Acknowledgements

I would like to thank all of those people who encouraged me: Derek and Pat Briggs who were the Founders and Directors of the Auckland College of Classical Homeopathy from 1984 - 2009, my tutors Brigita Biondic, Ann Gulley, Ros Lyall, Mary Tonner, Wendy Rapp-Gathercole (who taught me how to create a mind map), and most especially my mentor, the principal of the college, Jeannette Bennett. Also thanks, and my deepest affection, to Sophie Ganley and my teacher Pratibha Dalvi for their support and meticulous proof-reading. ~To Ari Bakker who became navigator to make sure that the books "should not go wrong in sight of the ·harbour," my heartfelt gratitude. Voor Ari Bakker, die de helm aannam, zodat de boekeMniet, met land al in ., zicht, nog zouden kunnen zinken. Heel, heel hartelijk bedankt, van mijn hart!

I am deeply indebted to Dr Rajan Sankaran for his work on the Kingdoms and for his work on many of the individual remedies used in this book, to Jonathan Shore for his work on Birds and Spiders, Peter Fraser for his work on Birds, Jeremy Sherr and Alastair Gray for their many excellent provings, Massimo Mangialavori for his work on Spiders, Snakes and Sea remedies, Nancy Herrick for her work on the Lac remedies, Divya Chhabra for her work on the Lacs and several other remedies in this book and her generous encouragement, Homoeopathic Links for their kind permissions, to Olga Fatula and Leonid Anikeev for their boundless generosity with their provings. Many thanks to all of them for their gracious permission to use their material to create these mind maps. Also humble admiration and gratitude to the many brave provers of the new remedies added to our Animal Kingdom pharmacopoeia as well as the older provings.

I must also thank the incomparable Frans Vermeulen, his Concordant Materia Medica is one of the primary reference texts used in these mind maps, along with Prisma and Synoptic 2. His work is so thorough and impeccable that one feels one can have huge confidence in it. I'm also very grateful for his generosity with his time and patience with my many questions. Thank you also to his publisher Emryss, especially to Jenni Tree who gave me support, encouragement and advice in this endeavour.

And to the amazing authors who researched and wrote the non-homeopathic texts included on many mind maps goes my admiration as well as my thanks. So much of this work was fascinating to me and often lead me down channels of interest which I would never have otherwise gone down.

There is no doubt about it - this book would be much impoverished by the lack of photographs. Permission was often given with best wishes and occasionally with the offer of unlimited access to a gallery of photos. In some cases the photographer would actually go out into the garden, paddock, moors or wilderness and take another photograph that they felt was more worthy of publication. Many of the photographs are works of art - as with the non-homeopathic texts and provings, please bear in mind that every photograph is copyrighted to the photographer, please respect that with integrity and do not copy the mind maps. I'm most humbly grateful to the contributors who come from all over the world. May each and every one of them be blessed.

Thanks and inexpressible love to my family who allowed, supported, waited patiently, encouraged, assisted, proof-read, and believed in me for all the years it took to produce my books. Feel my love, Alicia Auckland 2010

Foreword This book was originally meant for my own personal use having been a required assignment at college. It wasn't until my tutors and my fellow students began to request copies that l came to realize that these mind maps might also be of some value to other practitioners. By the end of my third year, with the encouragement of my tutors, as well as continuing to create new mind maps I had begun revising and updating to the best of my ability in preparation for publication. However, because they were originally written only for myself there are some idiosyncrasies, punctuation in particular which was reduced to the minimum so as not to add to the busyness of the page. ti''\.·

These mind maps are in no way meant to replace the study of the materia medic11;it's best to refer to the mind maps once you have read, and wish to differentiate, the materia medica and the proving of the remedy you are considering. Then come to the mind map and see how the character might present. My work is just one persons' view of how the remedy unfolds - they are a portrayal as I see it of how one thing leads to another, or how one symptom causes another, so obviously you must not rely on just these mind maps; research your remedy thoroughly and come to know it from all its perspectives and be aware that a remedy has many degrees of presentation, a broad spectrum and depth of intensity of experience and expression.

The remedies in this book include what l was required to do by my college, those created to assist me with analysis of a case, requested by a colleague, or simply remedies that I was particularly interested in. The Fungi, Nosodes and Sarcodes are included with the Animals for several reasons: they share some characteristics with the animals, many nosodes and sarcodes are made from animal tissue, and also because l felt it was easy to think of them as plants but important that we be aware that they are neither plants, nor animals nor minerals, they belong to a completely different kingdom.

The way to read a mind map is to start at the top and work downwards. They begin with the deepest mental beliefs and delusions, and then move down to the emotions that arise out of those beliefs, and then down to the physical pathology that arises out of those emotions. One thing leads to another. When you come to an arrow that goes off to one side or the other you follow that trail of arrows until it runs out and then go back to the centre line, or the top, and move downwards again. The idea is that the picture unfolds as you move towards the bottom, one symptom arising out of another.

In some cases I have put the general Family themes down the centre, or as additional symptoms, as a skeleton in a different coloured font and the individual characteristics of the particular remedy radiate from that (e.g. as with the Lacs, Spiders, and Insects, etc.). As you begin to use them more frequently you will become very familiar with the pattern of the layout and they become very easy to follow and understand. l have grouped the mind maps in a way that made sense to me, generally using Families as a guide. Please note that the mind maps don't re-connect rubrics as they were in the proving - they are a portrayal as I see it of how they fit together to form the picture. l have collated information from many sources and in some cases from separate provings into the mind maps.

I've tried to be diligent in acquiring permission to use material but I have no doubt that I will have overlooked some of the authors who ought to be credited on the mind maps. I received much of the information verbally in lectures, by tutors in class or guest speakers at seminars who may not always reference each point, it was gathered from diverse sources and, as often happens in these situations, important sources go unacknowledged. If so I'm very sorry indeed. Please advise Moozoonsii Publishing of this so that credit may be given where due.

Genus Panthera, Species Panthera tigris, Subspecies Panthera tigris tigris. The Royal Bengal tiger is the largest living member of the Felidae family (even bigger than lions). Found through the rainforests and grasslands of Bangladesh, Bhutan, Burma, China, India and Nepal. Its habitats are varied: open jungles, humid evergreen forests, scrub forests, deciduous forests and mangroves. Tigers hunt alone (going out at dusk) and lead a solitary existence within its own territory; the territory of an adult male may encompass up to l 00 square km. and hold from two to seven females. An apex predator its diet consists of antelope, water buffalo, chital, monkey, gaurs and wild pigs, birds, lizards, turtles, fish, frogs, crabs, and occasionally even other predators like leopards and bears. They love swimming but seldom climb trees. The tiger was worshiped prior to 2500 B.C.; it is depicted on several ancient seals, and statuettes of the peoples of the Indus Valley Civilisation. For over a thousand years, tigers have been hunted as status symbols, decorative items such as wall and floor coverings, as souvenirs and curios, and for use in traditional Asian medicines. Hunting for sport was probably the cause of the greatest decline in tiger populations until the 1930s. In the early 1990s, trade in tiger bone for traditional Chinese medicines threatened to drive tigers to extinction in the wild. Poaching is the largest threat to the remaining tiger population. The Bengal Tiger is listed as endangered by the IUCN. A feminine symbol, associated with Water, the Moon and the Night.

