Maia Toll's Wild Wisdom Companion: A Guided Journey into the Mystical Rhythms of the Natural World, Season by Season

All of Maria Toll’s books are both filled with beautiful wisdom and packed with gorgeous illustrations. This one doesn’t disappoint.

This book is such a lovely read. Following the wheel of the year. Being present to what IS, really keeps me centered to life and the time passing. The smaller changes and the bigger changes of the seasons. Being in tune with the cues nature gives me to stay connected to my place in the natural world and my inner nature. The language is rich and evocative. The cards are 'cheap', but the artwork is beautiful. I would use them gently and place them on my altar for more guidance. (I would use her NEW, full size cards for more frequent readings.) I loved it so much, I also bought it for a friend, and will put a note in the 4 seasonal pockets to share the turning of the wheel with her. A beautiful, special book.

This is the third Maia Toll book I’ve purchased and I am equally amazed at the beauty contained within the first two books pages 📄 as with this one. Just gorgeous 🤩. Her books are wonderful to read, easy to understand and very relatable. The longer you look at each beautiful page the more details jump out at you. Absolutely stunning 😍!

So excited!!! This book does not disappoint. Just like Herbiary and Bestiary, Maya asks that you engage with what you read, see, and feel. The Oracle cards are perfect for altar use or just pulling one to see what pops up. The illustrations are gorgeous. But back to engaging- this is what sets her books apart. She gives you multiple “choose your own adventure” options for interacting with each season- through animals, plants, symbols, and minerals. I love this. I tend to get stuck in my head, but her work draws me out and reminds me not just to learn or observe but to experience. I sincerely hope she eventually does a book version of Witch Camp. Then the collection would truly be complete. Hint, hint…The thing I might love most about her work is that I feel it’s like a spiritual bonus for whatever your beliefs might be. I’ve followed her work for several years now and have found that I notice things more- changing of the seasons, what rabbits hop in my yard, etc. It’s made me happier. A lot of the prompts in her books also just seem to coincide with fostering good mental health. I don’t think it’s possible to go wrong with this book. If you’re on the fence, just give it a go, keep an open mind, and play.Note to the publisher: please just publish the cards with each book as a legit set. We shouldn’t have to purchase duplicates to get a beautiful book and separate beautiful cards. The cards that come with the book are okay and usable but the quality always makes me disappointed. Please just make them ultra-nice to begin with and charge accordingly. The book quality is stunning, so why would you skimp on the cards??? Her books deserve equal quality cards. Also, love the square, but keep them the same size/shape as the others so we can mix the cards from all the decks. The point of her books is to engage- the cards should reflect that.

Awesome book and cards for studying

I absolutely love this book! And I have already purchased 3 copies as gifts and will continue to gift this book. The content is meaningful and thought-provoking and the illustrations are incredible. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is on a spiritual path or who is deeply connected to nature and the seasons. I bought this book last autumn and have read the whole book, and I cannot wait to journey through the Wheel of the Year again with this book as my companion!Thank you Maia Toll!

The media could not be loaded.  Maia Toll's Wild Wisdom Companion is beautiful, let's start there. The illustrations by Kate O'Hara transport you into different worlds, and they're wonderful. Toll then guides you through each season offering new perspectives and corresponding elements, energy centers, and animal/crystal/herb medicines. The insight Toll offers is deep and magical, but rooted and grounded in actual practices to try. This isn't your typical "how-to" guide, but instead, a beautiful book of ideas that you're encouraged to try on and see what fits YOU. This is the perfect gift to help someone else explore the seasons, systems of this natural world, and also themselves.

The art is beautiful, the book is amazing and overall I do love it so very much.... but... The book randomly begins with late autumn and all the other sections start with the seasons solstice/equinox and then early Sean followed by late season. The rest of autumn is in the very back of the book. It absolutely makes no sense that it is out of order. I wish this could be fixed or something. It just drives me crazy, haha. Other than that though, the book is wonderful. I have all the books from this author and I have loved every single one. Just the best in my opinion.

Ein wirklich wunderschön illustriertes Buch mit vielen Anregungen für Reflexion und Selbsterkenntnis.Die Kapitel sind einfach aufgebaut und orientieren sich sm Jahreslauf. Zu jedem Zeitabschnitt gibt es Übungen und Tiere, Pflanzen und Mineralien als Symbole/Archetypen für Fragestellungen an uns selbst.Maia Toll, laut ihrer Biographie Heilerin, spart sich vergeistigte Prädigten. Stattdessen lädt sie die Leser ein von den esoterischen Lehren das anzunehmen, was ihnen für sich selbst hilfreich erscheint. Ein Buch für alle, die gern Spiritualität in ihr Leben bringen wollen, ohne die Welt erklärt zu bekommen.
