Journeying With Herbs

Being an Herbal Person

What does it mean to be an herbal person? Does it mean the same as being a person who uses
herbs? I don’t believe the two phrases are the same. Being someone who uses herbs means
just that, a person who may drink ginger tea for an upset stomach, mint or Tulsi to calm
themselves or thyme for congestion. That’s just a person that is in possession of good sense. To
be an herbal person means to have respect, admiration and love for the natural world, plants
particularly and herbs specifically. When you see a Dandelion burst through the ground on a
Spring Day do you stare in awe of its yellow headed rapture? Do you consider wild raspberries
a gift from the Goddess? In the Autumn does your house smell of drying mint from the rafters to
the basement, If so, you are well on your way to being an herbal person. Does a seed catalog
make you squeal with delight. Do you line up early waiting for plant nurseries to open? Do
meadows full of herbs bring you such delight you are speechless? My friend, you may be an
herbal person!
