In between delivering a keynote address at the International Herbal Symposium in Massachusetts and giving a workshop at Rosemary Gladstar’s Sage Mountain, herbalist and author Stephen Buhner paid a visit to Inner Traditions, Bear and Company with his partner Julie Macintyre earlier this summer. Being a former neighbor (he lived in nearby Braintree before relocating to wilder terrain in New Mexico) at one time we were able to see other on occasion, so it was a great pleasure to have an opportunity to spend time with him again. Stephen has published three of his books with us and the final manuscript for a fourth book is imminent. I am eagerly anticipating reading the finished manuscript as what I’ve seen thus far includes some of Stephen’s most passionate and brilliant (as in incandescent) writing to date. Appropriately, as the subject of this book is writing, more specifically, how to write non-fiction books in a way that is as creative and powerfully inspiring as the greatest works of literature. As Stephen says: “this book has been primarily written for people who are called to the craft, for those who have felt the luminous power of language, who have fallen in love with it, and who are compelled by some deep part of themselves to take on this lineage as their own.”

Our readers are familiar with Emoto’s work on the healing messages in water and probably are familiar with his research and that of others on water’s “memory.’ However, when it comes applying the fruits of modern water research practically, we in the US still lag far behind Europe, especially Germany and Austria where the findings of Viktor Schauberger and Wilhelm Reich have been employed to create a whole new generation of technology for not only purifying water but for increasing the potency of its active properties.
