Occult Botany (Hardcover)
Occult Botany: Sédir's Concise Guide to Medicinal Plants
An impressive, classic text on esoteric traditional herbalism from one of the most influential herbalists to have ever lived.
Translated from the original French by R. Bailey
Merging the scientific discipline of botany with ancient, medieval, and Renaissance traditions of occult herbalism, this seminal guide was first published in French in 1902 as a textbook for students of Papus’s École hermétique and sparked a revival in the study of magical herbalism in early twentieth-century France.