"This breathing under water business was the strangest and most unexpected phenomenon. I have now seen it so often that it can be used as a confirmation. The repertory does not have this but if you search for big waves: Mind; DREAMS; water; waves; high, of: all-c., bamb-a., corv-c., falco-p., germ., haliae-lc., lim-b-c., ozone; see how many birds are in this small rubric - there should be more as this is, in my opinion, a general for the bird family." Jonathan Shore: http:ll"l-V» w.minimum.comlbbl 1

...the bird family as a whole lies somewhere on an axis between the cancer and tubercular centers of gravity. Some are more cancer, i.e. the pelican, some have a more tubercular flavor like Buteo but I believe each must be evaluated in its own right - for example the penguin has a distinct leprosy feel to it. Jonathan Shore: Leading Voicesin Homeopathy;http://www.minimum.com/bb/

A bird is said to have laid the cosmic egg from which the universe was born. They are psychopomps, conductors of souls to the spirit world, frequently seen in mythology all around the world as representing the disembodied soul; often depicted sitting on, or hovering above, a man's head signifying either the soul residing in the head or the spirit leaving the body - in Christian art it is the Holy Spirit. A shaman can change into a bird, or be accompanied by a bird, to journey to the realms of the spirits, covering vast expanses of time and space in this journeying. Birds are often associated with deities. They are tricksters and oracles, advisors or messengers of the gods, liaisons between gods and humans, as well as guardians, assistants, companions and guides_ 10

Macaws are monogamous and 'mate for life'. A mated pair are very affectionate and will groom, and lick each other's faces, and fly wingtipto-wingtip. They are rarely separated except to gather food while their (female) partner incubates the eggs. Each pair raises 1 - 4 chicks each season, nesting in the cavity of a tree for up to two years. The newly hatched chicks are helpless until they grow their flight feathers and become fledglings. They require about 75 days to mature and can live for 80 - 100 years. They flock together at night to sleep. Parrots are often 'left-footed' just as humans are generally 'right-handed'; they use their left foot to hold food while they peel or crack it open with their extremely strong beak. Macaw will flock to river banks to lick the clay banks; scientists believe that the clay assists in the digestion of toxins found in the pre-mature fruits they eat. The parrot family is ancient and there have been no fossils found to identify their closest relative. After electrophoretic analysis of eggshells and egg whites scientists currently believe that the pigeon is the parrot's closest relative. (1) Mythology: Kinich Kakmo (Sunface Fire Macaw) was a Sun deity. He is depicted with a human body and a macaw head and carries a burning torch - a symbol of drought or burning heat - in each hand. He was the patron god of Izamal and it is said that he descended each day to the city in the form of a macaw to burn (consume) the sacrifices. The Mayan sun god was a patron of health and associated with the number 4. Parrot has an association with hallucinogenic drugs and assist in the journeying of the shaman. Mexican artworks depict a two headed human - but the heads are macaws. These supernatural beings are thought to be shaman journeying. Macaw medicine: conscious communication, pair bonding, bringer of rain, guidance and wisdom, and mockery. (2) Sen. as if drugged/stoned/high on marijuana Sens. of just being there Consciousness of individuality Tranquillity Everything feels wonderful

Feathers·ofthe mac~w were most highly prized (by Pueblo Indians) for ceremonial purposes and they were also very difficult to procure. The feathers, and also live birds, were obtained from Mexico in former times. Runners were sent to the south to bring back many brilliantly coloured feathers of this prized bird in exchange for skins and turquoises. The Kachinas (stylized religious icons, meticulously carved from cottonwood root and painted to represent figures from Hopi mythology) are said to "wear macaw feathers because the macaw lives in the south and they want the macaw to bring the rain from the south".(3) The word 'Macao' comes from Portuguese macau; macauba, a kind of palm tree.

Symbolism: Owl brings wisdom us prophetic powers, messages and omens through dreams and meditation, assists with clairvoyance, and clairaudience, astral projection (transcending time and space), reveals unseen truths, deception and truth withheld, and is associated with darkness, death, and both black and white magic. Connected to night and the moon (Sens. to the moon] she is a feminine symbol. Associated with the underworld and the goddess called 'Queen of the night', the 'night eagle' (Eagle is associated with the sun) has no fear of the darkness; she teaches us to see within ourselves as well as within others, to face our own self-deception and recognise deception in others. She moves silently, and has been called 'cat with wings'; her feathers are sometimes called 'deceivers feathers', perhaps because she is also a great shape-shifter. She is not a bird that circles in the sky in search of prey, she sits, almost invisible, in a tree in silence and watches; patience is one of her lessons. She is often associated with the Crone aspect of the Goddess. The Queen of the Night, Ereshkigal (or Lilith), was attended by Owls and Owls' is a medicine used by sorcerers, and those who work with the dark arts. There are many dark superstitions about Owl all over the world but we mustn't misunderstand, or fear, the nature of darkness or magic; those who are unwise abuse it, but she is actually a ~bol of wisdom and her message is about embracing and knowing the nature of darkness whilst living in the light of knowledge &(ttiith. She can assist with the development of insight into the motives of others and is often feared by those who hide, or are afraid to acknowledge and face, their dark nature. She encourages us to overcome resistance and self-delusion an~o (ace this shadow self. truths in her ear when she Owl sat on the shoulder of Pallas Athena, goddess of wisdom and the night, and whispered wisct611U1nd needed assistance. She sat on just one of her shoulders, her dark side bringing illumination so,that Athena could see and speak the full truth. Her message is that it is dangerous and counter-productive to try to short-cut the journey to selfhood by using black magic. Owl flies towards the truth, showing us the way, and through truth comes wisdom. (JJ

Britain's largest pigeon is considered a pest. They destroy crops and because of the abundance of food available to them there is an overpopulation problem. They are hunted by man for food and sport. On the other hand, dove has been embraced as the symbol of purity, grace, and unconditional love and tenderness, incapable of malice, a universal symbol of peace and innocence, and of the Holy Spirit, an attribute of the goddess of fertility; and a symbol of love between man and woman. It was a dove that Noah released from his ark; when it returned with an olive branch in its beak he knew the Flood had ended and the world was renewed. The bible has many references to doves either as symbols of the embodiment of the Holy Spirit - often described or illustrated as descending, or as a sacrifice. It is also a symbol of baptism, especially of Christ, also of the ascension of Christ, and a symbol of the hope of resurrection. "Dove" is used tenderly several times in the sublime Song of Solomon; as the perfect bride, and as an embodiment of beauty. " ... doves, also played an important role in Minoan belief. According to a current interpretation, doves could be understood as embodiment of a divinity, a representation of a goddess in a bird form nearby her sacred place - a shrine or on a tree. From the Early Minoan period the libation vases and amulets or models in bird form were used for a ritual purpose. We can observe a shape of birds even among the signs on the famous Phaistos Disc. The clay models of birds and their images o'fltlle ritual vessels are also amongst the regular furnishings of the shrines like those at Knossos, Goumia or at Karphi. The type of these birds has been a subject of long discussions between scholars, but usually they are considered as repr~enting doves.(])'' A symbol of 'the goddess' in Neolithic Europe Dove is associated with the Mother goddesses, the Divine. feminine (many of whom are the same entity evolved with different names) such as Atargatis (Queen of Heaven), Canaanite Asherah (Iron age: also called Athirat), Astarte, Phoenician Tanit (Tanith), Roman Venus, Persian Ishtar, and Egyptian Isis, Aphrodite and her mother Dione, and Athena as well as Mary the Holy Spirit (Queen of Heaven). Both male and female doves produce a 'crop-milk', a secretion from the lining of the crop (croup), which is a thick, curdish-looking, very protein and fat rich food which they feed to their newborn chicks, other than flamingos they are the only bird known to do this. Perhaps this is one reason why they are so closely associated with the goddesses. 'According to ancient Scottish legend the devil and witches can tum themselves into any bird shape except the dove.(])' (I) Dr Alena Trckova-Flamee, Ph.D, http://www.pantheon.orglarticlesld/dove_goddess.html

