Seed of Yggdrasill Review Part 1 and Being Drawn to Humorally Unbalanced Foods

Good Evening,

To any who observe it, a happy Lughnasadh! May you begin to enjoy the fruits of your work so far this year.

To Share: Hopefully of some interest to a few others here: I'm starting to work my way through Maria Kvilhaug's big ol' book The Seed of Yggdrasill. The very short version is that it's a good book full of helpful insights that could have been truly great with better editing and organization: https://jpowellrussell.com/#book_the_seed_of_yggdrasill_1_introduction_and_the_books_of_old

To Ask: Another question on humoral food characteristics: I know you're not an expert on this JMG, but if you (or anyone else) knows - is it common for folks of a certain predominant humor to have more fondness for foods that exacerbate it than they should? I think that I must have a Choleric disposition, and reading the list of foods cholerics ought to avoid in Humoral Herbal was practically a list of all my favorite things - fatty meat, salt, dairy, spicy, caffeine, spirits. Is this a common kind of imbalance?

As always, thanks very much to JMG and everyone else here for all that you do.

To any who will have them, I put forth my blessings and best wishes,
Jeff
