Since the beginning of time, knowledge, wisdom and insight have been communicated through the telling of stories. As the stories are passed down over time they travel through different locations and varying cultures. This means that the characters and contexts of the stories vary and change, whilst the essential core messages remain the same.

Ancient plant stories often give us core information about the qualities and usage of plants, with this knowledge presented in both symbolic and literal ways.

This herbal story focuses on a plant traditionally ruled by the planet Mercury, which is associated with the ancient Divinities of inspiration and wisdom; Mercury, Promethius, Athene and the Centaur Chiron. You are invited to join together on an adventure that opens up the potent healing power of one of our well known herbs.
