Herbs

Herbs often touch the mingling of cares and remedies — vexing worries laced with pleasure, poisonous ones warning of enemies, healing ones promising satisfaction and warm friendship. The dream may ask what in your life both troubles and soothes, which influences nourish and which quietly poison, and how to tell the balm from the bane.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for herbs, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
