I Remember Juliette de Baricli Levy
by Susun Weed
June 1, 2009
I met Juliette de Bairacli Levy almost three decades ago, but I remember our meeting as though it were yesterday. My heart beat fast as the glass door opened and the woman whose books I adored entered. Smiling broadly, both from delight and nervousness, I eagerly awaited her.
"I brought this for you," I said, offering her a weighty bag. Inside was a quart of goats' milk yogurt and a pound of goats' milk cheese -- made by me from the milk from my goats. It was the right gift at the right time, and Juliette warmed to me.
Our talks were many over the years we worked together. Most were about animals, some were about herbs, all were about the gifts of the Earth. Juliette and I shared a love of goats and a child-like delight in the miracles of life. We both bowed to no man-made rule, but spent our lives in strict obedience to Nature's laws.
I feel keenly grateful for Juliette's stance as a woman who found her own way. I feel deeply thankful for her friendship and mentorship. I feel profoundly humbled by her trust in me to publish her books and keep them in print. And I feel keenly, deeply, profoundly sad that she is no longer with us in her body.
I commit to keeping Juliette's words available to all who wish to drink from her well of knowledge and delight. She did delight in the beauty and wonder of the world and its creatures. In these times when major publishers are faltering, Ash Tree Publishing is thriving. Ash Tree Publishing will continue to provide access to Juliette's work, both in print and in modern formats.
Three of her out-of-print works are in line for publication. We anticipate presenting them to you in the very near future.
So Juliette lives on in our hearts and minds and through her books. And she will continue to live on, influencing new generations of herbalists.
Juliette de Bairacli Levy is the woman who was the greatest influence on my path as an herbalist. I hope she lives on through me.
LOVE LETTERS
submitted via email June 2009Thank you Juliette for your lovely books and for befriending and respecting my people-the Romanies,most of all for giving credit for the glories of nature to our Creator, may He continue to bless you and your family.
~ Linda LI was a teenager in the 70s when I discovered her books, Traveler's Joy and Nature's Children. I remember my copies of both books were in terrible shape, worn and tattered, but they were irreplaceable then, and I traveled everywhere with them. When my son was young, Nature's Children was my bible, and I was so thankful for such a wise, knowing voice to help me through his ailments. I will always be thankful that I had her voice when I was a young mother and traveler. She was able to live her life according to her principles, a strong example to us all. Rest in peace, Juliette.
With love and gratitude,
Wendy B.Juliette was truly a most noble soul to have graced a lifetime on mother earth with.
~ JaikaurMay Goddess and God be with Juliette's family during this time.
May you always walk in Beauty
Holleman FamilyWhat an amazing woman, and an amazing, full life! Like so many others, Juliette's herbal, Natural Rearing of Children, was one of the first I purchased when my oldest son, now 31, was a baby. It gave me the confidence I needed to trust my instincts at a time when the medical establishment was even more narrow-minded than it is today. It was an honor to finally meet Juliette, I think it was about three summers ago when she visited Conway, NH near where I live, and spoke at a small, locally-owned bookstore in the area (White Birch Books). Thank you for letting me know of her passing. She will live long in our memories and in her works.
Blessings,
Susan Meeker-LowryReading about Juliette's amazing life's work, I can say that she is now one of my saints. It is my hope that as her spirit settles in a blissful place that she can continue to guide us in our love of animals and life and the health that is our birthright if we claim it as she did. I hope to bless you in the work of my heart as you have blessed us, Juliette!
Zoe MatoffI am so sorry to hear of Juliette de Bairacli Levy's passing. Her "The Complete Herbal Book for the Dog" was the first on herbal medicine I read. That book not only saved the lives of my two dogs; it also launched me on the path to explore the world of herbs and natural healing and health. I will always be grateful to her for that and I am grateful to you for telling me about her life and her passing.
~PJNThank you for bringing the life of Juliette de Bairacli Levy to my attention. I did not know of her but feel we would have been kindred spirits. I am sorry to hear of her passing but glad she died peacefully. I plan on reading her biography, if there is one (?), and will check out her novels. It is because of strong women like Juliette that the world is a better place and valuable wisdom is passed down to new generations. Please give my condolences to her family and let them know that strangers are grateful to Juliette for her contributions. Best,

Please extend my appreciation to Juliette's family. I will not morn her death because she is not really gone from us, but instead be ever grateful for her life that she so generously shared with the world of us willing to listen to her wisdom. She opened up a miraculous world to me - one that was of my soul's ancient remembering - familiar and comfortable and safe and empowering. She nurtured the healer in so many of us.
Grateful and forever green,
JoanneWhat a herbal legacy she leaves behind for all of us! Thank you beautiful Juliette for your life and works.
May your spirit live on in the plants and animals who speak your name.
Blessings,
Kim CI am grateful to have the opportunity to send my heartfelt wishes to the family of Juliette de Levy Bairacli. I have only learned of her work in the past year but felt deeply touched by her life, wisdom and experiences. In reading her books and viewing her DVD which I have I felt so moved to do more for our “Mother Earth”.
What a joy she must have been to know personally! Her work has touched me in this short time so I can only imagine how it has influenced the lives of others who were blessed to know of her longer.
Please accept my love and blessings sent to you during this time of transition. What a beautiful lady she was and always will live on in my heart as a very courageous and strong Wise Woman.

