Description
Author and spiritual wellness guide Maia Toll turns the insight and wisdom that birthed The Illustrated Crystallary and The Illustrated Herbiary—her best-selling volume on the mystical power of plants—to the mysteries of the animal kingdom.
She profiles the mystical, meaningful traits of 36 powerful animals and explores how those traits can guide our intentions, inform our actions, and offer wisdom and insight. Spring Peeper's ability to re-emerge from frozen hibernation can inspire us to reinvent ourselves. Katydid's five eyes can lend clarity of vision when we need to see the bigger picture.
A deck of 36 oracle cards beautifully illustrated by Kate O'Hara, plus suggested rituals, readings, and reflections, guide readers in cultivating and accessing each animal's special energy.
Also available: The Illustrated Bestiary Collectible Box Set and The Illustrated Herbiary Collectible Box Set.
