Healers have long recognised the need to travel to psychic realms, from heaven to Hesperides, to effect cures. Ancient medicinal manuscripts pair myth and magical incantation with instruction on how to dig up roots, make salves and concoct tinctures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHerba Mythica draws on this tradition and is a handbook for story-lovers and herbalists alike. Acclaimed storytellers from around the world choose plants that reflect their heritage or specialism, and notes on plant origins, symbolism and healing properties complement each tale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMythology suggests that every bush, every flower is a deity who mirrors the healing action of the plant: Hecate is the hypnotic Poppy, Osiris the oracular Laurel and Tara the regenerative Lotus. And in folk tales, there are Willow fathers, Hawthorn mothers and brides who marry trees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout, Sherry Robinson’s characterful drawings capture the light and shade of each plant, reminding us of their power to kill or cure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winstones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46605803192557,"sku":"9781803995724","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/files\/9781803995724.jpg?v=1740669476","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.pro\/products\/9781803995724","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
