The Herb Magic of the Early Israelites

As man grew wiser he gradually gave up his nomadic ways and began to settle down to live in one place. From the temporary camp, he came to live in villages and towns and soon began to be civilized. He built permanent homes; built ships for travel and trade and learned to write and to read; developed his morals and his religion.

Despite all this progress, man in the early days of civilization, continued to cling to many of the ancient ways. The Witch Doctor and the Medicine Man of the early days had disappeared but in his place were priests of the early religions. In their way they were as powerful as the earlier Witch Doctors had been.

There were many such priests who preyed upon the fancies of their people. Some, drunk with their powers were hated and feared. Others, more benevolent, performed great works for their flocks and were beloved and honored and became great leaders.

Such a man was Moses who, the earliest records of civilization reveal, exerted great influence over the early Israelites. The Bible records many instances of his great knowledge of Natural History and describes many of his formula and recipes. His position as the religious head of his people enabled him to enforce his doctrines, his ethics, his rituals which he pronounced the "Law of God".

That they were natural laws, laws of common sense perhaps did not occur to his followers at that time.

Let it suffice to say that Moses was a wise man, more concerned with his people than with his personal power. He had recorded all the laws and doctrines which he set forth and among them are found the earliest herbal recipes of mankind.

Some of these recipes of earliest civilization are still in use today.
