Karen Charboneau-Harrison has been involved with magick, the psychic arts and occultism since early childhood. Brought up in a household where these philosophies and endeavours were encouraged, she has been using herbal blends medicinally and magickally for decades. Karen obtained her Master of Herbology in 1980 from the Emerson College of Herbology, Montreal.
A thorough and remarkably usable handbook. --Lon Milo DuQuette,
author of Enochian Vision Magick-- "Reviews"
Being a well trained and experienced herbologist, the author has
created a modernday herbal grimoire by presenting valuable material
in an easy to follow format. She gathers ancient wisdom and
illustrates its use in a intelligible style convenient for the
modern practitioner. Delightful reading for the herbalist, witch
and astrologer alike. --Theitic, editor/publisher of The Witches'
Almanac-- "Reviews"
Karen Harrison's book is a boon to herbalists, alchemists, witches
and magicians alike. Based on the philosophy and teachings of
Paracelsus, it details--in every sense of the word--the use of
herbs; examining the spirit or chi of the plants, and suggests how
that special individual power might be used both mundanely and
magically. This is an eminently practical book. It is fully
annotated and offers recipes for the blending of incenses, for
ceremonial oils, philtres and more. For me, this book will have a
permanent place in my collection. It is a joy to read; a wealth of
knowledge. --Raymond Buckland, author of Buckland's Book of Gypsy
Magic-- "Reviews"
Karen Harrison's got the goods! I met Karen in the flesh in 1987,
although my company had been selling her Moon Magic line of oils
and incenses for years. I thought I knew something about
herbs--this was before my first real conversation with her! I am
delighted that she has finally distilled her years of herbal
practice, Qabalistic study, astrological knowledge and magical
expertise into a book that will benefit any student of the occult
arts, from novice to adept. Well done, Karen! --Judith
HawkinsTillirson, author of The Weiser Concise Guide to Herbal
Magick-- "Reviews"
Powerful, practical and deliciously magickal! I love The Herbal
Alchemists Handbook! Not only does it have excellent recipes, but
it tells you the how and why behind the principles of formulation
rooted in tradition but not afraid to add new, practical and
firsthand knowledge. In particular, Karen takes a tough topic,
formulation with your numerology or astrology and explains the
process in clear terms and makes it fun as well as informative.
--Christopher Penczak, author of The Temple of Witchcraft series
and The Plant Spirit Familiar-- "Reviews"
