Have you ever bought a book as a gift for someone and then kept it for yourself because it was so nice? Well The Secret Language of Herbs is that kind of book...

Spiral Nature Magazine Divided into four chapters--Healing & Hope, Love & Joy, Protection & Guidance and Ritual & Promise--this gorgeous gift book introduces the reader to 55 herbs and their lore and language. Each herb includes a little history about it, the keywords associated with it, and what it means if that one's your favorite.
