Magical herbs, remedies & rites for the wise one within This book speaks directly to the wise woman that resides deep within us all, enhancing her inherent wisdom and aligning her closer to the Crone Goddesses of old. It incorporates suggestions for easy going rites, herbal remedies and herb magic.

Arriving at this time of our lives doesn’t mean it’s all downhill from here. It can be a time of joy and a sense of accomplishment as we look back through our achievements. We did that! So, sit back a
