Paul Beyerl's Legacy Presented by Isaiah Dearborne and Rev. Charly McCreary The Master Book of Herbalism by Rev. Paul V. Beyerl, originally published in 1984, holds a special place on the bookshelves of herbalists and plant magic practitioners across the globe. His text The Compendium of Herbal Magick (1998) serves as a follow up text focused specifically upon magical and spiritual uses for 330 herbs and plants. Rev. Paul passed away on December 30, 2021 but his life’s work continues through those he entrusted to carry what he created forward for future generations. In this memorial presentation, Rev.
