“Receptions of Simon Magus as an Archetype of the Heretic” by Alberto Ferreiro and Ephraim Nissan

Magick Matters

🕵️🐷🕵️ zero-day🕵️🐷🕵️ "This book about receptions of Simon Magus uncovers further facets of one who was held to be the evil archetype of heretics.

Magick Matters

"Traditional herbalists or wise women were not only good botanists or pharmacologists; they were also shamanic practitioners and keepers of occult knowledge about the powerful properties of plants. Traveling back to the healing arts of the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, The Herbal Lore of Wise Women and Wortcunners takes readers deep into this world, through the leechcraft of heathen society and witches’ herb bundles to the cloister gardens of the Middle Ages.
