Autumnal Wishes to The Plant Healer Tribe To begin with, the personal updates which used to appear here, will now show up in the Release Letter that you are sent every time a seasons’s edition releases. Secondly, please don’t be confused by the slightly evolved naming of this publication. It has been pointed out that a 275 pages-long periodical is not really what you would call a magazine, and that would be true even if it were affordable to print hard copy. What they are really, is not issues, but editions of a quarterly Ebook. So from now on, you will see Plant Healer Magazine referred to as: Plant Healer Quarterly –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– New Plant Healer Columns Welcome our new quarterly columns, the first courtesy of sublime Lisa Valantine, extolling the wondrousness of healthful foods and sharing her artisanal recipes: True Food Beauty Kitchen Plant Healer founder and inspiriteur Kiva Rose has been busy, between meeting the needs of our baby, and building and spreading this herbal resurgence.... but now she is back, with a newly framed column that reflects her deeply intimate relationship with plants, their medicine, magic and folklore: Tales of The Enchanter –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 3

Announcing Our Newest Plant Healer Book: The Practice of Herbalism It has been 5 years since the foundational book The Plant Healer’s Path, and now it is time for its followup... authored by Jesse Wolf Hardin and over a dozen other writers in the community. The Practice of Herbalism addresses what it means to be an herbalist or plant healer, with chapters on everything from ways to study, to ways to practice and teach. To introduce it to you, we have included in this Autumn edition parts of the Foreword, the complete list of contributors and the Table of Contents, plus articles excerpted from the book by Juliette Carr, Becky Beyer, and Kat MacKinnon. To order your Softbound or Ebook copy, navigate to the Bookstore Page from: www.PlantHealer.org ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
