This series is based upon my fascination for old folklore and herbalism. I collected different uses of how herbs were used in the old days.

“When you’re walking in the forest and step on ferns,
you have offended the forest spirits and they will make sure you will get lost.

Only then you will find your way back home or else you shall dwell in the woods forever.”
