Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fine work is a compilation of flower related lore that spans from antiquity to then-modern times and dozens of cultures and species. The symbolism of some flowers in spiritual and religious paths is well noted, but here it is illustrated further by both poetry and prose.Fairly deep in its content, "Flower Lore and Legend" is helpful in that it additionally provides a fairly detailed series of references to each species (especially the rose, lily, sunflower, and clover) in their use in legend and recorded, accepted history alike. Highly useful to the occultist, the botany buff, and the historian alike.

Download or read book Myths and Legends of Flowers Trees Fruits and Plants written by Charles M. Skinner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Myths and Legends of Flowers, Trees, Fruits, and Plants: In All Ages and in All Climes The very religions of all lands have fruits and trees in their cosmogonies, and plant-lore opens a quaint human document in its disclosure of that self-complacency which assumed the earth to be a strictly human property, in which all was for the service of man, and nothing existed of its own right. Out of this notion came the doctrine of signa tures - a system for discovering the medicinal uses of a plant from something in its external appearance that re sembled the disease it would cure. For instance, the leaves of aspen shook, hence it must be good for shaking palsy; gromwell had a stony seed, so it was prescribed for gravel; saxifrage grew in cracks in the rocks, therefore it would crack the deposits known as stone in the bladder; knots of scrophularia were prescribed for scrofulous swell ings, the pappus of scabiosa for leprosy, the spotted leaves of pulmonaria for consumption (notice how these beliefs and uses have named certain species), nettle tea was for nettle rash, blood-root for dysentery, turmeric for jaundice, because it was the color of a jaundiced skin; wood sorrel, having a heart-shaped leaf, was a cordial, or heart restora tive; liverwort corrected an inactive liver; dracontium, or herb dragon, was a cure for snake poison; briony cured dropsy, because its root suggested a swollen foot.

Women Healers of the World shares with readers an extraordinary variety of healing plants from around the world that have inspired today’s “alternative” medicine, as well as the stories, challenges, and triumphs of remarkable women healers from past and present—all of whom promote the use of medicinal herbs. Through this book, herbalist and author Holly Bellebuono aims to educate readers about sixteen plant-based world healing traditions and thirty women who have practiced them. Bellebuono also explores the geography, history, and medical heritage of twenty countries where these traditions originated. With thorough knowledge of the uses and effects of these healing traditions, readers can then move on to featured recipes for herbal remedies they can make in their home kitchens. Following Bellebuono’s instructions, readers will produce remedies such as soothing lip balms, wound pastes, face masks, arthritis oils, relaxing bath salts, and revitalizing teas.
