Growing up in a rural setting, David Conway came to know about healing arts that relied on a deep knowledge of herbal decoctions, tinctures and poultices. In THE MAGIC OF HERBS, he shares the knowledge of herbs he gained in his early training in the Welsh hills. Studying with a master herbalist near his boyhood home in the Welsh countryside, he absorbed the practical and occult properties of the herbs and plants found in the surrounding environment.
In this book, David presents an updated tome detailing in plain language a concise natural history and illustrated guide to the world's most beneficial plants. Also treated are the occult properties of each of the plants described. Chapters include: Botanical Medicine, Herbalism and Astrology, Doctrine of Signatures, Preparation of Herbs, Tonics and Physics, Cosmetics and Narcotics, Wines from Herbs and Flowers, Language of Flowers, Herbal Materia Medica and Index of Ailments and their Herbal Treatment.
David Conway, is a mystic, magus and author whose clear writing and thoughtful insights have influenced modern literary esoterica since the early 1970s. The seventh child of a seventh child, Conway was raised in the seaside town of Aberystwyth, Wales and its surrounding countryside. His early education in magic began at a young age through encounters with a local farmer known simply as Mr. James, who introduced him to the practical mysteries of the craft.
Conway first came to prominence with the publication of Magic: An Occult Primer, a work that continues to serve as an important introduction to the Western magical tradition.
