    [synopsis] => Rosemary is for remembrance; sage is for wisdom. The symbolism of plants - whether in the ancient Greek doctrine of signatures or the Victorian secret language of flowers - has fascinated us for centuries. Contemporary herbalist Maia Toll adds her distinctive spin to this tradition with profiles of the mysterious personalities of 36 herbs, fruits, and flowers. Combining a passion for plants with imagery reminiscent of tarot, enticing text offers reflections and rituals to tap into each plant's power for healing, self-reflection, and everyday guidance. Smaller versions of the illustrations are featured on 36 cards to help guide your thoughts and meditations.

 How to Work with the Herbiary Cards

 Thank-Yous

   "This book doesn't tell a story in the traditional sense, but it tells a story about the world around you, the beauty of nature, and how you can find that same beauty inside yourself." – Mugglenet Review



 "In this delightful debut, Toll relies on her imagination to spin a fun botanical mythology. O'Hara's bright, bold illustrations-which introduce each entry and are also included as a divination deck-will appeal to readers with strong lines and a sense of glowing from their centers, a boldness that carries through to the more representational sketches of plants that follow. It will appeal to those looking for fun new ways of considering plants." - Publishers Weekly



 "This book is enchanting, wise, engaging, and entertaining! Filled wit
