The use of herbs and oils has been in practice throughout history. In ancient times incenses, oils, and elixirs were used to heal the sick, soothe the emotions, banish evil energies, as well as to facilitate divine communication, through the subtle energetic properties of the herbs and oils used. Modern studies in herbology and aromatherapy have proven not only the medicinal soundness of herbs and essential oils to facilitate healing on the mind, body, and soul, but have also unlocked their metaphysical properties. For example, bergamot attracts prosperity, frankincense clears negativity, and Jasmine draws spiritual love. When you combine the healing and metaphysical components of herbs and oils with the energy vibrations of prayer, and with the assistance of the archangels, magic happens. The Archangel Apothecary; Incense, Oils, Herbs, Potions, & Prayers for Everyday Life by Dar Payment is a collection of over 240 original recipes, and 55 effective prayers designed to help you live a healthy, prosperous, and joy filled life. And more importantly, will serve to deepen your faith and trust in God's master helpers; also known as the Archangels. This compendium of herbal and angelic lore is a vital tool for every spiritual person on any spiritual path, free from the constraints of traditional religious dogma.

Discover the many ways you can use plant medicine to boost your physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing—with over 180 recipes and step-by-step instructions for herbal teas and other natural remedies. “ . . . contains far more than simple directives found in most herb books . . . Spiritual insights are richly interwoven with excellent herbal remedies.” —Rosemary Gladstar, author of Medicinal Herbs: A Beginner’s Guide With more than 180 easy-to-follow recipes and written by a well-respected urban herbalist, The Gift of Healing Herbs explores herbology as the “people’s medicine”—freely available to all—and as a powerful yet gentle way to heal the body, mind, heart, and soul.

Find hope and renewal in life's natural cycle of ordinary losses and new beginnings. "When we intentionally enter into our everyday walk through small losses, the terrain of larger losses, the valley of the shadow of death, is not totally unknown. It is not completely unfamiliar, alien, terrifying, for we have walked some of this way before with our lesser losses. We can journey through this valley of loss, for journey through it we must. And we can emerge markedly changed, but alive, on the other side." —from the Prologue Going beyond loss as a problem to be resolved, a grief to be worked through, Dr. Nancy Copeland-Payton, a spiritual director and ordained clergywoman, reframes loss from the perspective that our everyday losses help us learn what we need to handle the major losses. Weaving in spiritual and classical themes, personal and scriptural story, Dr. Copeland-Payton shows us that by becoming aware of what our lesser losses have to teach us, the larger losses of our lives become less terrifying. Each chapter includes a spiritual practice and questions for reflection to help you: Mine the hidden depths of painful losses of things and places Traverse the devastating loss of relationships and the heart-wrenching death of people we love. Overcome the steep, dark slopes of loss of beliefs and faith. Venture past our fear of the losses of aging and our own death.
