This is a box of goodies I received from one of my favorite stores, The Herbiary in Asheville.  They are a good old fashioned "herb store."  I love the "surprise boxes" they offer - and gift myself with one once in awhile.  This was the latest.  So fun to discover new things!  #surprise #theherbiary #magical #herbstore #medicinewoods #moonmaidbotanicals https://www.instagram.com/p/CBGXs2DhELn/?igshid=hj95sz50xakt

T H E W I L L O W We may think of a willow tree as strong and ever towering with its unchanging presence, but the willow is a tree of resiliency and pliancy. • She is an explorer and a gatherer as she reaches through the soil towards her lifeblood. Often willows can be like icebergs in the sense that their root systems can often be much larger than the tree itself. Like the depths of our souls, the willow embodies a search for deeper understanding of one’s self and a willingness to face the paths that will take you there. No matter what she encounters below the surface of the soil, she finds her way whether it’s up above, around or even through. Nothing gets in the way of her becoming. Nothing falters her truest spirit. #willowtree #willow #oraclecards #oracle #theherbiary #plantsofinstagram #plantlife #oracledeck #natureinspired #connection #soul #spirit #witchythings #witchesofinstagram #witchyvibes (at Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B11NnR4B7M3/?igshid=1bd1msh0b42gz

I am so excited to receive my new read The Illustrated Herbiary oracle deck and ritual guide by @maiatoll . I am about to embark on a deeper understanding of kitchen witchery, and the herbs available to me in my green craft space. The Herbiary features 36 oracle cards that explore the beauty and natural energy of common plants used in many kitchen witch’s pantries, and how they can enhance the nutritional healing energies in daily life. Providing rituals and reflections, this book is a proactive self care tool that will bring you closer to nature and your spiritual self. Any of you babes read this one? #healingherbs #theherbiary #bookstagram #bookclub #oraclecards #witchythings #greenwitch #kitchenwitchery #connection #healingmagic #closertonature #rituals #reflections #plants #selfcarethreads #selfcare #spiritualself (at Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1rAsWvHGIa/?igshid=1cwo1a6qpelru

Buy it for the book, NOT the cards!!! This lovely book by #maiatoll illustrated by #kateohara is INCREDIBLE and BEAUTIFUL and INSIGHTFUL as can be!!! I absolutely LOVE it!!! However, the #oraclecards are of the lowest quality possible which extremely disappoints me because the artwork is so MAGNIFICENT!!!!!! Like it is an utter shame they didn’t give the oracle cards the quality they deserved. SO FOR THE RECORD - should they release a boxed set, printed on high-quality laminated card stock in a size that deems worthy for the art that comes in its own box and not in a perforated sheet that you have to tear them apart – I will be the first one to purchase a deck. Like I will push my way up to the front of the line to give them my money!!! I love #theherbiary so much but the cracker jack box quality #oracle just ain’t cutting it for me. They are too tiny – not printed well and have a little jaggy edges. On that ending note – if you love #herbs #herbalmedicine and the wisdom of plants ~ you should definitely still buy this book!!!! 💚🌿 For sure!!
