"The messages of healing and renewal here, for the earth and human, will leave you smiling and spellbound."

Mother Nature is in trouble, and her people, increasingly vulnerable. That's no secret, but what is less known is that our plants and trees do have a voice. It takes a special ear and heart and mind to translate nature's wisdom, and Maia Toll does it with staggering beauty.

Linda Sivertsen, author of Generation Green, and host of The Beautiful Writers Podcast

"This book is sure to open up your soulful connection with plants and nature in a powerful way."

Who knew the plants had such a powerful language and could speak to the core of our soul? In this beautifully illustrated guide, Maia dives into the world of plants in a joyful, impassioned way to show the reader a whole new possibility. The rituals are deliciously simple and the accompanying oracle cards are a delight.

"Part oracle, part reference guide, part kitchen-conversation with a beloved friend, The Illustrated Herbiary is a treasure."

Full of earth-worn wisdom and bright gleanings of insight, this book will open your awareness to the plant world like never before, putting words to something you've always felt but had yet to hold in your hands. It's a rare gift to find an herb resource that is simultaneously so wise and so accessible. But somehow this book is able to do the impossible-- enlighten without instructing, guide without prescribing, open a portal to your own knowing without you even noticing the swinging door. Walk into this book with both eyes open and I promise you'll never see the world, and your own journey within it, quite the same.

"The Illustrated Herbiary may just be one of the most delightful and original herbals written."

This book is enchanting! Wise, engaging and entertaining! Filled with magic and myth, and tantalizing bits of wisdom, The Illustrated Herbiary may just be one of the most delightful and original herbals written, and definitely one of the most beautifully and lavishly illustrated. Don't expect to learn a lot of scientific facts about herbs in this whimsical 'herbiary', but you will find your sense of wonder kindled and your imagination sparked as you connect in a most profound and playful relationship with the green world around you.
