Synopsis
Maia Toll's Wild Wisdom series --
The Illustrated Herbiary,
The Illustrated Bestiary, and
The Illustrated Crystallary -- introduced readers to the mystical energy of the animal, vegetable, and mineral kingdoms. In this capstone to the Wild Wisdom series,
The Wild Wisdom Almanac guides readers in developing a personalized earth-based spiritual practice using specific rituals, writing prompts, recipes, symbols, and reflections tied to the seasons.
Organized into 12 chapters -- Winter Solstice, Spring Equinox, Summer Solstice, Autumnal Equinox, plus early and late stages of each of the four seasons -- the book features seasonal practices; exercises for the body and for writing and reflection; plant, animal, and mineral medicine; and symbolic explorations of the gifts and challenges that arise with seasonal change. With original illustrations by Kate O'Hara throughout the book and on 28 oracle cards, this all-encompassing guide will help readers use patterns and metaphors from the natural world to cultivate the sacred in their own lives.
