Plant Magic by Anastasia Mostacci (EXCERPT)

with gorgeous illustrations by Quorr, and subtitled The Magic Connections Of Plants With The Universe.

Readers, we have a treat for you today! This beautiful book encourages readers to recognize the magic contained within the plants around us, and how we can use their earthly histories to connect to the cosmic guidance they have for us all.

Anastasi Mostacci is a plant devotee who is dedicated to promoting and improving human relationships with nature. In this book, she seeks to connect the plants described here to their cosmological signifiers, before tying those both back to their influences on humanity. It’s a botanical-based perspective on green magic that is both fun and fascinating to explore.

Quorr’s beautiful illustrations hearken back to the 20th century, particularly the floral art of the 1970s. The cover they designed for this book is a particularly stunning example, but don’t take my word for it! We’ve been given the opportunity to share some of the beautiful interior spreads ahead of the book’s publication tomorrow, so come take a look!
