Greetings and Felicitations!

My name is Deborah J. Martin but I'm generally known as "DJ". Straight up, I'm a witch (you can change the "w" to a "b" - I won't argue with you). I have always use herbs in my magical workings, which necessitates a lot of experimentation. More than that, for well over twenty years I've been studying medical herbalism, earning my Master Herbalist (Honors) diploma from the American College of Healthcare Sciences.

As a member of the American Herbalists' Guild and the Herb Society (UK), I keep up with all the new information coming out on the uses of herbs in a medicinal sense. My favorite pastime (apart from playing in the dirt of my large herb garden) is researching herbs: their medicinal and magical uses; and applications and stories about herbs in history/mythology.

I am fortunate enough to live in the mountains of north Georgia with my wonderfully-tolerant husband, several crazy cats and numerous woodland creatures.

The links on the right will take you to various places near to my heart ... books about herbs (mine and others), my blog, and some information for the media. Peruse and enjoy!
