The Moonlit Herbarium Society Membership

Description

The Moonlit Herbarium Society is a private correspondence archive granting access to recovered and restricted materials from the journals of a 19th-century naturalist named Clara, whose botanical studies gradually led her into documented encounters with the fae.

Members of the Society receive access to these findings as they are quietly released from the archive — letters, specimens, and collected evidence once kept from public record.

Upon joining, new members are formally welcomed with an acceptance letter from the archive, sent shortly after enrollment. This letter confirms their admission to the Society and offers context for the materials that follow.

Thereafter, members begin receiving monthly archival parcels, assembled slowly and sent by post.

Each Monthly Archive Parcel Includes

• A handwritten journal excerpt from Clara, detailing her observations, studies, and encounters

• One pressed botanical specimen art print, preserved and mounted by hand

• A piece of faery evidence — a trace, artifact, or impression recovered alongside her notes

All materials are wrapped in vellum and sealed with wax, in keeping with the archival traditions of another time.

Rhythm & Cadence

An acceptance letter is dispatched shortly after admission to the Society.

Subsequent archive parcels are released once per month, at the beginning of each month, following the rhythm of the season.

This archive moves slowly by design. Variations, pauses, or shifts may occur as additional materials are restored, interpreted, or deemed suitable for release. Members are notified by email prior to each mailing.

Who This Archive Is For

The Moonlit Herbarium Society may be right for you if you:

• Are drawn to folklore, botany, and hidden histories

• Value slowness, symbolism, and tangible correspondence

• Enjoy receiving physical artifacts presented as archival materials

This Society is not a productivity tool, a novelty subscription, or a fast-paced program.
