Customer Review: Old world wisdom
Summary: 5 Stars
Juliette de Bairacli Levy has written an amazing book here! A traveler, a friend of the nomads and the gypsies, and an herbalist, she shares with us many of the things she has learned over a lifetime of travel and study. Each subject that she addresses (travel, water, fire, weather, dwellings, medicine and food) takes you into the world of the gypsy. A vegetarian (because of her love for animals), she personally prefered to live on raw food, herbs, wild plants, fruits and nuts, raw milk, and bread. She includes some recipes. Of course, not everyone can eat dairy or wheat these days. And raw milk is hard to come by. So, some things may have to be adapted. But this is how she lived. She believed in simplicity, respecting animals, being good caretakers of the earth and water, and helping one another. Sprinkled amongst such information as how to build the best fires, how to stop dysentery (this surprised me), and how to eliminate pests, there are poems and words of wisdom from various sources. I am a huge fan of this woman. I will never part with this book. There is so much useful advice here. This should be on the bookshelf of every herbalist and every parent. Even hard-core survivalists might find they can learn a thing or two from this humble woman.
