Herb Spirit Teachers

You might notice that I have a picture of Angelica archangelica at the top of my blog. It is one of my favorite herbs, as you can read in my post about it. It is also a bear medicine, so it goes along with my persona of "Mother Bear."
There is a legend that long ago, in Europe during the time of the Great Plague, an Angel appeared to a monk in a dream and told him that Angelica would cure the Plague. That is where it gets its name, or so they say. I don't know if it actually did cure the plague or not, but I do know that plant spirits teach in mysterious ways, and it is best to pay attention when they speak.
