Magic Plants: De Vegetabilus Magicis - Paperback

by Edmund Goldsmid (Editor), Tarl Warwick (Editor), M. Heucher (Author)

"Magic Plants" is an interesting historical look (written in 1700 no less) at past ages and the usage of herbs within a spiritual context. With references to astrology, the Aeslepion, and other concepts, it is dense and detailed with references to many antiquated medical and philosophical minds. It combines this with a short witch trial manuscript involving two herbal references, apparently to display the torment which plagued the better medical minds of past ages.
