The Herbal Healing Deck is a project created by my myself and my best friend, writer and herbalist Sarah Baldwin. The concept was conceived by Sarah, and she ever so graciously invited me along for the ride. To date, this is one of the most enjoyable projects I've worked on, as the venture relates to many of my own personal interests. I loved all aspects of the creative process, which included working with the plant spirits in meditation, to many late night talks with Sarah spent exploring her vision.

This deck will get you in touch with the plant spirits, who are waiting to connect with you and help with your personal healing journey.
While cultivating relationships with all plants is beneficial, this deck focuses on the ones used for herbal healing. Why? Medicinal plants carry an amplified healing vibration that seems to be more readily available for human contact. Our connection to these plants is in our very DNA. Our ancestors knew how to work with healing plants; they knew how to commune with them. It is time for us to reclaim this sacred relationship for the benefit of both humankind and the Earth. The Herbal Healing Deck was created as a means of facilitating communication between us and the plant world.
Learning to connect with plants on a spiritual level is a valuable practice that can impact our lives in many ways. By restoring the lines of communication established by our ancestors, we heal ourselves and develop a deeper respect for nature as a whole. Our green allies can accelerate the personal growth process, provide valuable lessons, and bestow healing energy.