Recognized as one of the most 'intelligent' birds, and one of the oldest of the animal spirits, Raven is also considered one of the most charismatic and powerful, a magician; transporting the magic in healing circles, and is both benevolent and malevolent. Appearing in mythology around the world, in North America Raven is frequently represented on totem poles in North America, sometimes with a sun halo around his head, or a small sun in his mouth. He is seen as a deity and legends say that he created the world. Raven will have you in fits of laughter while he distracts you from the fact he is tricking you into doing something for him that you may not actually want to do, and which may cost you dearly. He is the great shape-shifter, and uses his ability to deceive others into doing as he wishes. He stole the Sun, the Stars and the Moon, as well as fire, and brought about the flood which began the end of the Age of Animal Beings and brought about the Age of Humans. He is said to have a fondness for humans and is very protective of them. He brought light and frre to the early people and gave them salmon so they wouldn't starve, he brought water in times of drought (it is said by some that the Northwest peoples left food out on the beaches in homage to ravens). On the other hand he is greedy and egotistical, a trickster and a thief. He is the jester and loves to laugh, even ifhe is the butt of his own jokes. He teaches us the value of laughter, of joy, of curiosity, and is an inspiration to share that with others. He is capable of inspinrtgi awe and terror, although always there is that twinkle in his eye and the knowledge that it can be only moments before he says something that will inspire laughter, albeit often irritated or uncomfortable laughter as he hits the nail squat'e.lyon the head. Demiurge and trickster, creator and scavenger, giver and thief, hero and villain - and often at one i!'nd.ihesame time. (I) Within the midnight blackness of his feathers which hold such deep sadness resides also a phenomenal'JighJ and overwhelming joy. Raven is a primordial spirit who birthed the cosmic egg and links us with the creative forces that brought the world into being. Black/White Strong sense of compassion for animals, esp. skunks

The Bald Eagle is a large, majestic, fierce looking bird with a wingspan that can reach over 2 metres. The lordliest of all the totems, a masculine energy, he is the spirit who soars on the wind, flying closest to the Great Spirit, and inspires us to aspire to attain these heights as well. Eagle is connected to all five elements, but predominately air (East Wind) which represents the mental plane; it is through the mental plane that we travel to access higher consciousness. Of all birds he is the one most associated with the vocation of shaman. We must have the courage of Eagle to conquer our fear and to set our Will to pass through the trials until we complete the journey. Our task is to bring both the light and the dark, illumination and shadow, to perfect balance, to embrace both; to embrace our Self and come to a state oflove, to Grace. Eagle flies highest of all but is also in touch with the earth, in balance and grounded, in harmony with the nature of his lower environment and his earthly self. Eagle is a master of inner vision, far sight, observation, having an overview oflife, intuition, psychic energy, spiritual insight, deep wisdom, a strong sense of selfbelief, self-discipline and confidence. Eagle symbolises passion, devotion to family, nobility, grace, endurance, strength, energy, and leadership. As with all birds he carries messages from the Great Spirit, assists with spiritual development and creative . manifestation. But Eagle medicine is not available to all, it is earned through initiation, consciousness, discipline and dedic'ltion along the path to selfhood, only then is one allowed to possess his feather and access his mighty powers. This is mirrored in the fact that today eagle feathers are as protected as eagles themselves; in the U.S. only members offederal~eepgnized tribes are allowed to possess eagle parts and are only able to do so after a lengthy and complex process to·bbtain a permit from the federal government. It is a serious federal offence to possess even a single feather without a perm.it Diana Roth: www.animalspirits.com

'Tyto alba' means 'white owl'. Barn owls are the most widespread of all owl species (Burton, 1984), and are found on every continent except Antarctica generally at low elevations in open habitats, such as grasslands, deserts, marshes and agricultural fields. There are up to 35 subspecies of Tyto alba. Owls are found in many, many myths and legends. They are symbols of magic, wisdom and prophecy, as well as messengers of death. http://animalsjrank. orglpages/794/Barn-Owls-Tytonidae-GEOGRAPHIC-RANGE.html

Loss of appetite in neuralgia < right-sided The name 'Ladybird' or 'Ladybug' arises from the vernacular name for the common 7-Spot Ladybird (Coccinella 7-punctata) in Europe: Our Lady's Bird, the 'Lady' in this case being The Virgin Mary. The red base colour of the elytra is said to represent her cloak and the 7 black spots to represent the Virgins' 7 joys and 7 sorrows. Relating Ladybirds to the Virgin Mary is not unusual, in his book 'History of the Ladybird: With some Diversions on This and That' (1989) Dr. A.W. Exel! cites 329 common names for the Ladybird from 55 countries, of which over 80 refer to the Virgin Mary and more than 50 are dedicated to God. Contrarily one Italian name is 'Galineta de! Diaolo' or 'The Devils Chicken.' Other names include the Swedish Himel ska nyckla or 'The Keys of Heaven' and the Cherokee 'Great Beloved Woman.'

The cochineal lives on the pads of cactus, covered by a protective cottony mass which they secrete. The insects are brushed off the cactus, killed with steam, hot water, dried in ovens & are crushed and used for bright crimson dye. Early Mixtecs, Mayans and Aztecs used the dye for body paint and a fabric dye that signalled social status. Spanish explorers in the 1550s brought cochineal from Mexico back to Europe. (1) Experiments are now showing that it enhances IgM production, prevents carcinogenic DNA damage in animals and is antithrombotic, antibacterial, estrogenic, and immunomodulatory.(2) The actual colour comes from carminic acid which the insect produces to deter predators. The carminic acid is extracted from the insect's body, nymph and eggs to make the dye. The dye has been used as colouring in food, drugs and cosmetics. It is said to contain a constituent also found in plant remedies used for coughs e.g. Drosera, Rumex, Stricta pulmonaria. In the U.S. it has shown up in pharmaceuticals esp. cough syrup, sausage, fish, shrimp, candy, pies, Jell-O, gummy bears, cheese, grapefruit juice, Kool-Aid, lipstick, rouge, and, of course, maraschino cherries. Red Dyes 2 and 40 currently used in cherries are being evaluated as potential carcinogens and cochineal is being reconsidered as a possibly safe cherry colorant. A small percentage of people are allergic to carminic acid, but probably no more than that are allergic to Red Dye 2 or 40. If you see 'E 120' on a food label ingredient list it contains cochineal. Different salts of carminic acid are still used in the food industry. The insoluble calcium carmine and ammonium carmine are used in alcoholic beverages, cheeses, various desserts and sauces. Water-soluble forms appear in alcoholic drinks. The Hyperactive Children's Support Group recommends carminic acid, its salts and other cochineal (J) www.as11.ed11htudentaffairslhealth/pharmacy/thepharside/; entities for elimination from children's diets.(/) (2)Etkin2006,Appendix Kuramoto etal 1996,Takahashi etal.2001 Photo©2005Liz Sungwwwjlic/a·.com/photos/liz_sung/ 27

