Prior to writing the Encyclopedia of Aphrodisiacs which is much more extensive, the late Christian Rätsch wrote the book Plants of Love with foreward by Albert Hoffman. It is one of the most comprehensive books to date one the ritual and ceremonial use of aphrodisiacs historically and presently, including detailed information on photochemistry. It even includes the nightshades. This is very important to me because it provides information beyond “these plants are dangerous” to show what people actually used them for. It’s organized similarly to the encyclopedia with similar tables and such. Published in 1997 he dedicates the book to wife Claudia Müeller-Ebeling. - #aphrodisiacs #sexmagic #lovemagic #plantsoflove #christianrätsch #ethnobotany #entheogens #plantmedicine #plantspiritmedicine #arsaphrodisia #poisonpath #veneficium https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci77JacrcL3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
