This book has been out for over a year. Over a year! I even read it as soon as it came out, and yet it has taken all this time to share my thoughts on it. \u201cSecret Medicines from Your Garden: Plants for Healing, Spirituality & Magic\u201d by Ellen Evert Hopman is still in print, so it\u2019s still worth sharing.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ Reading \u201cSecret Medicines from Your Garden\u201d makes you feel like the author is personally leading you on a wilderness adventure. Hopman regales you with anecdotes from her spiritual journey and herbalism training. She doesn\u2019t just tell you about herbs and their meanings and uses, she trains you to intuit a plants purpose. Not only do you learn about the physical natural world, but Hopman discusses plant spirits, herbal astrology, and more. Of course the book is filled with ways to use all that nature has to offer such as poultices, tinctures, and food.<\/p>\n

I would say \u201cSecret Medicines from Your Garden\u201d is a surprisingly engaging book, and I dare say it\u2019s my favorite of all of Ellen Evert Hopman\u2019s books. (And considering how many great books she\u2019s written, that\u2019s saying something). <\/p>\n
