About the author

Maia Toll is the award winning author of Letting Magic In, The Night School, and the Wild Wisdom Series (including The Illustrated Herbiary). After pursuing an undergraduate degree at the University of Michigan and a master’s at New York University, Maia apprenticed with a traditional healer in Ireland where she spent extensive time studying the growing cycles of plants, the alchemy of medicine making, and the psycho-spiritual aspects of healing. Maia maps new pathways for seeing our lives, inspiring those who encounter her work to live with more purpose, more intention, more meaning, and, maybe, even more magic. She is the co-owner of the retail store Herbiary, with locations in Philadelphia, PA and Asheville, NC where she lives with her partner, three ridiculously spoiled dogs, and her gorgeous rescue horse.

Reviews

[Moonbean · Rating 2 out of 5]

The journal is lovely and I like that it is hardcover and thus more durable than soft-back, but I wish that the paper was UN-LINED. Blank pages would lend themselves SO much better to the freestyle structure the journal and accompanying Night School book encourage. Perhaps this is something the author can consider if she decides to revisit and reprint the journal in the future.

Likely I will be gifting the journal I purchased and using my own (un-lined) notebook as I move through the Night School book.
