Aradia Fever, an unconventional herbalist from small-town Illinois, blends traditional herbalism with retro-futurism and vintage Americana. A mother and grandmother, she infuses her work with family traditions and Midwestern flora, bridging scientific understanding with folkloric plant wisdom.

   Influenced by classic science fiction and post-apocalyptic gaming, particularly the Fallout series, Aradia's herbal blends evoke run-down soda fountains and abandoned drive-in theaters while addressing everyday issues. Her debut book, "Wasteland Survival: Leaf Juice," offers practical herbal wisdom with a playful nod to retro-futuristic scenarios.

   In her fictional wasteland, Aradia stands as a beacon of herbal knowledge, an invaluable resource for survivors across the irradiated American Midwest. When not concocting remedies or penning survival guides, she can be found 'haphazardly hooking' while watching for raiders.

   Aradia plans to expand her "Wasteland Survival" series, exploring herbal practices through a retro-futuristic lens, proving there's always room for nostalgia in our modern—or post-apocalyptic—world.