BarbaraJuliette was a friend of my friends in Northern Israel. She made the best ever flower and herb tea which I used to buy from her. She was such a great person.
~ EldadWhat a beautiful image…and written sentiments as well. Didn’t know of her, but like her lots.
kOh blessed teacher and friend ! Much joy to know you!
May your journey to the pure land be swift and unheeded .
Your wisdom and knowledge will continue in the lives of those you
have touched and those yet to come.
We thank you for sharing your wit, humor and friendship over the years.
Love, White Feather, Dan and Teresa MaeWe are blessed because Juliette lived and loved by her passion for life and the natural way and order of this planet. Blessings be to all of us who were touched by her wisdom and learned trade, that a woman's work and passion never goes wasted and her cry's for compassion always heard. Reaching out with our spirits in united freedom that we may all join forces in loving wisdom always. May her journey home be as blessed as her life on earth.
I will plant a tree in honor of Juliette's life...Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti -
DawnI love you
I will miss you
I thank you from the bottom of my heart
SwanieJuliette's book, The Illustrated Herbal Handbook, was the only herbal book I had for years and years. I raised my children with the help of this wonderful book and it never, ever, let me down. 'What does Juliette say' became a common phrase in our household, and indeed, still is. Juliette, athough she never knew us personally, was a close and valued member of our family.
When we, as a family, became goat-herds, once again Juliette never let us down with all the knowledge contained in her 'Herbal Handbook for Farm and Stable'. I have stories and stories which I tell about Juliette's wonderful healing ways, which she shared with us by writing her books. Only recently bought another copy of her 'Farm and Stable' for neighbours who also came to trust her completely for the care of their very valued horses. I considered it a real privilege to have been able to introduce her to them.
Full of sorrow that the world is so much poorer for her passing. She lived to a great age, a wonderful emissary and example of her work with, and knowledge of the plants, which she so generously shared.Wish to express my deepest sympathy to her children and to her extended family and to all those who cared about her and for her, in her last years. May God/Goddess go with her as she continues on her journey of Spirit.

love and peace, JulieWe love you Juliette and we thankyou for your Spirit and all you have done and given to us All.
With Love,
JanisDear Juliette, family and friends,
Thank you for the love and wisdom you preserved for us! I had no sooner completed reading the Complete Herbal Handbook for Farm and Stable while living in England, but my neighbor's old cow took ill. The vet's efforts were ineffective and I was allowed to assist in caring for her.She responded so well to the herbal treatments that the veterinary doctor came to my kitchen each day, at no fee for house call, to watch my preparations for the precious animal. Yes, he was amazed and happy to learn.
Juliette de Bairacli Levy, your name has always rung in my mind with a special reverence and tenderness. How I would have enjoyed attending a seminar with you! Please accept my loving good wishes for your family!
Blessings,
KathyHow grateful I am to have been one of the many touched deeply by Juliette, her work and her magnificent spirit. My deep love and passion for the green world was touched and molded in so many ways from and by her. May peace and beauty surround her and love take her home.....
May we continue the work she initiated in recognizing, protecting and celebrating the GREEN WORLD.....
Peace, SukiI would like to send my love to the family of this amazing woman who has so inspired me.....thankyou Juliette.
all my love SuzyJuliette added much joy and skill to my life and the life of my four-leggeds, I bow to the garden her living the herbal life and how it nurtured me.

Wales, United KingdomJuliette's books have been bibles for me. Have been reading them again just recently and was wondering how she was doing, wondering if we were still lucky to have her gracing the planet.
Always dreamed of having a chance to meet her. She is a hero for me and a continued source of inspiration....
So grateful to have been touched by her writings....she will live on eternally.....
Jessica E.May her words and stories take roots and flourish as the plants she loved and nurtured.

