Hedge Guild Otherworld Oracle Companion EBook
Welcome to the liminal Hedge, and into its Seeker’s Guild. The curtain parts, revealing myriad secretive hedgeways leading to that enchanted forest where you yourself play a central role. In periods of great challenge & unpredictable change, the tales within can contribute to an understanding of our true selves and the myriad options on our paths.
This book is a companion to Hedge Guild Otherworld Oracle Deck, featuring the descriptions, animal folklore, medicinal plant uses, & archetypal mythology of each of the animist archetypes of the 60 Hedge cards. With or without an Oracle deck, these inspired tales of the Hedge can help clarify the elements, factors, lessons and practical aids, potential consequences & outcomes to be found in any context or situation that we might encounter. They help equip us with what we personally need in order to make those choices that serve us best, empowering us to move forward with awareness & in wholeness through our personal purpose and story, in our own currently epic times.
All of the 60 images here were drawn by Jesse Wolf Hardin, who is also the author of the applicable readings and interpretations, and folkloric sections. His partner and Guild co-creator Kiva Rosethorn is a well known folk herbalist and champion of outliers and visionaries, enchanting us while recounting the usable as well as mythic dimensions of each telltale Hedge Guild archetype, perception-bending creature, iconic tree and healing herb.