The name 'Culex musca' has been used historically in homeopathy; the word 'musca' refers to the housefly, but I can find no evidence that it refers to a species of mosquito. 'Mosquito' (Spanish for 'little fly') was adopted to replace the term 'biting flies' to prevent confusion with the house fly. lt is derived from the word musca (Latin 'fly', cf. Sanskrit 'makshi') which was a generic term referring to humming flies (including bees). It's related to the Italian 'moschetta', the French 'moustique', Spanish, Portuguese and Italian 'mosca', French 'mouche, Slavic and Russian' mucha'. (Note: Agaricus muscaria is 'Fly agaric' from the same root) 28

Ant Medicine: Patience, Stamina, Planning. Energy and patience needed to complete work and is perfectly content to plod away at the job, or the dream, knowing that it will be accomplished. Communal living: Ant is not worried that he won't get his share, he knows that what you need will come to you, he trusts that the Universe will provide and is willing to share with others. Ant also stores for the future, as he is prudent and a great planner. But Ant is not a fool and does not respect those who are greedy and take more than their share or are not working for the good of all; if Ant is not wary they will take advantage of him. Ant teaches us to trust, to be patient, to work hard and know that you will be rewarded in the end. Diana Roth: www.animalspirits.com 30

Medusa means "sovereign female wisdom": in Sanskrit it's Medha, Greek Metis, Egyptian Met or Maat. Medusas' images in Old Europe begin several thousand years prior to her reinvention in classical Greek myth. In the Upper Palaeolithic, her power is represented in labyrinth, vaginal, uterine, and other female designs. Throughout the Neolithic period her forces are symbolized by the female figure positioned in holy postures and gestures of empowerment with the presence of animals, primarily birds and snakes with whom she is intimately connected. These images appear in the Mediterranean area and continue to extend into the late Bronze Age of Minoan Crete, (1600 BC) where she is represented as the refined serpentgoddess-priestess. (Modem copied image of the serpent goddess-priestess Ariadne and the original serpent-goddess-priestesses found at the Palace ofKnosso? in ivory and gold, and infaience). She was worshiped in Libya by the Libyan AmtzQns as their Serpent-Goddess. Medusa (Metis) was the destroyer aspect of the Great Triple Goddess also called Neith, Anath, Athene or Ath-ennartn N,orth Africa and Athana in 1400 BC Minoan Crete, and Kali in Hindu:- . -·· It was believed that no one could possibly lift her veil, and that to look upon her face was to glimpse ones own death as shtsaw your future. She symbolizes the following: Sovereign female wisdom, The female mysteries, All the forces of the primordial Great Goddess: The Cycles of Time as past, present and future, The Cycles of Nature as life, death and rebirth, She is universal Creativity and Destruction in eternal Transfonnation, She is the Guardian of the Thresholds and the Mediatrix between the Reahns of heaven, earth and the underworld, She is Mistress of the Beasts, Latent and Active energy, Connection to the earth, The union of heaven and earth, She destroys in order to recreate balance, She purifies, She is the ultimate truth of reality, The wholeness beyond duality, She rips away our mortal illusions, Forbidden yet liberating wisdom, The untameable forces of nature, As a young and beautiful woman she is fertility and life, As crone she consumes by devouring all on the earth plane, Through death we must return to the source, the abyss of transformation, the timeless realm. We must yield to her and her terms of mortality. She reflects a culture in harmony with nature. Birds appear on her head or shoulder, signifying her generative as well as the death wielding powers of her dark, crone aspect. They also represent the heavens of the sky. Snakes coil around her arms, legs or are entwined in her hair and are shown whispering into her ear. The serpent is a totem of the cycles oflife, death and rebirth and the seasons. It is the connection to the fertile earth and to the underworld. It also symbolizes immortality as it was thought to shed its skin indefinitely.

Salmon's pathway along the sacred waters goes inwards and upwards. No obstacle is so great that Salmon can't overcome it - the goal must be reached. And when it is reached we learn that actually, we've always been home. Force is not necessary, we can simply tum our vision easily toward the inner source and we are there - one of Salmon's biggest lessons is that it requires tremendous discipline and focus to meet the challenges which result in a new birth of wisdom and growth, but at the same time it is important to know that home is always just there, within us.(]) Professions: priest, nun, spiritual counsellor, teacher, genealogists.

Described by MacFarion, its prover, as: "...found in Cuba and Mexico. It belongs to the same family as the Tarantula hispana" Clarke: "Mygale cubensis. Aranea peluda. Cuban Tarantula" Lippe: "large, dark-brown and hairy spider of Cuba" ... descriptions indicate that it is not of the same family as Tarantula hispanica (the Lycosidae, or wolf-spiders), but rather is a new-world Tarentula, a Mygalomorph. Will Taylor, MD 2002;http://wwtt-'.wholehealthnow.com/homeopathyyro/wtl 5g.html

[Aranea peluda translation: hairy spider; it is not the name of a species. A.L.] While it was being shipped (by Hering) to the U.S.A. the container it was in was broken. The preserving alcohol ran out and when it arrived at it's destination it was rotted. The rotted spider was then proven by MacFarion. 83

Kleptomania

An ancient remedy: webs were put on cuts and wounds to stop bleeding; used as a plug to the nostrils in cases of long-continued and obstinate epistaxis. After getting a cut the body naturally produces fibrinogen, which is like a web and creates a barrier to stop bleeding. 'References to spider silk can be found in Clarke, Anshutz, Yingling, Hughes, and others, but to date there has been precious little original information available on it. Most entries in the homeopathic references are simply reiterations of earlier references. Almost all the information seems to be derived from crude ingestions of cobweb, with no formal proving of potencies. Confusingly spider silk appears under three names: either as Tela araneae, Tela aranearum or Aranearum tela. I hope and recommend that this confusion be settled in favor of Tela araneae, and that the reportorial abbreviation be simply Tela. This will help avoid confusion with the other aranea remedies which are prepared from whole spiders, and will serve to put the emphasis ou the web-ness of this remedy.'

