Herbal Safety: Medicinal vs. Magical Herbs
Presented by Catherine Novak.
Too many times pagans and/or wiccans pick up one herbal book, most notably
Scott Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs, and then run amuck. They
ignore the different uses of herbs--in other words, they do not distinguish
between magical and medicinal uses. And then wonder why they run into
trouble. Just because herbs are "natural" doesn't mean ignoring safety
considerations. This workshop will discuss basic safety considerations
regarding the medicinal uses of herbs, as well as some of the "stupid human
tricks" with respect to magical herbs. Bring your stories to share.
