What you’ll find inside

The Plant Database

Searchable, filterable plant profiles featuring Northern New England flora. Each entry connects three knowledge systems—scientific research, herbalist traditions, and magical correspondences—all properly cited, all in one place.

Filter by what matters to your practice: planetary rulers and magical intentions, therapeutic actions and preparations, or native location. See everything, or just what you need.
