The books in their library are old works out of copyright law. In terms of credibility, most of these are translation from an unknown translator. As a librarian, that's a bit suspicious to me. A lot of the stuff is linked from www.esotericarchives.com. Overall, the stuff is pretty standard.
The "certified herbalist" think is funny because all of the herbalist organizations in the US specifically state that their is no such thing. I think there is one college that offers an undergrad degree in herbalism and botany, but there is no such thing as an accredited school among herbal schools. What you can do is attend a school that belongs to a known organization, like the American Herbalist Guild. RealEyez, you might want to consider joining the AHG or the National Botanical Council.
Here is a website with a list of herbal schools: http://cms.herbalgram.org/edlinks/listLinks.html?LW_EdLinksMapping.CategoryID=16&PageTitle=Schools/Educational%20Programs

I've been eyeing up this lady's classes in what she calls the "Wise Woman Tradition":
Wise Woman Center (www.susunweed.com)
there's so much information about classes on her page it's overwhelming, but physically she's located closest to me out of anyone credible who's offering classes, and she seems to know a ton of herbal information in a perspective compatible to mine and my current/future needs for personal and business purposes. anyone heard of Susun Weed?
Maybe we should start a new thread called "Herbal Classes"...others interested in them might not think to look under "What the Hell" to find information Look at what you've started here Maryn

Susan Weed is a well known herbalist. She takes a more spiritual route to the practice. I tend to be a more chemical/science based herbal person, but I have to admit that the woman knows her stuff, and she is one of the women who really founded the herbal renaissance. If you are interested in her model of herbalism, checkout this interview with her: http://herbmentor.podbean.com/2008/07/06/susun-weed-interview/

Be the kind of woman, that when your feet touch the floor in the morning, the Devil looks up and says, "Oh crap, she's awake."
