Summary
Unlock the powerful, magical, and transformative gifts of the plant world, and engage in a relationship with our green allies and their medicine.
Spiritual Herbalism offers an invitation to enter into and explore an engaged relationship with the individual plants we encounter, and with plants as a spiritual grouping.
This powerful book encourages us to step into a sacred space where the personality and potency of each herb unfolds in magic and deep medicine.
Within these pages, Josh Williams offers many tools and insights for this journey, presenting new perspectives on the virtues of herbs, interpreting the virtues handed down by our predecessors, and giving practical examples of what spiritual herbalism looks like when it is truly engaged.
