The Invisible Harvest: A Microhistory of Heretical Herbs
As our realities are perpetually formed by the stories we choose or are compelled to tell, ‘The Invisible Harvest’ wonders what orthodoxies the histories of our herbal protagonists might disrupt, and how these old heresies might renew our thinking and re-enchant our world.
In this intoxicating collection of essays on poisonous and psychoactive plants and fungi, Bethany van Rijswijk gathers hidden histories overlooked in the scholar’s harvest.
Through otherworldly original collages and deep critical engagement with obscure tales of visionary sacraments, owl-chemists, fairy forts, forking paths, vermicular angels, dancing plagues, mushroom cults, and shamanic remnants, she reveals a magic that opens passageways to contrary states of being and thinking—if only we are bold enough to embrace them.
80 pages, 5.8 x 8 inches, soft-bound with full-color art. Published by Broccoli.
