Juliette of the Herbs (Video)  
Featuring Juliette de Bairacli Levy, Mabinogion Films


Juliette of the Herbs is a beautifully filmed lyrical portrait of the life and work of Juliette de Bairacli Levy; herbalist, author, breeder of Afghan hounds, friend of the Gypsies, traveler in search of herbal wisdom and a pioneer of holistic veterinary medicine. Juliette's well-loved and now classic herbals for animals and for children have been a vital inspiration for the present-day herbal renaissance and holistic animal-care community.
For more than 60 years Juliette has lived with the Gypsies, nomads and peasants of the world, learning the healing arts of these peoples who live close to nature, and listening to nature herself. Now in her late 80s, Juliette's life story is as colorful and as exciting as her tremendous wealth of herbal knowledge.
Filmed on location in Greece, Spain, France, Portugal, Switzerland, England and America, and interwoven with Juliette's vast collection of archival photographs, together with scenes of Gypsies dancing and Bedouins with their herds, Juliette of the Herbs is an inspiring portrait of a remarkable woman.

Weeds to the Wise (Video)
The Traditions of Healing: Scientific, Heroic, Wise Woman
By Susun S. Weed, Ash Tree Publishing


One hour herbal walk & lecture on VHS. The Wise Woman Tradition is ancient and intimately connected to the natural cycles of the plants, the earth, the moon, and our bodies. Wise Women support the body's natural healing processes through the gifts of common herbs, development of compassionate intuition, the ability to listen to one's inner voice, and simple rituals that empower each person's path of healing.
The world's oldest tradition of healing offers us new ideas and options. Listening to the inner Wise Woman, men as well as women can find nourishing ways to wholeness, using the manifested gifts of "problems" and "sickness." This unique tradition will be differentiated from the more common, highly visible scientific tradition of "fixing" and the "heroic" (mistakenly called "holistic") tradition of cleansing.
