Harnessing the Power of Basil for Abundance
A plant you likely know, but how intimately do you know its gifts for anything outside of a Caprese salad?
Let’s get started with a little announcement - I am a contributor to the Summer edition of the Botanical Anthology magazine, a magazine dedicated to sharing plant-focused recipes, crafts, information, folklore and plant-loving folk.
In the Folklore section I wrote about how we can work with Basil as a symbol to encourage abundance in all areas of life. From tucking a leaf into your wallet to anointing your doorways with basil infusions, there are some really interesting ways to work with this plant in your daily life.
There are so many other incredible herbalists that I feature alongside in this publication, and I have my copy already for this season so I can confidently say that it is a really wonderful edition! You will be hooked from cover to cover, and you’ll be crafting, cooking and podcast listening in no time.
I’ll include the table of contents here so you can see how great the features are:

The Botanical Anthology is such a massive undertaking, bringing together passionate herbalists from across the globe to share their wisdom and creativity, and also is fully women-owned and run.
For the space of the promotional period (running until the 19th of June you can get this season’s edition for a discount (from $20 USD down to $16 USD) and on top of that, there is always a bonus mini eBook that centres around one specific seasonal herb or plant that you will receive for free during this space of time - the 2024 Summer edition’s eBook is All About Rose.

I look forward to contributing to this community-minded project in the future, but in the meantime I am elated to share it with you and for my fellow Aussie herb nerds, to connect you in with my North American friends as well.
I hope you get your copy and enjoy every single page!
Big love,
Hannah.