I 'VE HAD THE HONOR TO SIT BY JULIETTE A FEW YEARS AGO AND HEAR HER STORIES AND WORDS OF WISDOM. AND SINCE HAVE "TRAVELED" WITH HER ON MANY A WILD WOMAN'S JOURNEY TO FAR AWAY PLACES AND FAR AWAY IDEAS THROUGH HER BOOKS.
THANK YOU
JANETJuliette de Bairacli Levy was such an inspiration to me. Her courage and wisdom and humor, and vast knowledge which she so lovingly shared with the world will long last as a beacon for all of us to follow. She was truly a role model for herbalists, healers, mothers, and animal lovers all over the world.
Maya Sarada Drummond
VermontAs a back to the lander in the 1980's her Herbal Handbook for everyone was my bible. And more than that, was the voice that came through her writings, like my own mother who had passed on, Juliette de Bairacli Levy allowed me to feel that I knew all this already and was just remembering it again. And from that spark, I have continued to garden and farm and work with herbs in a way that feels simply true to the gifts of their life force rather than because of some chemical combination or scientific report. I teach my classes that way, acting as guide rather than expert, preferring anecdotes to diatribes. I can never forget the first time I opened her books and thought: here is someone I could spend hours learning from and never get tired of listening to her. Ah the verdant fields she is tending now! Thank you for being a part of my life, my children's lives and my gardens.

SueOne of the most profound and early influences in my Life was Juliette.
My first dog was named Rafik - my friend.
I saved the life of a number of dogs through Juliette's teachings.
I raised Nature's Children - her influence.
I empathized with Romany and Bedouin - through Juliette.
I travelled to Isreal because of her.
I now work with the spirit of the horse because of her early influence.
May her spirit be ever with those who loved her. Blessed Be.

I don't think that any of us who live with herbs would have as much knowledge of them and their power/gifts if not for Juliette. A great one has passed on, but in the proper way of things it is a part of the continuing circle of life and we celebrate that those on the other side now have her to nourish them.

I am so grateful she has left behind her books and her stories.
Alison, Mendocino CaliforniaAloha, The following is a bit of history on the profound effect Julliete had on my life...Julliete was a true inspiration in my life. We were in the outback of Southern California living naturally breeding and showing our beloved Borzois (Russian Wolf Hounds) At that time (70's) there were no difinitive books on natural care for dogs. Juliette's book, "Herbal Hanbook for Dogs" became a lexicon of wisdom for the rearing, whelping and care of our canine best friends. I am so indebtted to her as she catalyzed my life's journey of natural living, and trust in the healing forces of Nature.
Thank you so much of reminding me of the healing wisdom she shared, and her departure from our earthly plane will continue her comfort to us from other realms.
RJR Hawai`i Island.Thank you so much for this. I had my first afghan hound in 1970 and so, learned about her early on. I met my first Natural Rearing practioner, a saluki breeder, in the early 80s and was not smart enough at that time to make the switch but have had her farm and dog books for some very long time now. I think I will have to have the DVD soon so I can see who she was on film. I bet it is beautiful. Just the photos inspired me yet again. Debbie
What a sad day. I am deeply touched. Let’s try to lead a life close to nature and her writings, this will be the best thing to honor her memory.

Carol Parker SteinI can say nothing that hasn't been said a thousand times before. All I wish to say is how profoundly this amazing woman affected my life. I learned of her during my year-long professional studies herbalist training. The documentary was a lovely way to learn about Juliette, her life, her philosophy, her vast knowledge about herbs and other aspects of nature. A light has gone from our world to the otherworld. May they honor her as she deserves.

"One can measure the greatness & the moral progress of a nation by looking at how she treats her animals" Mahatma GandhiI find her departure stirs up all sorts of urgency in my self. We have such a responsibility to learn and carry on the wisdom of those like Juliette. It is a huge undertaking and I will honor her memory with herbal goodness and with a deep and inspired care to all our animal friends. May she be honored with an abundance of rosemary branches and may we all take a minute to travel in memory for her work just as she traveled to make her work possible.
Missing your earthbound presence, blessing your spirit that flies like your birds.

Board Certified Holistic Health PractitionerThank you for letting us all know about Juliette's next journey. She has been in my mind and heart now and then over the past couple of years especially, and I wondered when she would choose her time to go home.
I remember the only time I met Juliette; it was during my apprenticeship with Susun in the summer of 2003. I had been out with the goats and when they came home to sit in the shade at noontime, I saw a collection of intriguing people enjoying the weather on Susun's deck. I could tell something interesting was going on and I was so excited and delighted to meet Juliette, brief as it was. Although it was only a short introduction, I will always, always remember saying farewell as Juliette and her comrades were preparing to depart. As I shook her hand goodbye from where she sat in the back of the car, I remember looking into her eyes and feeling how wise and kind and full of life and love she was. I loved her eccentric clothes and hat and the calm smile she held on her face. And, I thought, yes!, what a wonderful model of a woman to learn from and live up to. Peace be with you, now as always, and enjoy this next part of the journey. Blessed be, -Crystal Childs