Taxonomy: Viruses; ssRNA viruses; ssRNA negative-strand viruses; Mononegavirales; Rhabdoviridae; Lyssavirus; Rabies virus Rabies is a much dreaded highly infectious virus that attacks the nervous system in mammals. It is generally transmitted via body fluid transfer (saliva, blood, biting, mucous membranes of the eyes, nose, mouth, body part transplants, etc.) In humans it is usually contracted from the bite of an animal. The animal may be exhibiting uncharacteristic behaviour such as uncoordinated, staggering walking, violent movements, abnormal behaviour, e.g. a wild animal acting tame, a tame pet acting aggressive or threatening, malaise or mania, depression, etc. The virus enters the bloodstream and moves to the nervous system and travels to the brain through nerves. Once in the brain, the virus reproduces and then travels along the nerves back to the rest of the body. Symptoms can remain undetected for up to several years. But once the virus reaches the brain and spinal cord the host will begin to display symptoms (called "mad dog"). The salivary glands will produce of large amounts of saliva, there will be headache, flu-like symptoms, confusion and submissive behaviour, agitation, hallucinations, violence and delirium, and eventually coma. The disease is usually fatal within a week of symptoms appearing. The host can be saved if treatment is given before symptoms appear (vaccination), once they appear there is very little hope of survival. PhotoHydrophobia, digital graphics© 2007MarasRovnak 114

Moschus are solitary though sometimes occur in small groups of a female with her young within the territory of a male. Sometimes the group includes young males up to 2 years old; submissive to the adult male, but actively participate in making and forcefully protecting common territory. Primarily active at dusk and dawn, while foraging they travel 3-7 km per night, generally returning to the same spot (a "lair") every morning. They inhabit between 200 and 300 hectares in size, sticking to the boundaries steadfastly. Lichens are the main part of their diet- up to 99% in winter. Males secrete musk from a preputial gland (the "musk-pod"). It is the basis for many perfumes, and is highly valued for traditional medicines. Each male produces only around 25g of musk. Although musk can be extracted from live animals, most "musk-gatherers" kill the animals to remove the entire sac which is trimmed and dried. In 1855, around 81,200 sacs were collected; in 1927, only 5,089. An estimated 25,000 adult males were killed through harvesting and illegal hunting between 1990 and 200 I and are now extinct in some areas. As trapping is often indiscriminate of sex and age, four to five Siberian musk deer are estimated to be killed per musk-pod harvested (Green, 1987). Moschus was listed as endangered by the USDI (1980). As cheaper, synthetic alternatives for making perfumes are becoming more popular, use of musk in the perfume industry is decreasing, but its value for cardiac, circulatory, respiratory and impotency traditional medicines increases. Despite their status poaching continues and numbers decrease. Nyambayar, B., Mix, H. & Tsytsulina, K 2008.

As the practice of homeopathy evolves the methods of case-taking, research, and analysis become simultaneously more simplified and increasingly more sophisticated. Homeopaths need new ways of viewing the remedies, a linear model is no longer solely sufficient and an additional •• new integrated model is now imperative. 'Ii''....· •

Mind maps are a multi-dimensional concept which allow tne homeopath to view the remedy in an holistic and visual form. Alicia Lee has created her mind maps using the key group analysis concepts of Rajan Sankaran and Jan Scholten in a unique structure allowing the picture to unfold in an intuitive, logical and natural manner. This gives us an alternative to the previous form of definition, with the old familiar pictures to which we are accustomed, and allows for key concepts to be highlighted and primary symptoms to arise from a central scaffold and unfold in a cascade. This form also allows a full view to be seen at a glance and the relationship of symptoms to emerge in an engaging and easily assimilated way. Images also assist us to give texture, tone, emotion, sensation and energy to the remedy picture and photographs are a simple and effective way of achieving this. The images on these mind maps are vibrant and powerful and assist in bringing the mind maps to life. Presented in three volumes - Remedies of the Animal Kingdom, Remedies of the Mineral Kingdom and Remedies of the Plant Kin-gdom'Homeopathic Mind Maps' are an inspired and valuable new resource for homeopaths to use in their everyday practice.

Jonathan Shore: http:ll"l-V» w.minimum.comlbbl 1

...the bird family as a whole lies somewhere on an axis between the cancer and tubercular centers of gravity. Some are more cancer, i.e. the pelican, some have a more tubercular flavor like Buteo but I believe each must be evaluated in its own right - for example the penguin has a distinct leprosy feel to it. Jonathan Shore: Leading Voicesin Homeopathy;http://www.minimum.com/bb/

A bird is said to have laid the cosmic egg from which the universe was born. They are psychopomps, conductors of souls to the spirit world, frequently seen in mythology all around the world as representing the disembodied soul; often depicted sitting on, or hovering above, a man's head signifying either the soul residing in the head or the spirit leaving the body - in Christian art it is the Holy Spirit. A shaman can change into a bird, or be accompanied by a bird, to journey to the realms of the spirits, covering vast expanses of time and space in this journeying. Birds are often associated with deities. They are tricksters and oracles, advisors or messengers of the gods, liaisons between gods and humans, as well as guardians, assistants, companions and guides_ 10

Macaws are monogamous and 'mate for life'. A mated pair are very affectionate and will groom, and lick each other's faces, and fly wingtipto-wingtip. They are rarely separated except to gather food while their (female) partner incubates the eggs. Each pair raises 1 - 4 chicks each season, nesting in the cavity of a tree for up to two years. The newly hatched chicks are helpless until they grow their flight feathers and become fledglings. They require about 75 days to mature and can live for 80 - 100 years. They flock together at night to sleep. Parrots are often 'left-footed' just as humans are generally 'right-handed'; they use their left foot to hold food while they peel or crack it open with their extremely strong beak. Macaw will flock to river banks to lick the clay banks; scientists believe that the clay assists in the digestion of toxins found in the pre-mature fruits they eat. The parrot family is ancient and there have been no fossils found to identify their closest relative. After electrophoretic analysis of eggshells and egg whites scientists currently believe that the pigeon is the parrot's closest relative. (1) Mythology: Kinich Kakmo (Sunface Fire Macaw) was a Sun deity. He is depicted with a human body and a macaw head and carries a burning torch - a symbol of drought or burning heat - in each hand. He was the patron god of Izamal and it is said that he descended each day to the city in the form of a macaw to burn (consume) the sacrifices. The Mayan sun god was a patron of health and associated with the number 4. Parrot has an association with hallucinogenic drugs and assist in the journeying of the shaman. Mexican artworks depict a two headed human - but the heads are macaws. These supernatural beings are thought to be shaman journeying. Macaw medicine: conscious communication, pair bonding, bringer of rain, guidance and wisdom, and mockery. (2) Sen. as if drugged/stoned/high on marijuana Sens. of just being there Consciousness of individuality Tranquillity Everything feels wonderful

Feathers·ofthe mac~w were most highly prized (by Pueblo Indians) for ceremonial purposes and they were also very difficult to procure. The feathers, and also live birds, were obtained from Mexico in former times. Runners were sent to the south to bring back many brilliantly coloured feathers of this prized bird in exchange for skins and turquoises. The Kachinas (stylized religious icons, meticulously carved from cottonwood root and painted to represent figures from Hopi mythology) are said to "wear macaw feathers because the macaw lives in the south and they want the macaw to bring the rain from the south".(3) The word 'Macao' comes from Portuguese macau; macauba, a kind of palm tree.

