Steeped in magic and folklore, this book encourages us to slow down, notice the seasons and spot the herbs, trees and flowers all around us. Healers in the early medieval period drew upon the bounty of the earth to create the Nine Plants Spell – a collection of plants used for medicine, food and magic. Now, wherever we live, we too can create our own charms and rituals with healing herbs.
Organized by nine habitats, from shady plants of the meadows to secret plants of the town, discover:
- Properties of 81 plants
- More than 30 recipes for food, drink and home remedies
- Photographs for easy identification
- Historic uses, folk stories, myths and more
This charming book is the perfect way to unearth the little-known herbal treasures hiding in plain sight all around us – and to discover just how much they can give us.
