NEW BOOK!! THE TEMPER OF HERBS by world renowned A NEW BOOK!! THE TEMPER OF HERBS by world renowned Alchemist Robert Allen Bartlett ++++++++ In this landmark exploration of the qualities of elemental degree, Robert Allen Bartlett sets up ancient alchemical natural philosophy against modern lab equipment. In the span of 150 pages, he outlines the historical basis for assigning temperament to an herb, and then presents raw laboratory data, in some cases copied facsimile from his own notes, to probe how chemistry either confirms or denies the results achieved through traditional alchemical theory and medical practice. The text includes a short examination of the development of elemental theory as applied to medicine with an introduction to the four humors and humoral medicine practiced for over a thousand years, and is indeed still practiced in parts of the world. The main focus of interest is in how materials were tested in order to assign their temperament. The laboratory methods used in this study are fully explained with many graphic examples and comparisons between materials. The methods of data reduction used to arrive at a final value for a material’s intensity are also explained for each phase of the investigation. Future possibilities are discussed and include the possibility of confirming classical designations for medicinal herbs and herbal compounds as well as application towards mineral medicines of the classical materia medica.

VGS VIRTUAL Workshop: Methods of Purifying the Bo VGS VIRTUAL Workshop: Methods of Purifying the Body and Soul in Ozark Folk Healing w/ Brandon Weston. @ozarkhealingtraditions 2 HOUR INTENSIVE– space is limited to 20 participants ***Must purchase a ticket to VGS Virtual Event and add workshop to your registration for an additional fee.  🌿Working off of themes presented in the lecture, we will be looking at the three major methods of magical cleansing and purifying in Ozark traditional healing: water, fire, and purgatives. 🌿Water includes washing the body in herbal mixtures chosen for their quality to remove malign curses. 🌿Fire and smoke uses traditional Ozark fumigants like red cedar, tobacco, and asafetida to purify both the body and the environment. And with purgatives we will look at gentle purging plants like sassafras, burdock, and dandelion root, often mixed with soothing plants like horsemint or catnip. 🌿Participants will learn a simple and non-vomit inducing cleansing ritual that they can easily replicate on their own. Other methods covered by the workshop include: tying off curses with string, counting down rituals, sweeping off hexes with a broom, and more. 🌿 There is an optional workshop kit that can be purchased for $15 plus shipping which will include Ozark native plants for cleansing baths, drinks, and fumigation, as well as a detailed booklet of the recipes and rituals covered by the class. A simple pdf guide to the workshop will be provided to participants for no additional fee. 🌿 To purchase tickets to the event and add on this workshop visit https://www.viridisgenii.com/product-category/virtual-event/ - - - - - - - - - - #viridisgenii #viridisgeniisymposium #virtualvgs #vgs #magicalherbalism #esotericherbalism #herbalmagick #ozarkhealers #ozarkfolkmagic #folkmedicine #herbalism #folklore #folkmagic #brandonweston #ozarkhealingtraditions #mountainmanhealing  #ozarkfolkmagic #folkmagic #healing #witchythings #plantmagic #ozarkfolklore #ozarkfolkmedicine #plantmagic
🌿 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
