The healers of the ancient paths knew well the rhythms whispered by moonlight, each herb dancing to the rhythm of a particular lunar phase—their powers awakening in harmony with the light above.

Lady’s Mantle, cloaked in quiet grace, reveals her deepest medicine during the waning moon, when the dimming light calls forth her protective and restorative essence, a reflection of release and renewal.

Meadowsweet, soft and tender with her sweet summer scent, is gathered under the full moon, when her healing energies swell to match the moon’s luminous peak, offering her cooling touch to pain and inflammation.

Red Clover, vibrant with the vitality of spring, is harvested under the waxing moon, her purifying essence rising with the growing light to cleanse the body and spirit.
