Culpeper's Complete Astrology | Free Book
The Lost Art of Astrological Medicine
Delve into the astrological herbalism of Nicholas Culpeper, the
17th-century physician, herbalist, and astrologer whose writing about
health and herbs made a mark on medicine that resonates to the present
day. His astute eye, keen wit, and encyclopedic knowledge led him to
create his definitive English Physitian, more commonly known today as
Culpeper's Complete Herbal. Planetary influences were key to his
understanding of herbal medicine. In his philosophy, each plant is
governed by a planet, and the time at which a person takes to their
sickbed is significant to their diagnosis and healing. His Semeiotica
uranica, or, An astrological judgment of diseases from the decumbiture
of the sick was a seminal early work of medical astrology and is
published here as a historical document of great fascination to
astrologers as well as to historians of herbalism and medicine. This
edition includes modernized English spelling and expert guidance on
how to decipher the work and consider Culpeper's influence in modern
context.Also included are a foreword by Alice Sparkly Kat, author of
Postcolonial Astrology, and an introduction by Judith Hill, author of
Medical Astrology.
