I’ve started reading a book that my step grandpa gave me years ago. It’s a book about herbs written in the 70s by Sybil Leek, a witch. He said he met Sybil once and that she’s “one of the few good witches out there,” which is a little bizarre to hear from a god-fearing conservative man…. He also insinuated that I’d like it purely for that reason, but I’d never dared to tell him about my interests in that area (because he was a god-fearing conservative).
I read a chapter every night before I go to sleep and now I have silly dreams about herbs every night :’) I dreamt last night that my herbalist friend had flowers growing out of her head and that water lilies could talk. Super normal
#there are some funny lines in this book that are only funny living in 2024#like her wistfully wondering when herbs from The People’s Republic of China would be imported to the US#and also listing off sedative herbs that are poisonous and addictive like ‘poppies and cannabis indica’#you are not immune to propaganda etc etc#it’s refreshing to read an herbal/witchcraft book that isn’t entirely trying to tell me to stop going to a doctor and use essential oils#she straight up said to maybe not self-medicate with foxglove. so that’s nice#considering the sheer stupidity that’s pervading new age and witch communities I’m honestly a little relieved lmao