FrancineI have only just discovered Juliette of the herbs this month and dismayed that she passed so soon after my discovery of her. She has put the power of healing back into my hands, restored my faith that I can indeed heal myself, my family and my children. Her wise words will always have a place in my heart. May she rest in peace and always be remembered. Blessed Be,
Janine CobbI was at a market in Kythera with my 15 month old son. Somehow we met and later went briefly to her simple house there. I purchased one of her herbal books which she signed. Years later I found another of her books in a little bookshop in Alice Springs (Australia) – it was new. How amazing was that. I then discovered Susan Weed and was absolutely delighted when I discovered their connection. I feel blessed to have had that small connection – with her love of the earth, learning and the spreading of herbal lore/love for earth and its beings. Thankyou,
Linda TateBravo Juliette! Many seeds you planted...And so many will continue to reap!
Thank you for your labors of love!
~ LadyBearClaw~Mary SchinnererHaving just discovered this amazing lady and read her Handbook for Farm and Stable, I am saddened to hear of her passing. She must have been remarkable! My thoughts go out to her family. There is a small but strong group of women in South Africa who are putting her teachings into practice with our horses and dogs. Regards,
Andre LewarneI am writing to honour Juliette and her service to the humans and creatures of this earth for almost the entire 20th century and some of the 21st! Her books have been on my shelves since the 1980's and are well worn from continual paging. I hope my chldren will also choose to benefit from her wisdom after I've moved on (I am 75 today!).
Blessings to all her family and admirers.
Peggy Jacobsen (S.Africa)Having followed Juliette's remedies for my animals since the 1960s and read her books avidly, I would like to send my love and condolences to her family and friends and thank them for sharing her with the rest of us for so long.
Adele Kane (Mrs)It is with sadness and fondness that I hear of Juliette's passing. I have heard about Juliette's herbal wisdom since I was a child of about 7. My great-aunt (now 82) used her book about natural care for dogs and cats with all of her pets throughout her life. Every animal she kept bounded with health and lived to a ripe old age. Juliette's priniciples for a healthy, natural way of life were central to our family values when I grew up and were a big infulence on me later training to become a herbalist myself. As an adult I re-discovered her books in the last few years. They are so informative and such a joy to read. She did us all such a service.
Thank you Juliette. With love,
Vivienne Campbell (herbalist), her great-auntie Connie Goldie (for her cats and dogs) and her friend Marie Lynch (who uses Juliette's books for her farm animals)Namaste, My sister of earth!
Your wisdom and love will be missed!

Bless you Juliette. I remember you at 82 with your gypsy clothes and your outrageous shoes with all of the great herbalists at your feet.You were telling us about Self Heal. When someone said how they used it, we all waited patiently as you opened the journal on your lap and wrote down a new use that you had just learned.You were the grand dame , ... Read Moreour herbal elder,who had taught so many of us. You were our teacher but still wrote down this use for your collection of remedies. I am honoured to have been in your presence. Enjoy exploring the new gardens that now surround you. Love and Green Blessings Judy
Many blessing for her on her new journey

I remeber sitting with her and talking about parrots because she noticed the feathers I had on my hat,at the WHC years ago. She shyly showed me a tatto she has just gotten of a black bird on her shoulder and we adjusted her gypsy blouse shoulder sleeve so it would not irritate the fresh Ink! I remember she enjoyed White Russians, and triggered ... Read Morethe smoke alarm in the cabin with some candels! and we giggled about it later!! I have enjoyed her books and tapes and video over the years. She will be missed,, but her work and teachings will live on for generations. Thank You~ Grande Dame Grandmother Juliette

~ aucupariaSuch an odd reaction I've had to this. In one sense, we've LOST her and yet, of course, she is now EVERYwhere...and yes, she has gone HOME. The PLANTS are weeping and looking to all of us to keep on.......Juliette, your LIFE was just a wonder. Thank you SOOOO much for sharing so much of it with us. LadyB

Pauline Kthank you for this beautiful news. my tears overflowed and my heart is so full. what a celebration in the spirit world. wow. love,
annI am saddened to hear of the death of such a wonderful woman and herbalist as Juliette. I had the pleasure to meet her twice at the women's herbal conference in New Hampshire, and I have her video as well. Two of my herbal teachers, Rosemary Gladstar and Barbara Raab (Nardozzi) both loved and told stories about Juliette in their workshops. Juliette has been a great inspiration to me and many other wise women. It hits me especially hard as she passed on date of my tenth wedding anniversary. So a joyous even coincides of our marriage with her moving on into the plant spirit world.
Green Blessings, SimoneThough I never met Juliette in person she has touched my life in many ways. Her books continue to be a source of reference for herbal wisdom and her story continues to inspire me as a mother and as a woman who's heart wisdom is often not in allignment with the status quo. Thank you Juliette for following the path of your calling, and for sharing it with so many of us. Blessings on your next journey.

