"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."--publisher's website.
Not at all what I expected this gorgeous book to be, but I like it. It's more a set of Oracle cards related to different plants and herbs, along with spellwork or meditations to go with the cards you might pull or the plant whose power you feel the need to channel. Did I mention this book is beautiful?
