Böcker av E. A. Wallis Budge

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 of mankind but by creating the sustaining herbs out of their own bodies. This book deals with the old gods as herbalists and their divine medicine.