April CoburnJuliette's Book Herbal Handbook was twenty years ago the inspiration which bought me into the world of herbal medicine. Her practical wisdom of animals and their natural rearing and treatment provided the ground work we used to rear healthy children, organicically raised who are now healthy, vigorous and enjoying life to the full. It helped us care for and rear our animals and has resulted in a as a herbalsit which I love. I could never aspire to her commitment and knowledge but I can pay tribute to a remarkable lady and give thanks for her life and wish her family every blessing. Peace to you all, may perpertual life shine on her forever. Susan Allshorn Hamshire, England.
Juliette was a wonderful woman and herbalist, and although sad to hear of her passing, she made the most of her life. I was privileged to meet her in California a few years ago, which was a real highlight to me. With love.

MaricelaNinety-six years strong,
Juliette changed our world
With the courage to go her own way
Back to nature and to fellow wilder beings.
Gentle of manner and determined in action,
She lived adventures that instructed for the good.
She blithely ignored the blind strictures of society
While carefully paying attention to the tiniest creatures,
Assuaging their pain
With mosses, spider webs, roadside weeds
And her endlessly kindly gaze.
Mother of the wildwoman in my soul,
Boddhisattva,
I salute you as your make your triumphant rise
To the realms of pure spirit,
Leaving behind your example
To hold aloft as we continue
Living on the earth.

Elizableth LThank you for the brief immortalization of what seems like a fabulous human being. I am sorry to have missed knowing her or even knowing about her. Thanks you again for pointing her out.
DanitaI never knew of Ms. Levy until now and my thoughts and prayers are with you all. I am glad that she passed peacefully. From what I have just read she was an amazing woman and I'm sorry I never got to know her, but I will be ordering her books to learn more about her incredible research. Many blessings,
JulieI can only imagine the joy of the plants and spirits where she is now. She shared our earth for so long and touched so many, and her fun ways will always be with us. I remember years ago when I was on my way to Morocco and she cautioned me, "Be careful, my dear, Moroccan men are fabulous lovers!". To Juliette, her light, her wisdom, and her love of all things animal and plant.

sheila laingGreetings Dear Ones,
Our Mother, Our Grandmother, Our Friend , Our Teacher, The Beautiful Juliette has walked up that mountain to the crystal city. The circle of life has been completed and our Juliette is in the Arms of Wakantanka (The Great Creator or Great Mystery). She will live on in the stories we tell about her, the laughter and the book we read. Juliette will be there when we plant, when we sip on a cup of tea from our gardens. When we help an animal. She will be in every blade of grass and every sweet smell that the flowers brings to us. We thank you Juliette for all your help and for showing us the way. Mitakuye Oyasin (All My Relations)
Hedy VeneiaTo All the Family and Friends of Juliette de Bairacli Levy:
The congratulations of this message is for each and every one of you who personally knew and worked with this remarkable woman. Certainly, a biography is in the making somewhere, because her life history is fascinating and a testament to love and kindness which in this current world is surely lacking. And as we all know, all living things must finish their existence. It is one thing to pass on with some to no recognition. But to leave with the kind of purely positive regard Juliette achieved AND received is no small accomplishment. Those that knew her personally will miss her. Those of us who are recently making her acquaintance through her works are glad she was here to make her substantial contribution. With sincerity,
JoAnne Klein
Lebec, CaliforniaJuliette is the mother of herbalism. Now she will be the Goddess of Herbalism. She's on another phase of the journey. She will be missed, but she's not gone! I am so grateful that I lived in the same Earthtime as her! She has truly contributed a great deal! Thank you for the opportunity to for everyone to voice their feelings. I'm sure Juliette is amazed to know how much she is loved! Hope your weekend is going great!
lots of love,
sheila :)I met Juliette when I was 27. I sat at her feet as she stroked my hair (she liked its texture, apparently..) and told us (her friend Rosemary Gladstar’s apprentices) stories of her gypsy travels, of herbs and animals - especially her bees. I'm grateful for this sweet memory. Blessings to her family, and to everyone she touched.
AlisaI did not know this woman nor did I know of her, but I do now, and will always. That there was someone like Juliette in the world is a good blessing and her goodness and fine works will live on forever. She is one of the true great Healers. I know her spirit is peaceful and resolved and will continue on her trails wherever she is meant to be -
Amanda TreeWe're are extremely saddned to hear of the loss of Juliette de Bairacli Levy. We know of her through her wise and wonderful publications and treat ourselves, our animals and are garden the way nature intended us to do so. We often refer to her teachings and appreciate her dedication in her outreach efforts to educate us all and so that we are made more aware of the inderdependecy of people, plants and animals. We will say a special prayer tonight to celebrate her life, her great vigor and appreciation of our natural resources! Juliette is a legend and we will remember her through much of our lives!