Symbolism: Owl brings wisdom us prophetic powers, messages and omens through dreams and meditation, assists with clairvoyance, and clairaudience, astral projection (transcending time and space), reveals unseen truths, deception and truth withheld, and is associated with darkness, death, and both black and white magic. Connected to night and the moon (Sens. to the moon] she is a feminine symbol. Associated with the underworld and the goddess called 'Queen of the night', the 'night eagle' (Eagle is associated with the sun) has no fear of the darkness; she teaches us to see within ourselves as well as within others, to face our own self-deception and recognise deception in others. She moves silently, and has been called 'cat with wings'; her feathers are sometimes called 'deceivers feathers', perhaps because she is also a great shape-shifter. She is not a bird that circles in the sky in search of prey, she sits, almost invisible, in a tree in silence and watches; patience is one of her lessons. She is often associated with the Crone aspect of the Goddess. The Queen of the Night, Ereshkigal (or Lilith), was attended by Owls and Owls' is a medicine used by sorcerers, and those who work with the dark arts. There are many dark superstitions about Owl all over the world but we mustn't misunderstand, or fear, the nature of darkness or magic; those who are unwise abuse it, but she is actually a ~bol of wisdom and her message is about embracing and knowing the nature of darkness whilst living in the light of knowledge &(ttiith. She can assist with the development of insight into the motives of others and is often feared by those who hide, or are afraid to acknowledge and face, their dark nature. She encourages us to overcome resistance and self-delusion an~o (ace this shadow self. truths in her ear when she Owl sat on the shoulder of Pallas Athena, goddess of wisdom and the night, and whispered wisct611U1nd needed assistance. She sat on just one of her shoulders, her dark side bringing illumination so,that Athena could see and speak the full truth. Her message is that it is dangerous and counter-productive to try to short-cut the journey to selfhood by using black magic. Owl flies towards the truth, showing us the way, and through truth comes wisdom. (JJ

Britain's largest pigeon is considered a pest. They destroy crops and because of the abundance of food available to them there is an overpopulation problem. They are hunted by man for food and sport. On the other hand, dove has been embraced as the symbol of purity, grace, and unconditional love and tenderness, incapable of malice, a universal symbol of peace and innocence, and of the Holy Spirit, an attribute of the goddess of fertility; and a symbol of love between man and woman. It was a dove that Noah released from his ark; when it returned with an olive branch in its beak he knew the Flood had ended and the world was renewed. The bible has many references to doves either as symbols of the embodiment of the Holy Spirit - often described or illustrated as descending, or as a sacrifice. It is also a symbol of baptism, especially of Christ, also of the ascension of Christ, and a symbol of the hope of resurrection. "Dove" is used tenderly several times in the sublime Song of Solomon; as the perfect bride, and as an embodiment of beauty. " ... doves, also played an important role in Minoan belief. According to a current interpretation, doves could be understood as embodiment of a divinity, a representation of a goddess in a bird form nearby her sacred place - a shrine or on a tree. From the Early Minoan period the libation vases and amulets or models in bird form were used for a ritual purpose. We can observe a shape of birds even among the signs on the famous Phaistos Disc. The clay models of birds and their images o'fltlle ritual vessels are also amongst the regular furnishings of the shrines like those at Knossos, Goumia or at Karphi. The type of these birds has been a subject of long discussions between scholars, but usually they are considered as repr~enting doves.(])'' A symbol of 'the goddess' in Neolithic Europe Dove is associated with the Mother goddesses, the Divine. feminine (many of whom are the same entity evolved with different names) such as Atargatis (Queen of Heaven), Canaanite Asherah (Iron age: also called Athirat), Astarte, Phoenician Tanit (Tanith), Roman Venus, Persian Ishtar, and Egyptian Isis, Aphrodite and her mother Dione, and Athena as well as Mary the Holy Spirit (Queen of Heaven). Both male and female doves produce a 'crop-milk', a secretion from the lining of the crop (croup), which is a thick, curdish-looking, very protein and fat rich food which they feed to their newborn chicks, other than flamingos they are the only bird known to do this. Perhaps this is one reason why they are so closely associated with the goddesses. 'According to ancient Scottish legend the devil and witches can tum themselves into any bird shape except the dove.(])' (I) Dr Alena Trckova-Flamee, Ph.D, http://www.pantheon.orglarticlesld/dove_goddess.html

Recognized as one of the most 'intelligent' birds, and one of the oldest of the animal spirits, Raven is also considered one of the most charismatic and powerful, a magician; transporting the magic in healing circles, and is both benevolent and malevolent. Appearing in mythology around the world, in North America Raven is frequently represented on totem poles in North America, sometimes with a sun halo around his head, or a small sun in his mouth. He is seen as a deity and legends say that he created the world. Raven will have you in fits of laughter while he distracts you from the fact he is tricking you into doing something for him that you may not actually want to do, and which may cost you dearly. He is the great shape-shifter, and uses his ability to deceive others into doing as he wishes. He stole the Sun, the Stars and the Moon, as well as fire, and brought about the flood which began the end of the Age of Animal Beings and brought about the Age of Humans. He is said to have a fondness for humans and is very protective of them. He brought light and frre to the early people and gave them salmon so they wouldn't starve, he brought water in times of drought (it is said by some that the Northwest peoples left food out on the beaches in homage to ravens). On the other hand he is greedy and egotistical, a trickster and a thief. He is the jester and loves to laugh, even ifhe is the butt of his own jokes. He teaches us the value of laughter, of joy, of curiosity, and is an inspiration to share that with others. He is capable of inspinrtgi awe and terror, although always there is that twinkle in his eye and the knowledge that it can be only moments before he says something that will inspire laughter, albeit often irritated or uncomfortable laughter as he hits the nail squat'e.lyon the head. Demiurge and trickster, creator and scavenger, giver and thief, hero and villain - and often at one i!'nd.ihesame time. (I) Within the midnight blackness of his feathers which hold such deep sadness resides also a phenomenal'JighJ and overwhelming joy. Raven is a primordial spirit who birthed the cosmic egg and links us with the creative forces that brought the world into being. Black/White Strong sense of compassion for animals, esp. skunks

The Bald Eagle is a large, majestic, fierce looking bird with a wingspan that can reach over 2 metres. The lordliest of all the totems, a masculine energy, he is the spirit who soars on the wind, flying closest to the Great Spirit, and inspires us to aspire to attain these heights as well. Eagle is connected to all five elements, but predominately air (East Wind) which represents the mental plane; it is through the mental plane that we travel to access higher consciousness. Of all birds he is the one most associated with the vocation of shaman. We must have the courage of Eagle to conquer our fear and to set our Will to pass through the trials until we complete the journey. Our task is to bring both the light and the dark, illumination and shadow, to perfect balance, to embrace both; to embrace our Self and come to a state oflove, to Grace. Eagle flies highest of all but is also in touch with the earth, in balance and grounded, in harmony with the nature of his lower environment and his earthly self. Eagle is a master of inner vision, far sight, observation, having an overview oflife, intuition, psychic energy, spiritual insight, deep wisdom, a strong sense of selfbelief, self-discipline and confidence. Eagle symbolises passion, devotion to family, nobility, grace, endurance, strength, energy, and leadership. As with all birds he carries messages from the Great Spirit, assists with spiritual development and creative . manifestation. But Eagle medicine is not available to all, it is earned through initiation, consciousness, discipline and dedic'ltion along the path to selfhood, only then is one allowed to possess his feather and access his mighty powers. This is mirrored in the fact that today eagle feathers are as protected as eagles themselves; in the U.S. only members offederal~eepgnized tribes are allowed to possess eagle parts and are only able to do so after a lengthy and complex process to·bbtain a permit from the federal government. It is a serious federal offence to possess even a single feather without a perm.it Diana Roth: www.animalspirits.com

