In any most neglected situation, when hopeson qualified doctors burst like a soap bubble, people know that the last hope is a medicine man. Traditional medicine is still in high demand. And the question of what the healers are treating wakes up the minds of many.
This is an ancient concept. The witch doctor is a healer, an herbalist.This is a special person with secret knowledge. The witch remembers every grass in appearance, smell and property, with what to combine it, when to apply it, at what time and where it is better to collect, so that it is filled with the most useful properties. He applies his knowledge mainly for the treatment of people and animals, divination and other important areas of life. Such people are also called whisperers, for the fact that they often mutter ornate conspiracies. It distinguishes them from others special calmness, curiosity, wisdom and experience. They are used in society with respect, trembling trust and are accompanied throughout life by rumors and gossip that envelops and haunts them, wherever healers appear.
Blood relationship here is of little importance, is itthat it is easier for blood relatives to transmit knowledge due to the constant presence of these. Anyone can become a student of a herbalist or study the drug science on his own. But these knowledge are not acquired in one year, because you need to absorb a very large number of secrets and wisdoms, gain necessary experience. It is often believed that being a herbalist is a truly feminine vocation, but a man can become a sorcerer, and there are advantages too. Women are known as midwives, it is easier for a woman to entrust something personal, secret, to entrust a child, but to a male council will be treated with much greater respect. The best sorceress, according to popular beliefs, women are "pure" - single or widowed. But according to the North Russian legends, the power of the witch doctor is from someone who has all his teeth well. In some regions it is said that healers are those who somehow or other came into contact with the mysterious world, possibly stolen by foresters. Outwardly from ordinary people, they do not differ in any way. So with a strong desire, you can always find yourself a mentor-healer and find out what the healers are treating, from the first mouth.
Any herbalist is just a fount of information, owhich the common man does not even suspect. They are able to ward off the evil eye, to save from spoiling, to give the child a quiet sleep, to find the missing, to predict, to solve dreams, to remove the spell, to protect the young family, to strengthen the relations of the spouses, to rid themselves of small pests and rodents, to protect the fields, to attract luck to hunters and fishermen. But most of all, healers specialize in some basic direction of traditional medicine, like ordinary doctors. Some believe that the herbalists yakshayutsya with the impure, others argue that the healers are working, only turning to God.
It is strange that people engaged in healing andstudy of medicinal herbs, are considered to be involved in connections with evil forces. These superstitions are guilty of village prejudices, where they continue to be considered sorcerers of healers. Prejudice, these are due to the fact that people are accustomed to suspect in all the unknown to them the work of supernatural forces. And seeing, but not fully understanding what the healers are treating, people immediately ranked the healers to a number of witches. From the letters of zemstvo doctors dated to the nineteenth century, we know about the hostile attitude of peasants to doctors, there have been cases of the murder of doctors during epidemics, as they were accused of spreading diseases. The ordinary people preferred to go to the healers, believing that doctors can treat only the diseases of lords. The main difference between a sorcerer and a sorcerer is that sorcerers wrap their actions in secret, and healers work openly, and conspiracies begin with an appeal to God. The healer has a bright, clean, warm hut with the smell of dried herbs. And the doctor does not demand money for his help. Although it is not shameful to repay with money, products or services, because knowledge, art, and not sorcery are judged.
Healers use for treatment specialconspiracy, pronounced either over the patient, or over the drug. They use the power of nature, water, objects, make up various mixtures for indoor and outdoor use. Herbalists talk about water and sprinkle water on people. He uses a witch doctor and hands, threads, candles, coal, chips. Wizards are considering the ailment on a different level, energetic, therefore, first of all, human damage is corrected at the energy level. Sometimes ailments are personified, and they are talked to, they are asked to leave the sick person. In any case, everything comes down to the treatment with herbs, infusions and broths. So did the herbalists of Ancient Rus.
And what are the healers of other countries being treated?Are there methods that are absolutely wild for our understanding? The healers of India, for example, believe that the cow's urine can cure heart disease, and the use of fish alive helps from asthma. They believe and that apples treat claustrophobia. Of course, these are questionable and controversial methods, but it should be noted that in the vast majority of cases, even in India they turn to plants and herbs for help.
If you are interested in attending at least a little andfeel yourself a sorcerer, you can use various literature, for example, read the "Golden Benefit of the People's Witch Doctor". One can not say unequivocally how useful it will be in everyday life, but at least in order to plunge into the atmosphere that interests you, it will come in handy. Moreover, it will never be superfluous to get acquainted with variants of amulets and conspiracies for all occasions.
