Guest Speaker for the North Country Herbalist Guild
“Using Astrology as a Tool to Deepen
Your Herbal Knowledge”
6:30pm
Wangensteen Historical Library
University of Minnesota
16 Delaware St SE #2-340, Minneapolis Campus
Free Event - Open to the Public

Many herbalists think they need to devote intense dedication and study to astrology before they can use it in their own practices. But, what if we think of astrology as a kind of language instead of a divination or personality assessment tool? What if the language of the stars is also the language of the plants, seasons, elements? Most herbalists already understand a LOT more about astrology than they think they do.

Before the lecture, you’ll have the opportunity to view the new “Plants and Planets” exhibit at the Wangensteen Historical Library, and get an exclusive, hands-on tour of some of the herbal and astrological items in the library’s collection. 

This event is free, but pre-registration will get you details directions and details on parking at the Wangensteen Library.

A top-down view of a rustic wooden table with a bowl of red apples, a bottle of red wine, a mug of red liquid, candies, and berries.
