The Magical and Ritual Use of Herbs

The Magical and Ritual Use of Herbs by  Richard Alan Miller 
Destiny Books | English | ISBN 0892814012 | 128 pages | PDF | 6,9 MB | 1983

Category: Chemistry, Botanics, Medicine, Reference, Psycho Active Herbs
This fascinating book investigates the habitat, cultivation, historical use, chemical structure and benefits of nineteen psycho-active herbs. These plants are discussed by chapter in the following categories: Stimulants (including Damiana, Passionflower and Guarana), Depressants (including Lobelia, Skullcap and Valerian), Narcotics (Wild Lettuce and Wormwood), Hallucinogens (including Kava Kava, Yohimbe, Amanita Muscaria, Morning Glory Seed and Psilocybe Mushroom). 

 Their preparation, ritual use, primary effects and potential hazards are described in detail (ISBN-13: 9780892814015). Some of the benefits that may be derived from the wise use of these plants include stress relief (Kava Kava and Valerian Root), increased energy (Guarana), restful sleep and cleansing (Wormwood) and spiritual development (Fly Agaric, Psilocybe). The author writes with great authority, effortlessly blending scientific and esoteric knowledge. I enjoyed his no-nonsense factual approach. The book includes a Quick Reference Chart, a Bibliography and a Chemistry, Botanics/Organic and General Index, making it a valuable reference work in addition to a fascinating read.
