I'm now focusing on revamping content away from new-agey/shamanic to Science/Biblical ethnobotany(how these plants are depicted in the scriptures), optimizing the site in terms of SEO, content, user friendlyness, etc. I am also using Science, and Shamanism to back up the Bible, and show how all agree on certain phenomenon, as well as sharing my own personal truth. All of the pages herein are being updated and new content added, now in the end of July 2022, and throughout 2022 into 2023. Check out what BotanicalGuides does on Alignable.com if you're a small business owner or entrapaneur, I am be able to help you make some cash. I am looking for companies who want advertising. I am accepting donations in the form of financial gifts to anyone willing. CashApp: $BotanicalG420 You can also check out my free Manta listing. Thanks
This website is best viewed turned side ways on a mobile device. Eventually I will have both mobile and desktop friendly versions available and an auto-detect/redirect feature programmed within the source code. Bare with me. I'm always working on Botanical Guides. I strive for original content and intend to always run the largest and best holistic/ethnobotanical resource and vendor/product review website on the entire internet. I do my best to have pages on the first page of Google and tell it like it is, while including citations.
Welcome to the worlds largest online encyclopedia of herbal medicine and ethnobotanicals. This website has been online sense round 2011. It's been under a "Negative SEO Attack" for many years now but I am fighting it, winning, and keeping the word out. So update: I've made more progress on revamping the site. I believe it was the will of God for Bouncing Bear to be shut down. They were selling some stuff irresponsibly, and in a way it kinda seemed like a cult, looking back. Not everything they sold was bad or toxic but they had some wierd ish. My site botanical guides ( herbalism .blog ) is not a shop, keep that in mind. I put up warnings about certain plants which are toxic ( were used by shamans, and are marketed in dangerous ways on the internet, bouncing bear was a good example.. no offense fo Jon Sloan but. selling bella donna is dangerous and there were no warnings on the page about it. it's deadly. not cool. so yeah I hope to reduce harm with these warnings and I put up bible quotes as well which illustrate my point biblically. I'm putting biblical ethnobotany on the keyword map. #biblicalethnobotany ethnobotanicalsb.html I also warn people about plants used in sorcery so they can be avoided. Remember what the bible says about cursed objects, bring them into your home and become accursed like them. FYI This does not mean all plants are bad and herbalism is bogus, remember the study of phytochemistry and the science that validates the use of herbs as potential medicine. We know through research which plants yield no toxcicity and which do. It's strange however, that extremely dangerous ones remain unschedule, while the most beneficial are targeted by corrupt government agencies. Welcome to the future. (#_#) Gotta love the righteous though and stand behind them. Discernment is the lesson, and the revelation of how diabolical and covert evil has become, and manipulative, a whole new level of deception. Rise above, call upon Yeshua Christ and the Most High God. Praise thee
I bring to you credible information, a comprehensive database of herbs used in herbalism, their benefits, their use in the bible, scientific facts, as well as compare the Bible with traditional beliefs of Shamanic cultures which used certain "ethnobotanicals", give warnings about such occultic practices that involve these plants while citing scripture, as well as give personal experience reports, sometimes preparation methods, precautions, inside information, activist calls to action and news, product and shop reviews, and generally original content that you won't find anywhere else. If you're tired or reading or hearing the same re-worded facts over and over again, then you've come to the right place. I strive to have the largest database of medicinal and psychoactive plants on the globe! Our database is even larger than Erowid.org's Plant Database!

