The Apothecary of Belonging

An invitation to reconnect to the land, our bodies, and our communities through the seasons, helping us find our way back home to our own embodied rhythms.

The Apothecary of Belonging is a magickal journey through each of the four seasons with plant allies as our guides and companions. Alexis J. Cunningfolk explores how to know ourselves as land and as beings who deeply belong to the land and one another. Learn about the energetic foundations of traditional western herbalism that flow through the seasons within and around us and explore ways to map your inner landscape. Throughout, you will find methods for combining seasonal herbalism for physical vitality alongside magickal practices to support personal healing and community empowerment.

Along with chapters exploring traditional western herbalism energetics, working with plant allies, and creating your own oracle of belonging, each seasonal chapter includes:

An indications-based guide to plant allies for common ailments: twelve main seasonal allies and over seventy additional plants and herbs to build your seasonal apothecary Herbal remedy suggestions for community clinics and household apothecaries Simple tea recipes to support your energy Rituals for solo or community practice, including divination techniques Opportunities for sacred inquiry through divination, journaling, and group discussion Lunar blessings to support your remedy-making throughout the year

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