Boni-Bel Organic Farm & Country StoreA wise womyn has returned to spirit but lives in my heart. For so many years I have used the books she wrote, have read of her travels and spoken of her to all I can and with the gorgeous film, Juliette of the herbs, I have shown it to so many people and worn out two copies! How can I write about this amazing womyn who touched so many of our lives, thank you doesnt seem enought, Juliette you inspired me and on the 22nd of August 09 I am walking 2,000 ks to speak out for the animals of earth. I am walking from my home in the Angus Valley of South Australia, up the old camel route to Alice Springs, the red centre, always speaking for the animals of earth, saying 'live in co-operation not exploitation." I am a Romani/Gypsy womyn who still travels in the old ways, the last of my people in this country to do so, by vardo and clydesdale taking two of my Scottish Deerhounds with me.I am going to also dedicate this long walk to you and your life. Any one interested can go to www.angustoalice.com I will continue to walk the talk for the non-humans of earth and to have courage from your life and all you gave to the animals. Thank you Juliette,
Red Catherine JohnsI have watched the video of Juliette's life many times and share it whenever I can. Her message is ever so important today. She inspires a return to simplicity and health. What a blessing that she was to the world.

www.dreamseedsorganics.comdeep gratitude for the announcement about Juliettte de Bairacli Levy. A fast bubble of grief rose up when I saw the picture. Juliette's life exemplifies freedom and self-reliance to me. Her way of living inspires me to be more courageous and independent and seeking in my own. Thank you for helping to keep her memory and teaching and simplicity alive.
Nancy MaurelliJuliettes beautiful spirit shines on through the plants and people
she loved so much~ May we all continue to bless this abundant earth
with our love as she was able to do so gracefully for many years~
Frances O'HI didn't know of her, but the picture I could see only in preview made me know something, and I kept the email until I had time to read properly. And because that is what I do with the wise woman emails. And I felt a connection to the woman in the picture, to the earth and the gypsies, to the desire to heal. Thank you Juliet. For connecting at the primal level.
Anne MarieWhat an amazing lady with such vision at a time when little was thought of animal experiments.
Her journey through life gathering herbal remedies from people who used herbs in so many different ways,the people who handed down their incredible knowledge through generations, a lifetime of learning and who are so ready to share that knowledge just as Juliette has shared so much with us. She has indeed left a remarkable legacy. Obviously a lady of great compassion leading the way with herbal remedies that cured many animals and prevented unecessary suffering.
As a person who believes fervently in the healing power of herbs having received treatment when conventional medicine could not help and know of many people who daily feel the benefits of herbs I say thank you to such a lovely lady for bringing herbs to our lives via her work, books and lectures and thank you from the unspoken, the animals who continue benefit from her wonderful remedies.
The world will be a poorer place without her, but the knowledge and wisdom she left for us will continue to help many animals. May God keep her in his tender care.

I never formally met Juliette, I only knew her through Susun Weed and Rosemary Gladstars writings and herbal teachings.Immediately from what I read about her I felt so much admiration for this unique woman. When I saw the video :Juliette of the herbs: for the first time I felt so connected to her. Whenever I feel Life closing in on me in my pursuit of herbal wisdom and or get discouraged, I pop in the video and get encouraged immediately. I know Juliette has left her mark here on this earth and has enriched many lives; my regret is that I did not get to meet her personally but its ok I have her books on my shelf so when I have a question she`s there in a way to help me along.
----Jean M
What a beautiful human you were! Thank you for sharing your life and your simple, loving ways with Humanity!
We are in deep need of your Essence and your Teachings, the teachings of the Earth and of earth based peoples. You have deepened my Husband's understanding of the Plant World! You and your dogs have intrigued my children and bring joy to their faces every time we watch your DVD.
Eternity of Gratitude to You and your Spirit!
In Love & Grace,

I cannot say how much this woman impacted my life as I was starting out homesteading. I relied upon her sound advice in the Farm Herbal, and it saved more than one goat that the local vet had given up on. Thank you Juliette, for loving us all enough to keep up the good work...Blessed Journey, Precious Lady.
Love,

