personal innovation.  🌿 As such we must ask the question: what makes an herb “of la Santa”? Her herbs are an extension of larger traditions of herbalism and magical theory spanning the oceans of colonialism and time, brought into relevance through historicity, nostalgia, inspiration, and magical politics. 🌿 What then can these herbs teach us of the saint, and what in their use might put them specifically under the gaze of her hollow eyes?  🌿 This lecture will seek to explore not only herbs held sacred by her followers, but explore the use of psychotropics and intoxicants in Mexican history and their contemporary use within the cult, and to give a broader contextualized understanding of what may grow in the Garden of Death. 🌿 To find out more about Jesse Hathaway-Diaz and the VGS Virtual Event visit https://www.viridisgenii.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - #viridisgenii #viridisgeniisymposium #virtualvgs #vgs #magicalherbalism #esotericherbalism #herbalmagick #darknessoftheninthhour #jessehathawaydiaz #herballore #santamuerta  #lasantisimamuerte #mexicanfolksaint #folksaint #folkherbalism #gardenofdeath # #ethnobotanyofmagic #herbalism #ethnobotany #viridisgeniisymposium #herbal

Repost from @rosariumblends NEW BOOK IN STOCK! OCC Repost from @rosariumblends NEW BOOK IN STOCK! OCCULT BOTANY by Paul Sédir, published by @inner_traditions @trollcunningforge and I were asked to review this book. Here is what I had to say about it... "A refreshing look at the treatises of occult herbalism. A fascinating, in-depth deep dive and understandable approach to the esoteric arts as they pertain to plant, animal, and mineral medicines with an emphasis on occult botany and the Hermetic arts, including lab alchemy. A one-of-a-kind, expansive dictionary of magical plants with special care given to the translation and annotations in the footnotes to further illustrate the understanding of these plants then and now. A must-have for any seeker of esoteric herbalism.”  +++++++++++++++++ A classic text on esoteric traditional herbalism from one of the most influential herbalists of the Paris occult revival. Merging the scientific discipline of botany with ancient, medieval, and Renaissance traditions of occult herbalism, this seminal guide first published in French in 1902 includes a dictionary of nearly 300 magical plants with descriptions of each plant’s scientific name, common names, elemental qualities, ruling planets, and zodiacal signatures, with commentary on medico-magical properties and uses. • Includes a dictionary of nearly 300 magical plants with descriptions of each plant’s scientific name, common names, elemental qualities, ruling planets, and zodiacal signatures, with commentary on medico-magical properties and uses.
