I have some questions. I think that I am still on topic, but I haven't heard much here about tree-based herbalism. Specifically, I am reading the book "Celtic Tree Mysteries, Secrets of the Ogham" by Steve Blamires. After a lot of research I think that I can tell hokum or not, regardless of subject matter. This book seems to be authentic in the presentation of Celtic, at least Insular Celtic, tree associations, including his uses of the trees he discusses. I have had difficulty finding any personal info on the net. Maybe it is my browser, which is starting to suck. Anyway, here are my questions:
1. Is Blamires a reliable presenter of ancient Celtic beliefs, or is he writing from a neopagan creation/recreation ?
2. Is his tree-based herbalism accurate and correct? I can vouch for some of the uses for the willow.
Thank you for your expertise again. I need to verify Blamires' herbalism.
