You hold in your hands powerful storytelling; stories that link back and carry forward. Some forgotten, some never before told. The kind of stories that leave dirt under your fingernails. They are raw, passionate and unapologetically full throttle into the cycles of life and death and renewal and remembering. Read this book, the Earth with love you for it. Julie McIntyre, author of Sex and the Intelligence of the Heart;Nature, Intimacy and Sexual Energy Come on an intriguing journey with a gifted storyteller. Abrah has created an empowering book, about Planets, Women and Plants, woven together to create a magical tale of fact, fiction, and myth. What a fresh, new perspective for an herbalist like myself to come across. A chance to view my beloved plants in a new light, through stories, strong female voices, traditional uses and experiences. I was held under Abrah's rapt spell, quenching my parched soul with her words. I didn't even know I was thirsty. Penelope Beaudrow, RH and Founder of the Back to Your Roots Herb Conference Abrah Arneson is a rare breed of poet, herbologist, plant mystic, Buddhist woven into one. As an astrologer, I love these tales that bring the meanings of the planets into a much fuller embodied fleshed-out expression in the plant world. As many younger astrologers turn to traditional and Medical astrology this is a must-have book in their libraries. To eat the planet's energy, to see the Sun as the literal, not just a 2-D symbol image most astrologers use with astrology these days, but as the very real source of light feeding the different plants which represent each planet is wonderful. Ive always used natural medicines too. For me this book is perfect for using as a medical intuitive and an astrologer to bring more depth into my knowledge and into my client's readings. Astrology is healing and nourishing. Thank you Abrah for creating such incredibly inspiring work. - Tara Green Astrologer The rhythm of ancient stories, the balm of healing herbs and the potency of astrological archetypes soar like fireflies from the page. Dip into this book of plant and planetary lore to partake of soul medicine for our times. - Laurie Szott-Rogers author of Healing the Goddess Wound Come all now and gather in, to make a circle with one another or within. A corral to hold this old souls wild whispers. A nest of listening to catch her awakening spells, that come to crack you open and break from your shell. Her incantations contained within are not some reenactment of a make-believe pagan. These tellings are real drops of wisdom spilling from Carridwen coldron, as Abrah vigorous stirs. If you lick up this concoction your journey will begin. - Steven Martyn author of The Sacred Gardener
