"Witchcraft Medicine - The re-discovery of a banned medicine - shamanic traditions in Europe"
is also the title of a very interesting book, written by art historian, anthropologist and literary critic Dr. phil. Claudia Müller-Eberling, the
phil "shamans from the Allgäu", a cultural anthropologist, ethnobotanist and author Dr. phil. Storl Wolf-Dieter, and the
ethnopharmacologist, anthropologist, folklorist and author Dr.. Christian Rätsch,
With starting this book, we want to pursue the question of what is witchcraft medicine, what are witches, and what they actually do.
Certainly this question can not be answered generally, but we want to try a rough definition.
"This book opens the door to the repressed, oppressed Knowledge of witchcraft and medicine as the ways in which the sacred plants of our ancestors can be used again.
This book offers an amazing access to a fascinating area of our culture and history of medicine: the healing arts of witches, the forbidden, ostracized, oppressed by the state and church "alternative" medicine.
The authors take us on an exploratory journey that the origin of the healing arts, through the ancient mythology to the church officially confirmed healer of mankind, and from there to the embodiment of sensuality and finally to the poisoner and healer out.
Witchcraft Medicine is wild medicine, it is unkontollierbar and defies the ruling order. It's scary, because it decides on life and death.
Witchcraft Medicine is a cult-worship of sacred shamanic healing, that is efficient plants.
makes you more than just healthy: it brings pleasure and knowledge, rapture and mystical insight "
If the Cover Text, which shows us a little bit the way..
witches have to do that is to do with healing, and medicinal plants.
The term "medicine woman" is no accident, but it is witches or medicine?
Wolf Dieter Storl writes in the introduction:
" Witchcraft Medicine is medicine Erde.Es is the oldest of human medicine, the medicine of the few remaining primitive peoples. It is the primal knowledge, the true religions, the Urerinnerung, the legacy of our Stone Age ancestors, carried on in constantly changing form, through the Neolithic peasantry passed through the Bronze Age, Iron Age to the miracle of faith Christian Middle Ages.
The Inquisition tried to destroy the old knowledge. But neither torture nor the stake nor the clear-cutting of the so-called rational enlightenment, not the straitjacket of a soulless reductionist positivist science can this medicine permanent damage inflict. Because she lives not only of rotten dusty traditions, it is fed from the clear source of clairvoyance, from the direct inspiration of the Devas, from the promptings of the spirits of plants, animals, stones, stars and elements.
goes when it comes to witches medical knowledge about the healing powers of our inner and outer nature. It is more than just a factual knowledge of medicinal plants, poisonous plants, psychedelic or gynecological agent. It's about the ability spilled, with the animal and plant spirits, talking and friendship with them goes to the ecstasy schließen.Es ability that this communion with the creatures possible. "
And here, we come to the shamanic aspect of witchcraft in more detail.
Many a reader may have wondered, what Witches medicine has got to do well with shamanism.
As in shamanism and and we are talking about the worldwide phenomenon of shamanic practices and cults, and not just the Siberian shamanism, from which the name or shaman shamanism is, it is also in the witch to ecstasy, trance to a different Bewußtseinnszustand, the Magician , witches, use medicine men, shamans, healers and wise women to seek healing for themselves and others.
further writes Dr. Wolf Dieter Storl.
cause " to cure the damage ... occult negative energy, called the witch doctor, the shaman, the shaman its allies are the plants, rocks, animals, water, fire that they have a deep Erde.Auch dimension in them embody spiritual beings, angels and devas. They can talk to you. you can reply. Witches medicine knows about the vitality of being, for the souls and spirits of all Geschöpfe.Sie is magic , and therefore insecure are those whose soul is dead and paralyzed, blinded their spiritual eyes ist.Sie scares them because it is a reflection of their inability.
for bigoted inquisitors did the active force her this medicine from the devil. The guardian of ancient wisdom was to courtesan of evil gemacht.Für the poor schoolmaster of the self-proclaimed enlightenment age was the witch medicine annoying superstitions, wrong thinking that herausgedroschen from the country people musste.Für be the masters of today's ideology is it simply beyond the pale, something for schizophrenics for the mentally ill, at best, for hopeless romantics. Nevertheless, it will be the ones who can lead us out of our present ecological and spiritual crisis out, because their roots go deep and tap into the healing waters of the ancient knowledge. "
What really hopeless to Romantics be that bad?