Upon receiving the notice that Juliette has passed over, I went to my "special box" and withdrew all the letters I received from her. I was blessed to meet Juliette while I was living on the Island of Formentera in the early 70's. Sitting in the one place that served as a cafe, market and post office in the little village of La Mola, having a cup of tea, this vibrant, magical woman appeared before me with two Afghan hounds. The light surrounding her was shockingly beautiful and I pray to never forget this first impression for it was "a moment," an important one, in my youth. She introduced herself (and already knew my name from the farmer who's house I rented) and invited me to tea. That was the beginning of a long and loving friendship.
Juliette inspired me and brought back to me the many teachings of my own grandmother - herbs, diet and health - as well as aiding me as a seeker of Truth and as a woman. I helped her and could barely leave her side as our friendship grew on that small Island off the coast of Spain in the Mediterranean Sea.
Running to catch sheep so that we could apply a salve to their skin condition; the endless running to help farmers and their animals; making herbals - I especially thrilled in cooking in the huge cauldron on a tripod over open flame; helping cows and horses in rough deliveries of their babies; helping her deliver twins to a farmer's wife - that was unbelievable as the babies were breech; early morning walks to gather herbs before the dew fell upon them; and those long amazing daily swims with the dogs, too! Juliette and her dogs did not swim back and forth along the shoreline as I did, but rather straight out to sea and back.... at least a mile each day. I had been a lifeguard as a college student, so the first time I witnessed this, I swam like a mad woman to her and she was actually laughing... there she was swimming and laughing!
That was it - I was hers. We spent long days working, I felt like an apprentice and a helper; and long nights as I listened to her many fabulous stories and tales of her life and her adventures in learning about natural healing. I was oddly at home with her, there existed a sense of such strong connection with Spirit -I never wanted to leave! So, I stayed longer than I had planned, of course. And, I have always attributed this great blessing to my life long journey of self-realization; of being close to and a part of Spirit which is our natural state of existence. I knew this, but she lived it.
When I did leave Formentera, I was headed for Israel and Juliette gave me many herbals and perfumes to bring to her daughter, Luz, who was living there at that time. I remember upon leaving Formentera I was very distressed about leaving her as I had come to love her very dearly. She looked me straight in the eye and said, "Stop your crying, we will meet again in this life."
She had a way of saying things that could put me at ease in a flash. I thoroughly believed her.
I believed she did know because her connection to Spirit was that strong.
And, yes, in the mid-90's on one of her trips the the USA, I met her at a herbal conference in Western Massachusetts (where, oddly enough, I now live). It was a great delight for us both. When I told her it was me, she sprang off her chair, grabbed my hair and said "what happened to your beautiful hair?" (I have always had amazing hair - it was black, black as a youth when she and I met, and long - down to my knees. In the 90's, it was still long, but not so long and greying.... we were both 20 years older!) It became a source of laughter and a delight for me later. We talked about our past and she had me tell some stories to her audience of our time on Formentera together. It was a lovely and heartfelt reunion.
My life was inspired and forever changed by befriending and loving Juliette de Bairacli Levy and I will continue to hold her loving memory always as well as share my stories of her... until we meet again - Home. May the greatest of blessings surround and enrich the lives of those her cared for her as she made her journey homeward.
In Loving Memory of Our Friend and Great Wise Woman Juliette,

Everywhere there are mountains named (or renamed) for explorers, soldiers and statesmen. An older tradition names mountains for gods, goddesses, and hero(in)es. Thence, I hope somewhere a mountain or a valley is named for Juliette, so that her name and memory stay alive in the planetary village.

thank you so much for letting me know. Never met her, but I love her.

With tears in my eyes, I remember this amazing woman who mentored me and so many others through her work. I was blessed to discover her Herbal for Farm and Stable first, then her work on humans and especially children. To say that she changed my life and how I raised my own 3 children does not begin to describe the powerfu effect she has had in this world. I am glad to hear her passing was peaceful and she shall remain alive in my heart and thoughts forever. Blessed Be, Karyn Zaremba Bean Mtn Farms and Herbal Simplicity, Deer, Arkansas
PS I hope more of her works will be republished yet...she was an amAZING lady that's for sure...
much beloved, much appreciated, much missed...
~ caroleWhen I met Juliette years ago she was already an elder.
I was so happy to meet one of my herbal grandmothers, especially one who had led such a colorful, free-spirited life. I introduced myself to her and said, "I am one of your herbal granddaughters," and thanked her for her generous love of the plants and animals, and for all she had written. She beamed. I had an unusual "client" at the time, a wild mustang who had been rescued after his mother was shot. Juliette guided me to use lemon verbena with him for his nerves. The next time I saw her she was so happy to hear that her advice had been helpful. Two young apprentices were assisting me in the gardens and office when I heard that Juliette had just gone home to Spirit. I called them to join me. We lit a white candle for her. I told them a few marvelous Juliette stories and then said, "We will keep this candle burning till it's done. This honoring is for your herbal great-grandmother whom you've never met, but who nevertheless helped blaze the green path you are now walking." With love, gratitude, and green blessings to Juliette And healing blessings to her family,
Robin Rose BennettYou awakened things in me that I didn't know were there, and gave me of your wisdom and courage to follow them, when those around me were most unsupportive. I thank you, my dear departed Saluki thanks you, and my two grown, healthy, and gentle sons thank you. Thirty-three years ago I first encountered your books, and life was never quite the same.

