The Grove
There is a house that keeps the old plant knowledge — not as data to be searched, but as something returned to you, slowly, with its names intact. The Grove is the room where it is tended: what to steep, what to lay down, what to let grow quiet.
Two doors, one house. You may enter as Grove, or as Sacred Circle.

At the centre of the Grove is the keeper — an attentive guide that knows each plant by its names and its traditions, and answers by symptom or by season. It never prescribes. It describes what the tradition holds, and points you gently toward it.
452 plants — the Haitian lineage held with its Kreyòl names, and the Adriatic shore growing beside it. Each with its preparation, its tradition, and its cautions kept plain.
Temperatures, durations, preparation: the how, not only the what.
Small practices for the season at hand. Enough to begin, never more than you can hold.
Waters and simples for the household. A bath, a steep, a preparation — written with measures and how it is used.
Nothing here hurries. The knowledge arrives the way it was meant to — in season, by hand, and returned to you as though it had always been yours.
Two ways to belong
These are not levels to climb. They are two ways of living inside the house.
