herbalism

i LOVE this collage, it perfectly represents the idea from the reality and how everyones perceptions are different! i'd been in florida for a couple of years and a group of us were driving back from a healing group and i said did y'all see the ad in horizons (a great magazine available online! www.horizonsmagazine.com/ ) about the herbalism course and they all said yeah i wanna take that. so there were 5 of us who signed up as a group. it just felt right.
well imagine my surprise like soooo many things when i started taking this 30 hour certification course. to me an herbalist was the magical mysterious person who know how to use plants in these metaphysical  airy fairy kinda ways...............lmao of course the reality is an herbalist uses plants to help balance or heal themselves and others. i figured out real quick i was taking a refresher course in the home remedies i grew up seeing my grandmothers use. so much for my high falluten notions!
