Divine Origin of the Craft of the Herbalist

The Divine Origin of the Craft of the Herbalist is a book written by E. A. Wallis Budge. The book explores the history and origins of herbalism as a craft and its connection to ancient Egyptian religion and mythology. Budge argues that the use of herbs for medicinal purposes has been a part of human history since the earliest civilizations, and that the ancient Egyptians were particularly skilled in the use of herbs for healing.The book delves into the various herbs used by the ancient Egyptians, their medicinal properties, and the rituals and incantations used to invoke their healing powers. Budge also examines the role of the herbalist in ancient Egyptian society, and how they were revered as healers and respected members of the community.Throughout the book, Budge draws on ancient Egyptian texts and mythology to support his arguments about the divine origins of herbalism. He also includes illustrations and diagrams to help readers better understand the various herbs and their uses.Overall, The Divine Origin of the Craft of the Herbalist provides a fascinating look at the history and spiritual significance of herbalism, and its enduring importance in human health and wellbeing.This remarkable book traces the history of herbs far back into antiquity, and shows that the gods themselves were believed to be the original healers, not only by revealing the knowledge of their healing properties to mankind but by creating the sustaining herbs out of their own bodies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
