The Moonlit Herbarium
A living archive of botanical study, faery discovery, and seasonal observation, preserved through letters and specimens.
Welcome to the Archives
Moonlit Herbarium is a creative archive rooted in the traditions of 19th-century natural history, where plants are pressed by hand, letters are written slowly, and the unseen world is treated as worthy of record.
Through seasonal correspondence, botanical specimens, and collected evidence of the fae, the Herbarium preserves the quiet wonder of a world still alive with mystery.
What Is Being Recorded Here
Each offering from Moonlit Herbarium is shaped by observation rather than production.
Within its pages and parcels you may find:
- Handwritten journal excerpts from a naturalist named Clara, documenting her studies and encounters
- Pressed botanical specimens gathered and preserved by hand
- Fragments of faery evidence — artifacts, impressions, and traces left behind
All assembled with care, wrapped in vellum, and sealed in wax.
These records arrive not as reproductions, but as artifacts.
The Moonlit Herbarium Society
The Moonlit Herbarium Society is a small, seasonal mail club for those who wish to receive Clara’s ongoing correspondence as her studies deepen and her discoveries unfold.
Each month, members receive a physical parcel from the archive.
Membership opens periodically and remains intentionally limited.
Not everything that exists wishes to be proven. Some things ask only to be witnessed.
