It is an "apocryphal" book of the Bible, (the main book of the christian
faith, if you are unaware) that was expurgated by the puritans in the
1600's. Personally, it is one of my favorite books of the bible. It speaks
a lot about the use of creation to heal, and the uses of herbs, etc...
guess the puritans kinda didn't like it since a lot of it sounded like
"witchcraft".
