There is natural healing magic right in your backyard-in the form of powerful plants-and it has never been easier or more sustainable to access.

Whether you live in a forested lush area or are in the middle of a bustling urban environment, you can extract the properties and magic of plants. Plants hold the power of emotional and spiritual healing, which you can access through their physical or metaphysical properties. In this comprehensively researched book, split into three parts, (Gather, Harvest, Reap), you will learn how to forage or grow the plant, classify the plant, and then use its color or properties for no-waste sustainable spells or crafts.

Specifically, you will come away with:
- Advice on practical foraging and gardening techniques
- Profiles of more than 90 plants, including trees, herbs, roots, flowers, fruits, and vegetables complete with information on the origins, practical uses, healing properties, and best techniques for extracting color
- Ancient and sustainable techniques such as Hapa Zome and Color Baths to obtain color from plants for no-waste art and projects
- Over 20 recipes and steps for natural inks, paints, and crafts including well-known inks like Walnut and Pokeberry, as well as kid-friendly projects like Berry-ink
- Spells throughout and a chapter on how to create your own Grimoire, or Spell book, with a collection on sample spells

This book takes you on a full journey from root to ritual. It is full of joyful, easy-to-follow, DIY, no-waste recipes. You'll gain an appreciation for everything one seemingly simple plant can do for you-from its healing properties to its ability to provide for art.
