The hermetic adage " As Above, So Below, As Within So Without, As the Universe, So the Soul" 

asserts this universal truth that the Macrocosm is intertwined with the Microcosm of all life on earth. The biggest and also most subtle aspect of this herbal apprenticeship is not only to become a holistic herbalist, but to reconnect deeply with Mother Gaia and recollect through the green wisdom keepers of the natural world that we are children of hers. That we are the medicine that heals thyself, our communities and live in symbiosis with our Earth.
