Mother Earth is a living entity that holds great medicine to heal us physically and spiritually. However, in today's modern world, too many of us are separated from this source of nourishment. Using the wheel of the year as a framework, you'll begin to understand the currents of nature and how to weave yourself back into this great web of life.
Using the plants, seasons, and cycles as your tools, you will be able to tap into the potent Earth Magick of life, death, renewal and rebirth. You will learn ways of growing medicine, harvesting from the wild or home garden, processing plants, and making remedies—all in harmony with the seasons. Each season opens a portal of magick that allows you to harvest the literal and spiritual gifts the Earth is offering at that time.
The Witch's Herbal Apothecary will awaken the Witch inherent in every wild soul and guide her into an empowered relationship of healing and magick with the natural world.

“This book is feeding my soul! It is beautifully written and illustrated and describes the simple ways we can re-connect with ourselves through rituals along with intention, and the help of our plant allies. It reminds us how the different energies of the seasons encourage us to live a life that mirrors what happens in nature and to nourish ourselves so we can flourish and participate at our fullest potential. The book contains so much inspiring poetry, prayers, and reflections; it truly is a handbook for deep reflection on what it means to be of human embodiment in the grander scale of nature that surrounds us. The many recipes are easy to replicate and further support the body, mind, and spirit in creating a life of greater consciousness, abundance, health, and wellbeing - an excellent resource for anyone seeking to learn more about working with plants.”

“An incredibly clear guide for anyone wanting to dive into the Magick of nature. I was so happy to receive my copy of The Witch's Herbal Apothecary: Rituals & Recipes for a Year of Earth Magick and Sacred Medicine Making. I am so impressed with this book. The author has been able to take a subject that is sometimes written about in either a way that is so esoteric it is hard to get a grasp on or many times seems to be diminished and exploited. This book has found the balance and I feel offers those teachings to us. The contents offer not only inspiration, but really beautiful and meaningful rituals anyone can practice. I have found myself being carried away into a land of plants, earth love, cosmic love and deeper self love with through the ideas and rituals in this book. Your mind will never be the same after you read and integrate these beautiful teachings into yourself. I highly recommend!! It will surely because a Magick classic!”

“A Guide For A Magical Year, After Year. This book is more than a guide on herbal remedies. Miernowska beautifully weaves together medicine making, ritual, story, and how to develop or deepen your relationship with plants through a deep dive into each season of the year. It’s literally a How To Guide on moving back into our natural cycles, while healing, building a home apothecary, and helping to heal the Earth too.
It’s not only beautiful, with illustrations and imagery sure to inspire, it’s a reference book you’ll want to keep handy. Everyone will want to refer to the delicious recipes (Kava-Cacao Seduction Elixir!) and detailed practices year after year.”
