No matter where you live, natural resources are all around you. These pieces of nature hold inherent powers--and inherent magic--that could be useful to you, and they are often hiding in plain sight.

Tips for foraging correctly, mindfully, and sustainably
Instructions for teas, balms, decoctions, and other herbal remedies made out of foraged ingredients and materials
Wildcrafts for rituals that usher in the new season, inspired by mystical folk practices around the world
And more!

Readers will come away with a more complete knowledge of, and appreciation for, the world that lies just beyond their doors--its abundance, hidden applications, and how it makes enchanted beings of us all.
