Planetary Herbs & the Doctrine of Signatures
How herbalists read the planets and God's "signatures" in plants, from the Anglo-Saxon Nine Herbs Charm to Culpeper's astrological herbal.
To the herbalists of the past, a plant was not just a bundle of chemicals. It was a living letter in the book of nature, written by God and signed by the stars. This lesson explores two great ideas that shaped magical herb lore: that plants belong to planets, and that their appearance reveals their virtues. Use the Herbarium alongside it.
