A Note to the Edge Tribe from the Author, Sarah Baldwin:

Since ancient times, reverence for plants has held an important place in the spiritual traditions of India, where the original temples were sacred trees. Vedic texts and ancient artwork of the region give evidence that plants have long been held as sacred both for their utility as food and medicine, as well as in a broader sense for their connections to the gods and archetypal symbology. While plant worship in ancient cultures is not a unique phenomenon, what makes India extraordinary is that reverence for plants has endured for millennia, impacting modern-day spirituality and herbalism. Ayurveda is a healing tradition that honors the sacred power of plants. Many ayurvedic practitioners emphasize the visionary aspects of this traditional healing system. As authors David Frawley and Vasant Lad write in their book The Yoga of Herbs, “Just as physical ailments usually follow emotional imbalances, so we may find the spiritual use of herbs in Indian tradition of particular importance in our own unbalanced society.”The Herbal Healing Deck is a system of divination designed to help you connect deeply with plant allies for guidance and healing. My hope is that your relationships with these beloved botanicals bring you abundant blessings on the levels of body, mind, and spirit.
