Astrology - Herbalism - Natura Sophia
Nearly 100 years of herbal and astrological wisdom.
This class places the subject within its historical milieu but then quickly moves on to the discussion of practical herbal lore related to astrology, gemstones, and metals of the seven planets, planting, making, and administering remedies by the stars, surgical dates, concluding with a discussion of chart reading.
Matt and Judith discuss and share the scope of the series, their backgrounds in the topic, a few stories, and how we make the connection between Astrology and Herbalism. Ancient identification of stars with plants, animals, people, and gemstones. Star lore and wisdom. In Native American teaching, Star Woman descended to Eldest Turtle, bringing the stars or archetypes of creation to the earth. In European teachings, it is Sophia or Wisdom who embraces star lore, plant lore, and earth lore. This “ Wisdom of Nature” or Natura Sophia culminated in the Renaissance, the “golden age” of astrological herbalism.”
