Everyday Herbs in Spiritual Life: A Guide to Many Practices

Everyday Herbs In Spiritual Life: A Guide To Many Practices by author, ecologist, educator and storyteller Michael Caduto is a practical and informative guide to incorporating herbs into a spiritual life through the use of rituals and ceremonies. Everyday Herbs In Spiritual Life provides descriptions of the herbs and their applications across many cultural traditions. Of special note is the advice on how to utilize these herbs for personal spiritual growth. For example, creating herbal art inspired by faith and the beauty of nature; crafting herbal wreaths, sachets, garlands, pillows and soaps; preparing herbal teas, infused oils and meals; making potpourri and candles infused with herbs; celebrating holidays, births, weddings and memorials with herbs; designing a simple herb garden of plants chosen from among different spiritual traditions; even how to construct spaces in which to use herbs for reflection and mediation. All this and more make Everyday Herbs In Spiritual Life an invaluable and very strongly recommended addition to personal and community library Metaphysical Studies reference collections and supplemental reading lists. * Midwest Book Review *
