SACRED PLANT MEDICINE: The Wisdom in Native American Herbalism
BY STEPHEN HARROD BUHNER

As my learning with plant medicines progressed I would occasionally return to my family physician for one thing or another. Increasingly, however, he either did not know what was wrong with me or if he did he had no effective treatment for it. Further, it was becoming increasingly apparent that, as fine a man as he was, he could not go below the surface of the disease to its root cause. He did not know what was wrong, he simply had information about some of its aspects. If the treatment lay outside of easily administered antibiotics, he had few if any tools with which to treat the disease. I was becoming increasingly dissatisfied with this approach to healing. Finally, after a particularly unsatisfactory treatment, I spent a few weeks in deep thought about the course I was pursuing in the healing of my body. I rummaged through all the old receipts and records of medical treatment I had undergone over the past six or seven years. The picture that emerged was deeply thought provoking. In all that time there was not one disease for which I had sought treatment that I could not have treated more efficiently, more cheaply, and more satisfactorily with the plant medicines I knew. This insight caused me a great deal of perturbation. It resulted, eventually, in a fairly unorthodox decision. I decided that henceforth I would not go to any physician for the treatment of disease...

PLANETARY CYCLES:
July '06 - Astrology
BY CAROLINA EASTWOOD-PARKYN

The summer solstice on June 21 set the stage for the next three months of human experience. In the Western Hemisphere, this is the longest day of the year, and the opposite is true in the Southern Hemisphere, meaning that we have different backgrounds to the same event, yet, for all of humanity, the solstice is a significant turning point. The Latin term "solstice" roughly translates to "sun standing still." Symbolically, it is a pause in time; a moment to reflect on what we have experienced and learned since last January's Winter Equinox, and a time to look ahead to what we may wish to create in the coming three months. Take a moment to reflect on what you intend to create this summer, ask, what would be the most fruitful and fulfilling use of your time, then hold that vision with delight in your heart.

At the Summer Solstice, the sun entered the sensitive, nurturing, and often psychic, sign of Cancer. Early July is a great time to focus our energies on nurturing home and family. For those of us who do not live in traditional family units, please remember that family can also include your close circle of friends, animals, and beloveds; the key for July is nurturing. On a deeper level, the sign Cancer represents the foundation of our life and being. When a foundation is strong, the structure gives consistent and valuable support for a long time. Taking the time this month to strengthen your foundation on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level is energy well spent to ensure the quality of your future.

On July 4, Mercury turns retrograde (apparent backwards motion) in Leo, and backs into Cancer until July 28. Because Mercury is the planet symbolizing all forms of communication and ways of connecting to our environment, while it is retrograde we have the opportunity to complete projects, or deliver communications, that have been on hold. Mercury retrograde helps us to get current, which frees our energy for upcoming new activities.
