The Plant Healer’s Path is the first of two volumes by Jesse Wolf Hardin, cofounder of Plant Healer Magazine, with enchanting tales, medicinal plant profiles and favorite herbal recipes by Kiva Rose, as well as contributions by David Hoffman, Phyllis Light, Paul Bergner and more. Hardin tackles topics vital to an effective, empowered herbal practice, including many never addressed before, with suggestions for taking control of and enjoying our lives, and tips that can benefit herbalists and non-herbalists alike. Paul Bergner says“Whether just beginning or already walking the path, The Plant Healer’s Path provides a panoramic road map of the terrain – both internal and external – for any person called to healing with plants... with thought-provoking essays on the issues most important to our work,” and Phyllis Light writes that this book “does more than provide a working model of herbal practice, it also addresses our hopes, our fears and concerns as herbalists, acknowledging the differences, the uniqueness that each brings to their art, craft and science. What more could we ask for?”

Historian Author Jesse Hardin gives us a detailed look at the complex lives of 11 of the most fascinating Sheriffs and Marshals of the historic American West – the good, the bad, and the conflicted. Find a spot by the fire, for a lyrical journey into lesser known history, unmasking the popular hero Wyatt Earp as the con-artist and pimp he really was, demonstrably courageous but a total scoundrel... and by singing the praises of the truly honorable and heroic “men behind the badge” whose deeds so often go unsung: Elfego Baca, Wyatt Earp, Harry Morse, Bucky O’Neill, John Joshua Webb, Wild Bill Hickok, Pat Garrett, Burton Mossman, George Scarborough, Bat Masterson, and Bear River Tom Smith Books and movies have long painted the West in a certain way, with a black and white version of history, wholly good guys versus the purely evil. Only trouble is, “it didn’t happen thataway, hoss!” From Hardin’s Preface: “Lawmen, even the most amazingly brave of them, embody a mix of compassion and prejudice, generosity and avarice. None are the complete good guy heroes that we once read comic books about or idolized on the silver screen. Nor were even the worst of them likely to be totally bad as some revisionists insist. Like all humans, they sometimes did things they shouldn’t have, while other times gambling with their safety in order to save a stranger’s life. It’s only once we cease the lionizing and demonizing – the cynical sniping and blind worshipping – that we can look again at these fascinating personas from the 19th and 20th Centuries for the incredibly complex individuals they were, people with common human traits and troubles doing extraordinary and occasionally incredible things with an undeniable intensity of character.” This realistic approach doesn’t rob us of heroes, what it does is help show us whose actions were truly admirable, and helps us define for ourselves the standards of just action and a life worthy of emulation. Hardin’s stories not only take us back to the days of old but give us thought about how we live our own lives, and the future we want to create and protect. As he writes: “I hope that it serves to not only inform you about times and deeds past, but also to inspire you in the now – kickstarting your imagination and putting your ideas to the test, getting you up and off of your chairs and outside where you can act out your own valued missions, and attempt the heroic. And maybe affirming your decision to keep an old shotgun in the closet or under the bed, since opposing injustice and doing good is the job of every citizen even in a land with a zillion rules and laws... whether we work in law enforcement or take pride in being social outlaws. ” “Hardin’s ability to draw the reader's mind into deeper contemplation is one of the hallmarks of a great historical work.” –Boge Quinn, GunBlast.com Hardin finds that both the best and worst of the old time lawmen had something in common: they were all darn interesting – determined, risking their lives for one thing or another, living the great adventure. “It is not the timid, the self-doubting and retiring whose experiences and efforts will be remembered,” Hardin concludes. “It is the living of interesting, passion filled, highly driven lives that makes the tales of these eleven lawmen so memorable, and is that which can make our own lived stories worth retelling.” “Hardin has a fascinating style.... almost lyrical. His perspective on the Old West is both romantic and dramatic” –Ned Schwing, Gun Digest Books “Read the truth about these 11 Old West lawmen and enjoy real history!” –John Taffin

Gaia Eros is a collection of essays and instructions for anyone interested in finding a way to reconnect to Gaia, the living Earth. 
 Somewhere as you read this, a Pagan-affinity group is hard at work preparing the next Beltane ritual in their area. A circle of bearded priests is gathered to revitalize the nearly lost sensibilities of ancient Druidry. And a man contacts his soul and planet more deeply through his artful preparation of wild foods and a woodstove-baked pie. 
 In an age of accelerating distraction and destruction, each of these individuals is a hero. They are among the growing number of people who feel both the suffering and joy of the world in every cell of their being. They are the seekers experiencing the world through their reawakened primal instincts, through their caring hearts, through every inch of skin. And each draws insight and instruction from their relationship with the living, inspirited Earth.

Presenting to you Herbal Allies &amp; Plant Profiles, the second in Plant Healer’s materia medica series. Each chosen chapter is excerpted directly from past issues of Plant Healer Quarterly, and are written by its diverse columnists and the inspired teachers of Plant Healer events.There is much knowledge instrumental to being an herbalist or even simply tending your own family’s health using natural medicines, but none is more essential than deepening familiarity with the various herbs themselves. This includes knowing how to positively identify them in the wilds, in the garden, and in the plant matter we purchase, a skill that often depends upon taste and smell as well as visual examination…. as well as understanding their active components, energetics, actions, applications and contraindications. The authors of Herbal Allies &amp; Plant Profiles take a considered look, finding new or less common conditions that specific herbs seem to address, referencing the latest research as well as their own personal experiences administering preparations and recording the results. Not all ways of taking an herb are as effective as we’d like. You will learn in these pages when it is optimal to use the various methods, such as teas, foods, tinctures, infusion, decoctions, steams, oils and balms.Included also, are some loving looks at herbs’ folklore, history, habitat and preservation. And as the book’s Foreword by Kiva Rose Hardin so well evokes, it is ultimately an herb’s experienced significance, mysteries and secrets, that draw us closer to the plant, to ourselves, and to our healing missions. It is the intent of the authors of Herbal Allies &amp; Plant Profiles that their work and words help bring you just that….

This book is a true jewel to be treasured for, who knows, perhaps generations? Though I have read many interviews with various people over time, these were so thoughtfully and thoroughly done.
