Astrological Medicine & Renaissance Herbalism
with Astrologer and Herbalist Judith Hill & Herbalist Matthew Wood, MS
with Astrologer and Herbalist Judith Hill and Herbalist Matthew Wood, MS
This introductory course brings together one of the luminaries of modern herbalism (Matthew Wood) with one of the shining stars of astrological medicine (Judith Hill). Both share a deep interest and knowledge of the history of astrological, herbal, and Renaissance medicine, as well as the closely related "Nature Wisdom" (Natura Sophia) movement.
Together they comprise nearly a hundred years of herbal, healing, and astrological wisdom.
This class places the subject within its historical milieu but then quickly moves on to the discussion of practical herbal lore related to astrology, gemstones, and metals of the seven planets, planting, making, and administering medicine by the stars, surgical dates, concluding with a discussion of chart reading.
While this class is introductory in scope, it is also highly practical.

In Native American teaching, Star Woman descended to Eldest Turtle, bringing the stars or archetypes of creation to the earth. In European teachings, it is Sophia or Wisdom who embraces star lore, plant lore, and earth lore. This “ Wisdom of Nature” or Natura Sophia culminated in the Renaissance, the “golden age” of astrological herbalism.”
