Green Witchcraft; one of the better Craft books
As an author of Craft books myself, I found Green Witchcraft to be a nice change from the standard fare out there. While I don't agree with everything in the book, Ann Moura has managed to present a very interesting and eclectic look at the Craft, and that is most welcome. She casts off the notion that Wiccan tradition need be dogmatic, and opens up the concept of Witchcraft for those who, like me, prefer a less-dogmatic approach.
i use this one as an herbal guide... i like it alot. i think that you will, too. an excellant book for those of us who want to use herbs in a non-lethal way.
Absolutely Great!
I love herbs! All too often humans have turned to artificial means to keep the self happy. Personally, I think this fear of using natural means of healing stems from a fear of the earth and its associations of powers with the "devil." We've forgotten that the Earth is here to heal us too, a gift from God (or Goddess) to take care of us as we take care of the earth. The use of artificial chemicals to keep ourselves healthy has taken us away from the balance of man and nature and we are slowly destroying the greatest gift of all- our lives- through destroying the Earth. I've often wondered about the plants in my mother's ("jungle") garden. Now at the very least the useless weeds have a purpose. Bravo! I wish there was a broader advertisement regarding this book!
