In her foreword to Magic Medicine, renowned homeopath Nancy Herrick states that homeopathy and Shamanism are two of the most successful healing systems on the planet. For the first time, they are described side by side in this book, allowing the reader to see how trance and journey, as well as miasms and ancestors, are integral to both forms of healing, albeit more obvious in Shamanism. The author contends that the same nature spirits that respond to a shaman's call are present within homeopathic remedies, and that profound healing is possible in both traditions. The author has taken the covers off the arcane and often misunderstood aspects of homeopathy, such as potency and dilution, to reveal how these very methods imbue homeopathy with power through the creation of nanoparticles within remedies. She also reveals how homeopaths use maps to find the correct remedy for a patient and, in the process, produce healing on the deepest levels.

A short descripton of the life of Samuel Hahnemann, homeopathy's founder, and his impact on current day practices, is given. Included is a detailed description of how homeopathic remedies are made, the elements of a homeopathic consultation, and animal, plant, and mineral sources for remedies. Homeopathic concepts such as miasms and remedy proving are also covered.

This short book not only compares two powerful healing traditions but functions as a primer to explain homeopahy and its processes and potential in a clear but sophisticated way. Readers who have no experience with homeopathy as well as those well versed in its methods (including homeopaths) will find the similarities between the traditions revealing and stimulating. Readers on the shaman path will now appreciate the role of homeopaths as colleagues.

A bonus section describes how both homeopaths and shamans function in public venues to aid victims of disasters and treat those without means to afford treatment. The sources listed lead readers to many classic texts on both homeopathy and Shamanism.

Reviews for Magic Medicine: Homeopathy as Shamanism

Homeopaths have learned from shamans that all healing is deeply connected to spiritual dimensions. Thank you, Gloria, for helping all of us appreciate anew how that magic imbues our remedies and our healing work. -Roger Morrison MD People are attracted to and fascinated by the scientific side of homeopathic medicines, but there is an equally wondrous and compelling side to homeopathy that is shamanistic and magical. The science side and the shamanistic side are simply two different sides of the same coin. Gloria St. John makes a compelling case for how and why the shamanistic side of homeopathy helps to create what seems to be magical cures. Whether you are a serious student or a practitioner of homeopathy, this book will open your eyes (all three of them) to the wonder of homeopathy and real healing. -Dana Ullman, MPH, CCH, author of The Homeopathic Revolution: Why Famous People and Cultural Heroes Choose Homeopathy, founder of www.homeopathic.com As a newbie to homeopathic remedies, I am thrilled because I felt the father of homeopathy was in the room with me as I read this masterful book! Inspiring and enlivening, this book offers deep knowledge and beautiful healing for the soul. -Barbara J Semple, The Empowered Healing Mentor, author of Instant Healing - Accessing Creative Intelligence for Healing Body and Soul
