The Illustrated Herbiary

Guidance and Rituals for 36 bewitching botanicals.

This book is 100% worth buying, there is a good reason it is so popular. The author & illustrator deliver what you want on every level. The attention to detail is exquisite. This book is laid out in a really easy and pleasing way to explore all 36 botanicals.

First you are met with an amazing piece of art that speaks beautifully to the authors well thought out words on the next page. Every botanical written about by the author gives you a much deeper understanding of the herb in a spiritual way, not like a historical document all fact based, it is a telling of the plants soul. Then the pages that follow provide you with a Ritual & Reflection. These are ways to really connect with the plant. The ritual is well explained and simple enough for anyone to accomplish. The Reflection is perfect for a journaling or meditation practice. This four page pattern is followed for every one of the 36 bewitching botanicals and I can’t think of a better way to truly know the herbs, flowers, fruits and roots we use in our practice.

As if this book wasn’t good enough as it is, it gets better! This book comes with a beautiful deck of Herbiary Cards (an Oracle deck) featuring the art in the books pages. There are a few spreads in the book to help you use your new cards. This is the best bonus! A genius way to connect with these botanicals and memorize their deepest truths.

If you are an herbalist or witch I highly recommend you experience this book. The authors has written similar books on other subjects like animals and crystals.