'Tyto alba' means 'white owl'. Barn owls are the most widespread of all owl species (Burton, 1984), and are found on every continent except Antarctica generally at low elevations in open habitats, such as grasslands, deserts, marshes and agricultural fields. There are up to 35 subspecies of Tyto alba. Owls are found in many, many myths and legends. They are symbols of magic, wisdom and prophecy, as well as messengers of death. http://animalsjrank. orglpages/794/Barn-Owls-Tytonidae-GEOGRAPHIC-RANGE.html

Loss of appetite in neuralgia < right-sided The name 'Ladybird' or 'Ladybug' arises from the vernacular name for the common 7-Spot Ladybird (Coccinella 7-punctata) in Europe: Our Lady's Bird, the 'Lady' in this case being The Virgin Mary. The red base colour of the elytra is said to represent her cloak and the 7 black spots to represent the Virgins' 7 joys and 7 sorrows. Relating Ladybirds to the Virgin Mary is not unusual, in his book 'History of the Ladybird: With some Diversions on This and That' (1989) Dr. A.W. Exel! cites 329 common names for the Ladybird from 55 countries, of which over 80 refer to the Virgin Mary and more than 50 are dedicated to God. Contrarily one Italian name is 'Galineta de! Diaolo' or 'The Devils Chicken.' Other names include the Swedish Himel ska nyckla or 'The Keys of Heaven' and the Cherokee 'Great Beloved Woman.'

The cochineal lives on the pads of cactus, covered by a protective cottony mass which they secrete. The insects are brushed off the cactus, killed with steam, hot water, dried in ovens & are crushed and used for bright crimson dye. Early Mixtecs, Mayans and Aztecs used the dye for body paint and a fabric dye that signalled social status. Spanish explorers in the 1550s brought cochineal from Mexico back to Europe. (1) Experiments are now showing that it enhances IgM production, prevents carcinogenic DNA damage in animals and is antithrombotic, antibacterial, estrogenic, and immunomodulatory.(2) The actual colour comes from carminic acid which the insect produces to deter predators. The carminic acid is extracted from the insect's body, nymph and eggs to make the dye. The dye has been used as colouring in food, drugs and cosmetics. It is said to contain a constituent also found in plant remedies used for coughs e.g. Drosera, Rumex, Stricta pulmonaria. In the U.S. it has shown up in pharmaceuticals esp. cough syrup, sausage, fish, shrimp, candy, pies, Jell-O, gummy bears, cheese, grapefruit juice, Kool-Aid, lipstick, rouge, and, of course, maraschino cherries. Red Dyes 2 and 40 currently used in cherries are being evaluated as potential carcinogens and cochineal is being reconsidered as a possibly safe cherry colorant. A small percentage of people are allergic to carminic acid, but probably no more than that are allergic to Red Dye 2 or 40. If you see 'E 120' on a food label ingredient list it contains cochineal. Different salts of carminic acid are still used in the food industry. The insoluble calcium carmine and ammonium carmine are used in alcoholic beverages, cheeses, various desserts and sauces. Water-soluble forms appear in alcoholic drinks. The Hyperactive Children's Support Group recommends carminic acid, its salts and other cochineal (J) www.as11.ed11htudentaffairslhealth/pharmacy/thepharside/; entities for elimination from children's diets.(/) (2)Etkin2006,Appendix Kuramoto etal 1996,Takahashi etal.2001 Photo©2005Liz Sungwwwjlic/a·.com/photos/liz_sung/ 27

The name 'Culex musca' has been used historically in homeopathy; the word 'musca' refers to the housefly, but I can find no evidence that it refers to a species of mosquito. 'Mosquito' (Spanish for 'little fly') was adopted to replace the term 'biting flies' to prevent confusion with the house fly. lt is derived from the word musca (Latin 'fly', cf. Sanskrit 'makshi') which was a generic term referring to humming flies (including bees). It's related to the Italian 'moschetta', the French 'moustique', Spanish, Portuguese and Italian 'mosca', French 'mouche, Slavic and Russian' mucha'. (Note: Agaricus muscaria is 'Fly agaric' from the same root) 28

Ant Medicine: Patience, Stamina, Planning. Energy and patience needed to complete work and is perfectly content to plod away at the job, or the dream, knowing that it will be accomplished. Communal living: Ant is not worried that he won't get his share, he knows that what you need will come to you, he trusts that the Universe will provide and is willing to share with others. Ant also stores for the future, as he is prudent and a great planner. But Ant is not a fool and does not respect those who are greedy and take more than their share or are not working for the good of all; if Ant is not wary they will take advantage of him. Ant teaches us to trust, to be patient, to work hard and know that you will be rewarded in the end. Diana Roth: www.animalspirits.com 30

Medusa means "sovereign female wisdom": in Sanskrit it's Medha, Greek Metis, Egyptian Met or Maat. Medusas' images in Old Europe begin several thousand years prior to her reinvention in classical Greek myth. In the Upper Palaeolithic, her power is represented in labyrinth, vaginal, uterine, and other female designs. Throughout the Neolithic period her forces are symbolized by the female figure positioned in holy postures and gestures of empowerment with the presence of animals, primarily birds and snakes with whom she is intimately connected. These images appear in the Mediterranean area and continue to extend into the late Bronze Age of Minoan Crete, (1600 BC) where she is represented as the refined serpentgoddess-priestess. (Modem copied image of the serpent goddess-priestess Ariadne and the original serpent-goddess-priestesses found at the Palace ofKnosso? in ivory and gold, and infaience). She was worshiped in Libya by the Libyan AmtzQns as their Serpent-Goddess. Medusa (Metis) was the destroyer aspect of the Great Triple Goddess also called Neith, Anath, Athene or Ath-ennartn N,orth Africa and Athana in 1400 BC Minoan Crete, and Kali in Hindu:- . -·· It was believed that no one could possibly lift her veil, and that to look upon her face was to glimpse ones own death as shtsaw your future. She symbolizes the following: Sovereign female wisdom, The female mysteries, All the forces of the primordial Great Goddess: The Cycles of Time as past, present and future, The Cycles of Nature as life, death and rebirth, She is universal Creativity and Destruction in eternal Transfonnation, She is the Guardian of the Thresholds and the Mediatrix between the Reahns of heaven, earth and the underworld, She is Mistress of the Beasts, Latent and Active energy, Connection to the earth, The union of heaven and earth, She destroys in order to recreate balance, She purifies, She is the ultimate truth of reality, The wholeness beyond duality, She rips away our mortal illusions, Forbidden yet liberating wisdom, The untameable forces of nature, As a young and beautiful woman she is fertility and life, As crone she consumes by devouring all on the earth plane, Through death we must return to the source, the abyss of transformation, the timeless realm. We must yield to her and her terms of mortality. She reflects a culture in harmony with nature. Birds appear on her head or shoulder, signifying her generative as well as the death wielding powers of her dark, crone aspect. They also represent the heavens of the sky. Snakes coil around her arms, legs or are entwined in her hair and are shown whispering into her ear. The serpent is a totem of the cycles oflife, death and rebirth and the seasons. It is the connection to the fertile earth and to the underworld. It also symbolizes immortality as it was thought to shed its skin indefinitely.

