The charismatic Seed Sistas (authors of The Sensory Herbal Handbook) distill over 20 years of clinical and teaching experience into these 40 plant-themed oracle cards. This deck will link users to much-loved plants, empower them to take charge of their own healthcare, and inspire reconnection with the land, the elements and the seasons. The 176pp book included in the deck covers: Unique card spreads created for this deck to explore issues in depth.  Herbal healing tools that work – they’ve been tried and tested in the clinic, the classroom and in the field. Powerful visuals for intuitive access to plants – Each card’s illustration teaches plant medicine through the visual imagery, easy to learn and understand but offering complex meaning and guidance. Detailed instructions regarding the connections between cards: cards are divided into elemental suits (Fire, Water, Air, Earth and Spirit) to allow multi-layered readings.  Detailed plant profiles: The level of information is uniquely detailed for a plant oracle deck, ranging from the derivation and meanings of common names to folklore, therapeutic benefits, meaning in a reading and overall usage of the herb. Aimed at all those interested in plant medicine, paganism, witchcraft, and connecting with nature, this is a guide to opening yourself to the healing power of plants and to the support the natural world offers as you face life’s challenges. It will enable you to interact with the herbs in many different creative ways.
