HERBA MYTHICA: MYTHS AND FOLKTALES (HB)

Mythology suggests that every bush, every flower is a deity who mirrors the healing action of the plant: Hecate is the hypnotic Poppy, Osiris the oracular Laurel and Tara the regenerative Lotus. And in folk tales, there are Willow fathers, Hawthorn mothers and brides who marry trees. Herba Mythica is a handbook for story-lovers and herbalists alike. Illustrated throughout with characterful drawings that capture the light and shade of each plant, reminding us of their power to kill or cure.
