In it, author, Cyndi Brennan, offers her extensive insight into Hekatean ritual and witchcraft and its application to the use of over 60 botanicals, some from Hekate''s ancient garden but, most, using botanicals such as mandrake, bay laurel, birch, dandelion, hawthorn, juniper, pomegranate and skullcap.This book blends traditional methods with the author''s personal approach, emphasising her understanding of plant spirits as allies in the witch''s journey. It includes a new taxonomy for interpreting plant energies, methods for creating new correspondences, the importance of layering, using botanicals in spells, rituals, altars and more, as well as ways to develop meaningful relationships with the pharmakoi (master plant spirits).