Salmon's pathway along the sacred waters goes inwards and upwards. No obstacle is so great that Salmon can't overcome it - the goal must be reached. And when it is reached we learn that actually, we've always been home. Force is not necessary, we can simply tum our vision easily toward the inner source and we are there - one of Salmon's biggest lessons is that it requires tremendous discipline and focus to meet the challenges which result in a new birth of wisdom and growth, but at the same time it is important to know that home is always just there, within us.(]) Professions: priest, nun, spiritual counsellor, teacher, genealogists.

Described by MacFarion, its prover, as: "...found in Cuba and Mexico. It belongs to the same family as the Tarantula hispana" Clarke: "Mygale cubensis. Aranea peluda. Cuban Tarantula" Lippe: "large, dark-brown and hairy spider of Cuba" ... descriptions indicate that it is not of the same family as Tarantula hispanica (the Lycosidae, or wolf-spiders), but rather is a new-world Tarentula, a Mygalomorph. Will Taylor, MD 2002;http://wwtt-'.wholehealthnow.com/homeopathyyro/wtl 5g.html

[Aranea peluda translation: hairy spider; it is not the name of a species. A.L.] While it was being shipped (by Hering) to the U.S.A. the container it was in was broken. The preserving alcohol ran out and when it arrived at it's destination it was rotted. The rotted spider was then proven by MacFarion. 83

Kleptomania

An ancient remedy: webs were put on cuts and wounds to stop bleeding; used as a plug to the nostrils in cases of long-continued and obstinate epistaxis. After getting a cut the body naturally produces fibrinogen, which is like a web and creates a barrier to stop bleeding. 'References to spider silk can be found in Clarke, Anshutz, Yingling, Hughes, and others, but to date there has been precious little original information available on it. Most entries in the homeopathic references are simply reiterations of earlier references. Almost all the information seems to be derived from crude ingestions of cobweb, with no formal proving of potencies. Confusingly spider silk appears under three names: either as Tela araneae, Tela aranearum or Aranearum tela. I hope and recommend that this confusion be settled in favor of Tela araneae, and that the reportorial abbreviation be simply Tela. This will help avoid confusion with the other aranea remedies which are prepared from whole spiders, and will serve to put the emphasis ou the web-ness of this remedy.'

Taxonomy: Viruses; ssRNA viruses; ssRNA negative-strand viruses; Mononegavirales; Rhabdoviridae; Lyssavirus; Rabies virus Rabies is a much dreaded highly infectious virus that attacks the nervous system in mammals. It is generally transmitted via body fluid transfer (saliva, blood, biting, mucous membranes of the eyes, nose, mouth, body part transplants, etc.) In humans it is usually contracted from the bite of an animal. The animal may be exhibiting uncharacteristic behaviour such as uncoordinated, staggering walking, violent movements, abnormal behaviour, e.g. a wild animal acting tame, a tame pet acting aggressive or threatening, malaise or mania, depression, etc. The virus enters the bloodstream and moves to the nervous system and travels to the brain through nerves. Once in the brain, the virus reproduces and then travels along the nerves back to the rest of the body. Symptoms can remain undetected for up to several years. But once the virus reaches the brain and spinal cord the host will begin to display symptoms (called "mad dog"). The salivary glands will produce of large amounts of saliva, there will be headache, flu-like symptoms, confusion and submissive behaviour, agitation, hallucinations, violence and delirium, and eventually coma. The disease is usually fatal within a week of symptoms appearing. The host can be saved if treatment is given before symptoms appear (vaccination), once they appear there is very little hope of survival. PhotoHydrophobia, digital graphics© 2007MarasRovnak 114

Moschus are solitary though sometimes occur in small groups of a female with her young within the territory of a male. Sometimes the group includes young males up to 2 years old; submissive to the adult male, but actively participate in making and forcefully protecting common territory. Primarily active at dusk and dawn, while foraging they travel 3-7 km per night, generally returning to the same spot (a "lair") every morning. They inhabit between 200 and 300 hectares in size, sticking to the boundaries steadfastly. Lichens are the main part of their diet- up to 99% in winter. Males secrete musk from a preputial gland (the "musk-pod"). It is the basis for many perfumes, and is highly valued for traditional medicines. Each male produces only around 25g of musk. Although musk can be extracted from live animals, most "musk-gatherers" kill the animals to remove the entire sac which is trimmed and dried. In 1855, around 81,200 sacs were collected; in 1927, only 5,089. An estimated 25,000 adult males were killed through harvesting and illegal hunting between 1990 and 200 I and are now extinct in some areas. As trapping is often indiscriminate of sex and age, four to five Siberian musk deer are estimated to be killed per musk-pod harvested (Green, 1987). Moschus was listed as endangered by the USDI (1980). As cheaper, synthetic alternatives for making perfumes are becoming more popular, use of musk in the perfume industry is decreasing, but its value for cardiac, circulatory, respiratory and impotency traditional medicines increases. Despite their status poaching continues and numbers decrease. Nyambayar, B., Mix, H. & Tsytsulina, K 2008.

As the practice of homeopathy evolves the methods of case-taking, research, and analysis become simultaneously more simplified and increasingly more sophisticated. Homeopaths need new ways of viewing the remedies, a linear model is no longer solely sufficient and an additional •• new integrated model is now imperative. 'Ii''....· •

tt::.;.

Mind maps are a multi-dimensional concept which allow tne homeopath to view the remedy in an holistic and visual form. Alicia Lee has created her mind maps using the key group analysis concepts of Rajan Sankaran and Jan Scholten in a unique structure allowing the picture to unfold in an intuitive, logical and natural manner. This gives us an alternative to the previous form of definition, with the old familiar pictures to which we are accustomed, and allows for key concepts to be highlighted and primary symptoms to arise from a central scaffold and unfold in a cascade. This form also allows a full view to be seen at a glance and the relationship of symptoms to emerge in an engaging and easily assimilated way. Images also assist us to give texture, tone, emotion, sensation and energy to the remedy picture and photographs are a simple and effective way of achieving this. The images on these mind maps are vibrant and powerful and assist in bringing the mind maps to life. Presented in three volumes - Remedies of the Animal Kingdom, Remedies of the Mineral Kingdom and Remedies of the Plant Kin-gdom'Homeopathic Mind Maps' are an inspired and valuable new resource for homeopaths to use in their everyday practice.
