Hi,
I have a friend who believes that the witch persecutions were related to
herbal remedy practice. Does anyone on this list have info on this or
citations? I'm familiar with Kai Erikson's work as well as _The Devil in the
Shape of a Woman_ (forgot author, sorry), but I don't know whether there's been
any work on herbal lore/midwifery playing a part.
Any info or direction appreciated.
Carolyn
