Directions for Gathering and Preserving Herbs
Harvesting plants requires precise timing linked to planetary positions. Herbs ruled by the Sun must be gathered when the Sun is dominant, ensuring their maximum vital energy is preserved. Roots hold their greatest power in autumn when sap descends, while leaves and flowers must be taken at full bloom before solar heat dries their active virtues. Proper storage in dry, shadowed places prevents the decay of these astral qualities.
