HERBAL COUNCIL LIBRARY
at ElderMoon School of Herbs & Earth Medicine
If you've ever turned to a plant for healing then there's an herbalist within and definitely a seat for you in this library. If you've never consciously turned to plants for healing but are now curious, there's a seat for you in this library too.
Learning the language of plants and walking with them is easier than you think. Come and absorb.
All currently enrolled EMS Birthing an Herbalist in 13 Moons Course herbal students receive access to the library for FREE as part of your study time to expand on topics touched upon lightly during your course time.