Warning About "Shamanic Ethnobotanicals"And New Age Indoctrination
One must be cautious when shopping for Ethnobotanicals online because a number of the shops are mentioning cultural lore which is leading to people unknowingly practicing witchcraft. They use the word "shamanic" to make it seem less sinister, but essentially the same practices are done. It's the same thing. This leads to people having unwanted encounters with the supernatural or paranormal activity. Once people see this long enough, inevitably they accept the truth, that it is real. A lot of followers come to their faiths from the new age or other occultic religions ( most Eastern traditions ), because of this very thing. People encounter the supernatural, they get scared, they pray to their countries God(The Most High is the real God). Some of the main religions worship the same God under different names, but bottom line, the one God above all others, is the real God. The assertion is, if invisible and intelligent entities that can influence the physical world exist around us, and can prey on us, then there must be benevolent, or Good invisible entities that can influence the physical world around us. This is the truth. When people experience "The Holy Spirit", they are engaging the good side of the supernatural, aka GOD, The Father, The Sun(Jesus), and The Holy Spirit.
Demons dwell in your soul according to religious doctrine. You have your (1):spirit, (2):soul, and (3):body. This is verified within the bible, as stated by paul. ( The holy trinity [3] ) Please do your own research and look up verses to verify this. You need to study on your own anyway! Demons work in the realm of the soul: which is the mind, will, and emotions. Sin begins in the mind, and the will enables the birth of that sin, and it is felt and experienced through the emotions. Demons thrive off of emotions created via sin, and human suffering ( sadness, anger, etc ). Your body is your house, your holy temple. Demons seek destroy your house, as they view it as a rental. Be led by the spirit of Christ the savior and not by the desires of the soul. It's understandable to question any belief system. I will share my story with you as to how I know, rather than just having blind faith. I came to know Yeshua ( Jesus Christ ) when I realized and accepted the truth while being delivered from the new age. Yahweh and Christ must be exalted above oneself at all times, or otherwise be cursed, or be ye enslaved by thine own device.
The Bible confirms that plants are medicine: Ezekiel 47:12 - "And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine".
Revelations 22:2 "In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations."
Ezekiel 47:12 "Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing."
Song Of Solomon 4:12-16 "A garden enclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed. Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; Camphire, with Spikenard, Spikenard and Saffron; Calamus and Cinnamon, with all trees of Frankincense, Myrrh, and Aloes, with all the chief spices; A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon. Awake, O north wind, and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out.. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits."

For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart. The good man brings out of his good treasure what is good, and the evil man brings out of his evil treasure what is evil. But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgement. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."

Kratom News 2022-2023
Update: The news below is old. It looks like the FDA lost as usual: United Nations Panel Rejects International Kratom Ban Keep up with the AKA so we can continue to whoop the FDA's behind, until we can repeal them all together for being a pain in ours.
The FDA was going to try to get the WHO to ban Kratom internationally. Please oppose this and visit the American Kratom Association as usual to follow their instructions to stop the ban. Christians and other religions pray, and together through the power of Yeshua(Jesus), Yahweh(God), The Father, The Sun, and The Holy Spirit, we will once again block this attack, and cast those demons out of the way from interfering with our lives. Please do your part on a physical and spiritual level by signing the comment petition and praying as well, thanks. Be aware of sneaky political agendas that want to limit the potency of Kratom and Cannabis as a way to make it illegal, because then 99% of it will be "too potenty" rendering it illegal. Oppose this and join the AKA yourself to make sure they don't do this.
Kudos to the American Kratom Association and the rest of the freedom fighters within the states and around the world for continuing to win the legal battle to keep Kratom legal. I call out the FDA, neo nazi's and other fake political agencies and entities, and back up the truth with academic citations, login AND reason, and even the bible is used to show their wickedness exist, in a covert nature. The FDA and DEA and other political forces including the big drug companies have continued to fail at their attempts to destroy, discredit, and ban God's seed bearing herbs including Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) but it's not over.. Stay involved, informed, and keep fighting for the cause because they will never stop trying to destroy the lives and minds of the masses. Be aware of certain American Kratom Association members trying to push their sneaky prohibition ( they want to limit the potency of kratom, which will make 99% of it illegal, thus prohibiting the plant all together. ) It's a way to rig it and ruin it. It'll destroy the potency and then they'll swoop in and set up shop ( them and their buddies, the ones behind the bills ) Stop this attack on our right to earn money and live freely.
This website is dedicated to the biblical ethnobotany relating to medicinal, psychoactive, and otherwise useful plants, aka Ethnobotanicals. It touches base on biblical ethnobotany AND at times, briefly explains the importance of its relationship with phytochemistry, pharmacology, psychology, and others, and talks about the history and lore of these botanicals as well as warns sinerely about the dangers of using them in the wrong context, aka "shamanic context", as condemnd by the holy scripture and for GOOD REASON. New agers often turn to mainstream religion after accidentally having negative... shall I say... experiences.. Biblical Ethnobotany is the study of the relationship that humans beings have had with plants in ancient Biblical times. So this is what plants were used for outside of new age shamanic witchcraft, in ways in which God does not condemn. This website also touches base on making it known to the masses the difference, so as to save someone a lot of trouble. God can allow you to be punished if it will teach you what must be learned.
Some of the articles that I wrote in the past may have seemed off topic or new agey but that's because I was into that then, but I am in the process of revamping the website. Any page that has the Cross for the favicon has been redone. This page has been online sense around 2011. New content will be added to the site in 2022 and so on so don't think that this page is out of commission yet! It's still going strong, and will go strong until the rapture and possibly after for those still down here. I don't know exactly what's going to happen but I hope that this page saves some people from a lot of trouble and improves their quality of life big time.
