Books & Resources

As an avid reader, I love to find new authors and sources of information to help me on my journey.  This Books & Resources section will help you find recommended books and resources related to kitchen witchery, herbalism, homesteading, and mindful living – all topics I love.

I am always learning and expanding my knowledge; books are an invaluable guide.

As I learn, I love to share what I discover.  Full of wisdom, inspiration, and practical guidance about the topics close to my heart, I love to keep physical copies of books on my shelves. Whether you’re delving into the art of kitchen witchery, exploring the healing properties of herbs, or seeking guidance on sustainable living practices, there’s a wealth of resources waiting to be discovered.  Books are a key resource for me.  Living in a remote community, there are many areas near me without cell signal.  When I go foraging, I can rely on the books from my collections when Plant ID apps cannot help,

Together, we will explore some recommended books and resources to nourish your mind and spirit on the path to holistic living.
