Description

A practical herbal guide and a book of plant magick

‘Alexis teaches us that everything is woven together, from the herb and plant allies to the psyches of those calling on them, to the community at large moving around and through them, to the land that nourishes and grows them. This book is a wonderful treatise.’ Arin Murphy-Hiscock, bestselling author of The Green Witch

The Apothecary of Belonging takes us on a magickal journey through each of the four seasons with plant allies as our guides and companions. Author Alexis J. Cunningfolk explores how to know ourselves as beings who deeply belong to the land and one another, while teaching us about the energetic foundations of traditional Western herbalism that flow through the seasons within and around us.

Featuring twelve main seasonal allies and over seventy additional plant and herbal profiles, you will find methods for combining seasonal herbalism for physical vitality with magickal practices to support personal healing and community empowerment, including:

An indications-based guide to plant allies for common ailments
Herbal remedy suggestions
Simple tea recipes to support your energy
Rituals for solo or community practice including divination techniques
Lunar blessings to support your remedy-making throughout the year
Opportunities for sacred inquiry through journaling

Speaking to the common yearning for kinship and connection, The Apothecary of Belonging is a love letter reminding us that we can always find our way back home to each other.

About the Author

Alexis J. Cunningfolk is creating plant-led spaces of healing because none of us are meant to do this work alone. Practicing as an intersectional herbalist for over fifteen years and as a witch for nearly three decades,her work has led her around the country, presenting at various magickal, herbal, and academic conferences, as well as facilitating rituals for groups ranging from a handful of folks to hundreds. Alexis focuses on evidence-based and embodied plant healing while drawing on her experiences as a lesbian, a woman of mixed ancestry, and a third culture kid to create practices that help folks re-enchant their world and call themselves back home to their bodies. In addition to working with plants, she has been reading tarot since she was twelve, teaching since she was nineteen, and sneaking off to places in-between since she could walk. Alexis offers much of her work for free or low-cost, wild seeding wisdom as an act of gratitude and a spell of collective liberation. Find her work at www.wortsandcunning.com.
