The Bealtaine Cottage Herbal
Preface
The Bealtaine season, a time of vibrant energy and burgeoning life, feels like the perfect moment to unveil this exploration of Irish herbal lore. This book is not simply a compendium of plant remedies; it’s a journey, a weaving together of ancient Celtic wisdom, folklore, and the practical knowledge of centuries of herbalists. It’s a testament to the powerful connection between the Irish people and their land, a relationship reflected in the rich tapestry of tradition surrounding the use of herbs for healing, ritual, and everyday life. My aim is to bridge the gap between the ancient practices and the modern world, offering a balanced perspective that honours tradition while acknowledging the importance of scientific understanding. Within these pages, you will discover not only the medicinal properties of Irish flora but also their symbolic significance, their roles within Celtic mythology, and their enduring place in the Irish cultural landscape. It is my hope that this book inspires a deeper appreciation
Blessings, Colette O’Neill.
Publishing date September 2025

Sorry about that ,I will add them all to my collection one day.I love your Magical gardens and love watching and listening to you taking us on walks in your lovely cottage . Blessings , Kim Shaw

I am so looking forward to your new book. I have all your others and love them all including your you tube channel. Blessings to you all.
Dearest Colette, is there any chance you’ll have maps available again? After purchasing all of your books thus far, your lovely map was to be next. Now I’ve sadly missed out.
I have maps available now but cannot post them to the United States due to all sorts of restrictions at US customs.
Yay! will definitely buy it!
thank you
I’m so excited! Can we preorder the book now or do we have to wait until it comes out? I love when I can preorder books by my favourite authors and then one day it just shows up…haha. Either way I’ll be getting it to go with all your other books I have purchased since you started publishing them.
I will open the pre-order on my website once the book is with the printers.
When can we order the book? Sound great
Once the book is with the printers, I will put a pre-order facility on the website.

Oh brilliant! I will certainly be adding it to my collection of your books. I have been increasingly drawn to herbalism over the last few years & started a herbalist course this January, so your book is perfect timing for me. Xxx
