Wild Alchemy draws on the ancient practices of alchemy, astrology and plant lore to create a modern-day guide to the restoration of mind, body and soul.

To be an alchemist is to be an apprentice to the wild. Here is an invitation to reclaim our true selves as one with nature. Plants are our kin and ancestors, and these masters of adaption and survival can be our greatest teachers, if only we learn to listen.

Featuring illustrated botanical and astrological guides, practical instructions in wildcrafting and 28 remedies, such as St John's Wort Summer Solstice Oil, this book takes us on a journey to become alchemists in our daily lives.