Juliette de Levy Bairacli was a true inspiration. Only by reading of her
passing have i gotten a glimpse of what a truly magnificent life she was.
My great grandmother was a self-made herbalist and midwife in Europe, and I
and my children have heard of her stories. Thank you for letting me get to
know Juliette through her writings. May she live on in peace and nature.
Juliette, you plucked my soul from its teenage wanderings and set it on a straight course. Thirty-five and more years later, dear lady, I'm still sailing toward the bright star you showed me.
Now freed from its earthly container, Godspeed to your high holy soul.

A profound effect on my life and to question and not expect all the answers but to observe Mother Nature ... I am travelling Italy and love the knowlegde gained to recognise plants in the wild. Same as my two years in Tanzania ... passing on knowledge and always finding new ways or old to use our plants.
Ciao & many thanks for your wisdom.

Dear Mother Juliette, you will be deeply missed. I was discussing you just this week with my husband and children. You have shared your joy and passion for all things natural with so many. We will continue your good work. I pray you are in a glorious place, next to my grandmother who introduced me to herbs. Surely we will meet one day on the glorious shores.

What a loss to the world..........Juliette influenced a great many people
by just being herself. The video I have of her will be even more precious
now. May all who learned from her keep her light burning.

I never meet Juliette in body but I have know much about her and heard many great things over the years. She was on my list of heroines to meet in life, but now that she is no longer here in body I look farward to the time when all of us will get a chance to know each other in spirit. I send my love and condolances to her family and loved ones left behind and raise up my glass (of herbal infusion) to a woman who lived to the very greatest extent possible and knew the wisdom and joy of a life well lived.
She made such a diffrence to all of us, even those of us she never knew. Her life reached out and touched so many souls and spead so much wisdom and inspiration.
She will be missed. ~With much love,

My children's lives have been richer because of Juliette...mine too.

good morning from spain.
At the moment I regret the death of Juliette and her DVD is for
me something very precious but... I know it's okay and she left when she
wanted. A very cordial greeting and await your kind response.
Juliette entered my life through you Susun Weed, like the Wise Woman Tradition, an undercurrent occurring since the beginning of time. She travels through my spirit as a foundation of brilliance, joy and courage that I look to when I want validation of the wild spirit that I am. I hold on to her books and spread the word about her to the eager young women I encounter starting out on the path. It is a constant blessing to see the wonder in their eyes that I had encountering her for the first time. I see her light in their eyes. She will dwell in our spirits forever. I look forward to engaging her spirit often.
with much love to juliette and family her free spirited way of life is in essence perfection ~ linda
I was so saddened to hear of Juliette's passing, only for my own selfish reason that I will not see her here on this earth level again. Words of kindness, inspiration and good common sense were always what this Gypsy queen passed on to all of us who knew her. I was so privelaged to know her personally through the WHC and Rosemary....Juliette called me her personal doctor, when she was at our WHC gatherings. I was also lucky enough to spend time with her, to listen to her stories and to paddle her out to the teacher's sweat lodges across the lake and then attend the sweat lodge with her and the other magnificient women of the conference. Thank you Rosemary for bringing Juliette into my life through the WHC, and thank you to all the care givers and companions that came with Juliette so she could attend the WHC. I will always remember going into Juliette and Toshiko's cabin (they always used to room together) and tucking them both in at bedtime...what an honor and a joy. May we always remember the thread that Juliette has woven in each of our lives as part of the fabric of each of our quilt. With my breath of love I blow my spirit and love up towards the heavens to Juliette.
All my love to all my loves

I would like to let you know how grateful I have been for Juliette's Book "The Herbal Book for Dogs". It has been my constant companion through my 33years of breeding toy dogs. It encouraged me to turn to the alternative when it came to my children as they were growing up and I will be eternally grateful for her contribution into my life. My condolences to you all, at this time. How proud you all must be of her achievements. Words simply cannot express all I wish to say. It has been an honour to have found her and her book. Very Sincerely,
Dianne Paterson, Australia.
You have my sincere condolences in regards to the passing of your friend, Juliette.
Blessed Be.
