The Treadwell's Book of Plant Magic - Paperback

by Christina Oakley Harrington (Author)

"The Treadwell's Book of Plant Magic is a marvel of a volume, sure to arm any witch--or anyone actually--with the knowledge they need to infuse their lives with plant enchantments of all sorts. This is the wise and wondrous herbal reference book we have been waiting for!" --Pam Grossman, author of Waking the Witch: Reflections on Women, Magic, and Power

In The Treadwell's Book of Plant Magic, author Christina Oakley Harrington--founder of the renowned Treadwell's Books in London--focuses exclusively on the magical powers attributed to the plants. She has sifted through hundreds of traditional sources to create a rare compendium of the "old ways" in which plants have been used to achieve love, win competitions, become invisible, gain good luck, achieve success, receive protection, and more.

The book also offers practical updates to the old uses, which the modern reader will find easy to carry out. The Problems and Solutions section suggests the appropriate plant or plants for almost any circumstance one could face in life. Each spell is carefully cited to its traditional source to aid the reader in further study.
