    It only bothers me when people skip actually seeing a real doctor because of it.

    I have no problem with using God’s gifts, like herbs, to heal ourselves. I just have a hard time with the witch thing.

    Because the Bible says so. There is no other argument besides this and its argued by SEVERAL scholars that “witches” is mistranslated and understood in modern language.

    My family has healed with herbs for hundred’s of years here in the mountains of SW Virginia, they just don’t worship the planet we live on, the worship the God who created it.

  7. I’m not threatened by herbs or you. :)
    I eat them all the time. As a Christian though, I am compelled to ask the Lord’s blessing over what I ingest.

    Herbs are good for you.

    blessings :)

    Herbs have healing powers. They’ve been proven for centuries. I’m not threatened, I just realize that the herbs were created to do that without ‘magical’ help.

    The same ones who would vilify you for healing with herbs can’t live without their Prozac to get them through life. An herb or a chemical? What’s the difference?

    Homeopathic medicine is fine. It’s the words or thoughts of an individual that determines the difference between natural medicine and witchcraft. I don’t feel threatened by this.

    White witchcraft is amazing it truly is just the power of attraction using various tools and mind work. Its all good. Black witchcraft is not good at all.

    I am cool with healing herbs. I know they work. There are some amazing herbal remedies that cure a number of illnesses, but because the Drug companies and the doctors are in cahoots with each other we’ll never find our about them.

    As an example, there was a company out there that said they had a cure for Ulcerative Colitis, a disease of the Colon and one that I have. But because the drug companies, the FDA and Doctors all collaborated, the company was forced to go out of business.

    According to the FDA report “There is no evidence, either scientific or otherwise, that would yield a cure using (herbal prep-name deleted). The scientific study done by the FDA proved that it did not cure a single case of UC It did not worsen any current cases, but it did not cure any.”

    Yet there was testimonials from several individuals in the FDA study that said their UC’s were gone or made significantly better by the herbal preparation.

    First and foremost it’s not the herbs which our grand mothers used long before drug stores were invented ….Its the “WITCH “part of it….Uh lets see…God said in Deuteronomy 18:10-12 Let “NO ONE” be found among you……………….who practices, divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in “WITCHCRAFT” or cast spells, or who consults in the dead..Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord….”" Thats what settled it….Threatened by you NEVER!!! Concerned for you absolutely with a reverent FEAR of God for you… Good luck with understanding how you are perceived….

    Cross your heart that you promise not to report if I answer this question in honesty and if you break it you will befall with bad luck for seventy years. OK. Good I take it that you promise.

    With herbs, I am never abhorrent but if it is with endanger species and if I know that you are using it then I will definitely report you. This I promise.

    I have no problem with Wicca. It doesn’t impact my life and I’m happy to live with any beleif system that leaves me alone.

    But, since you ask: why do you suppose that every human disease and problem should have a solution somehow built into plants and shrubs? What force or process designed these plants to be a pharmacopoeia for human ills? What’s in it for the plant?

    If you actually look at real plant-based medicines, you’ll see that what the plants are actually doing is trying to stop animals from eating them, without scaring them off and killing them, because they’re full of nitrates and other fertilisers.

    Morphine, Salicylic acid, Digitalis, Ephedrine, Cannabinols, Psilocybin, and all of the other plant substances that operate on animal physiology all have one main effect: they crash appetite. They do so in different ways, and their effects can have medicinal use in special circumstances. But that’s not the plant being nice to people, or some divine plan. It’s self-preservation.

    As a Wiccan, and a scientist, I generally prefer to use the absolutely most refined substance possible when treating an ailment.

    This means that, were I to require digitalis, I would not take tincture of foxglove, but digitalis.

    I know how to refine digitalis from foxglove, but my mechanisms would be less effective (and more damaging to the enviroment) than the ones used in big pharma, which must use methods that are highly regulated.

    In Wicca, we are taught “the right medicine for the right ailment” and any Wiccan who’d spurn a medicine for an herb without an incredibly good reason is misrepresenting Wiccan teaching.

    In traditional herbal medicine, the tincture and the tisane are right out. If your granny made you chicken soup with onions, sage, garlic and cayenne when you had the flu, you’ve encountered herbal medicine.

    To be Honest Prophet Mohammed(pbuh) has given us many remedies for aliments that are from herbs and herbal medication. How ever I don’t think he was saying a spell or anything. I know he would glide his hand over his wives when ill reciting the Quran and heel them like this. It does not scare me to use herbal medication. Black Cumin seed is great.

    You know I find it funny that since you mentioned healing, witch and herb in the same sentence people automatically think you mean magick. I would have thought people would know that using herbs for healing had nothing to do with magick. It shows that they truly don’t understand how witches work.

    Does not annoy me. I simply do not place much confidence in the effect, were I am from “Druids” were the closest things to doctors at one point, and there is a lot of science to back up the effects of some herbs they used for specific ailments.

    My point is: In their time Druids were fine doctors, but now I believe modern medicine should be approached 1st.

    Note: I like herbs.

    personally, i admire it!! i’ve tried to learn herbal remedies and even just the basics for minor things are somewhat difficult. it’s all very complicated, the various forms one can use (tinctures, teas, oils, etc), which parts of the plants to use for what purpose, and there’s such a variety of things that will work to varying degrees in a given circumstance with different side-effects / benefits… and so many herbs have a multitude of characteristics that can be used for many ailments…
    kudos to whomever can heal with that which nature provides!
    I can only wish that i had that talent!

    They do not understand that many modern medicines came from the healing herbs first. Asperin comes to mind.
    By the way it is just thursday here in Texas. I guess we are 24 hours behind y’all.

    Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim - In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

    Healing with herbs is not abhorrent to me. Allah gave us plants and herbs and the other living things of the earth to use for our benefit. It is the fact that pagans do not appreciate Allah who created the universe and thank Him for what he has given that believers in Him find abhorrent. Why worship the creation instead of the Creator? May Allah guide you to that which is best in this world and the next. Ameen.

    Fi Aman Allah

    Herbs have a discusting taste to me, I do not take them. Me I do not feel threatend by wiccans. No no more. I have learnt better and you know that. My healing the only one I need is my stress and depression, nothing else. But I guess that takes a huge step of faith. But when I go home I will not have this stess and depression. When I leave this earth I will not carry depression with me, as there is none of that in Heaven. I cannot wait to go home, I guess you cannot balme me hey? But I will have to waint a little while yet, and be patient.

    Ariel, not everyone that uses herbs as natural medicine is a witch. My grandmother passed down to me all her knowledge on herbal use, for medicine and beauty as well- even to dye clothing and use as well in my candles.
    She was not a witch, rather had a talent that she was born with, but no one ever saw her a a witch, rather like a natural healer that is all, oh yeah… I forgot she was catholic through and through :)

    It is easy to “Poo Poo” those things that they do not understand. Many of our modern medicines began with herbal remedies and many remedies are being used by other than witches. Yet, put herbs and witch in the same sentence…..you get the ignorant pooing all over the place!

    from one wiccan to another…
