Join Aeon Education for the penultimate part of their Living History of Herbal Medicine course, where they delve into the world of the sundew (Drosera) with Dylan Warren-Davis, and its significance in the work of arguably the most renowned herbalist to have ever lived, Nicholas Culpeper.
Nicholas Culpeper played a crucial role in making medical knowledge accessible to the general public. After a brief stint at Cambridge, he became disillusioned with the elitist academic environment and pursued an apprenticeship as an apothecary. This decision propelled his career in herbal medicine, where he combined his classical education with practical herbal knowledge.
In this webinar, herbalist and astrologer Dylan Warren-Davis will explore how Culpeper’s approach brought together astrological, alchemical, and herbal principles to make healing knowledge accessible to all.
After a deep dive into Culpeper's history and what led him to herbalism, Dylan will focus on the sundew—a mysterious, insectivorous plant that Culpeper associated with the Moon and Cancer, imbuing it with unique healing qualities. Through Culpeper's teachings, the sundew represents more than a remedy; it symbolises the interplay of cosmic and natural forces that affect health and well-being.
Learn about the following:
- The Story Behind the Herbs
- Culpeper’s Radical Break from Tradition
- Translation that Changed Medicine
- Astrological Insights & Hidden Virtues
... and much much more, including a deep dive into astrology, symbolism, and of course, herbal medicine!
