The Now You Know Show: Episode 96: Catherine Yronwode on This Amazing Book

Tonight on our show, an interview with Catherine Yronwode on the book, "This Amazing Book -- Hoodoo Herb and Root Medicine -- Open the Door to Better Health". Catherine Yronwode presents a revised edition of this essential text, newly edited and illustrated with the classic botanical art of F. Schuyler Mathews. Originally published in 1947, when it was first offered for sale, "This Amazing Book" was a rural herbalist's delight. The anonymous author took the secret of his or her identity to the grave, but the data supplied here about down-home treatments with herbs, roots, seeds, and flowers forms the foundation of modern herbal medicine. Now, on the 70th anniversary of its original publication, presented by Lucky Mojo Curio Company as part of its Library of Occult Classics.   A new and exciting variety broadcast that covers all things hoodoo, rootwork, and conjure. "From deep in the heart of Texas, where the stars at night are big and bright, comes The Now You Know Show, with Professor Charles Porterfield, here to tell it like it was and how it is, to help school ya, so no one can fool ya!" Tune in and learn valuable lessons about the practice of hoodoo, conjure, and throwing roots with a skilled practitioner who brings a lifetime of experience to the task of teaching newbies and entertaining old-time practitioners alike.
