Herbology: Study of herbs
Herbalism: As a way of life, a religion practiced by our ancient ancestors in
Herbalism
is a way of life, based on obeying the laws of nature which are the Laws of the
Most High, God. Once you obey the
Laws of Nature, you will be in tune with the harmony of life, a part of the
equilibrium and alignment factor which puts us on the path to oneness with our
creator, God.
Ancient
Africans use the healing spirits of herbs to heal one’s spirit, mind and body.
Just by being physically in the presence of plants or trees, you can be
healed. All living things have a
spiritual aspect to it, but plants and mankind have a special relationship, a
magnetism or synergy which is only possible because our physical body is plant
based and the spirit is universal. So
the medicinal properties of plants are transmitted spiritually to man.
This has been proven by the practices of Africans and indigenous people
in North and
There
is another natural phenomenon we should examine, our relationship with the sun,
the moon and the entire solar system. The
sun is our center of life in this world and the center of other planets in the
system. It radiates light, heat and
electromagnetic energy to mankind, plants and animals.
Without the sun, nothing can stay alive on earth.
The moon is a partner of the sun, representing male and female, positive
and negative poles, the fire and water source of life, etc. These energies are
radiated to Earth, hence to man, by way of the plants and water to mankind.
This is the form the Most High chooses to manifest to the physical senses
of mankind. Everything we use to
sustain ourselves comes directly or indirectly from the sun.
Check this out: the sun makes plants grow, bear fruits; its rays
strengthen and rejuvenate us; supply us physical foods, fruits, vegetables,
grains and tubers, which are all condensed sunlight. So all of this points to
the reason our African ancestors paid homage to the sun, giver of all light and
life (fire) and the moon, the nurturer of life through water. Notice the
relationship between the moon and the growing of food crops, etc. The moon
regulates the tides, plant growth, interactions with the earth and so on.
Therefore,
our ancestors long ago, identified and recognized these relationships with fire,
water, air and earth. That these elements keep the world alive and are present
in mankind has been transmitted from creation to this day through plants. So if one
practices herbalism, obey the laws of nature by not polluting the body with
toxins or abusing the mind with evil thoughts, we can put the body back in
perfect alignment which is Oneness with the Most High.
Peace
and Blessing in the Name of the Most High
