About Us
Our mission is to share the wisdom of the nature spirits for collective healing
Sacred Medicine • Ancestral Wisdom • Divine Remembrance
Ancient Forces
In Kemet, the NeTeRu are the divine forces that govern NaTuRe—the ever-present energies of transformation, the eternal cycles of death, rebirth, and renewal. Energy is never lost, only reshaped, and through this sacred truth, we honor the living wisdom of the land. At Neteru Apothecary, we walk in deep relationship with the nature spirits, listening to their guidance, respecting their offerings, and preparing medicines in alignment with their will, timing, and presence. Every remedy, ritual, and practice shared here is an act of devotion, a bridge between the seen and unseen, crafted to bring balance, healing, and sacred connection.
Explore and remember the old/future ways with us.
Powerful Healing
Here we harness the wisdom of nature spirits and the healing power of herbs to reawaken each of our inner strength. Our goal is to build a vibrant community while imparting the mystical properties of plants and the significance of living in harmony with our Mother Earth. We aim to reawaken your childlike wonder, creativity, and your sense of personal power. Through intentionally cultivated or wildcrafted herbs, small-batch energetic medicines, and educational resources, we reconnect you with the Earth's wisdom and your innate healing abilities.
Ministry of Neteru Apothecary is your gateway to the wisdom of the Earth and the transformational magic of herbs and the nature spirits.

Through ceremony, spiritual mentorship, plant medicine, and divination, Empress Zella Taj offers intentional spaces for transformation, clarity, and restoration.
Our Dried Herbs
All of our herbs are organic, mindfully and respectfully wildcrafted or from small-scale growers, who work in right relationship with the land and grow and harvest with mindful intention and permission from the plants--happy plants make more powerful/stronger medicine.
Our herb supply depends on the season, given that we work with the flow and seasonality of the land and are not mass-producers. We partner with aligned businesses and individuals and have special bulk herb pricing. Please reach out for our full list of our available herbs and to reserve or request herbs to be grown in the next season.
