Happy Feast Day of Saint Hildegard of Bingen! She was one of the most inspiring women to me when I started my journey as an herbalist 30 some odd years ago. Now that I’m older, her wisdom brings solace in difficult times. #hildegardofbingen #herbalist #healing #doctorofthechurch #femalesaint

Okay, y'all - I'm gonna try something fun.
I am looking for fellow souls exploring the liminal space between worlds. If you are drawn to:
Mysticism & Science
The Courage to Face Your Fears
The Wisdom of the Natural World
Healing & Personal Growth
