Throughout history, plants have played a key and vital role to our existence. Whether as a foodstuff, medicine, building material, or religious aid.
 
The way that we re-purpose and domesticate plants has shaped a core part of the development of human culture.
 
Hedgerows and wild-growing areas are a vital part of our countryside’s and through our co-dependency they have become ingrained in the myth and lore of humanity.
 
Many of the old wives’ tales about plants were created to spread knowledge of their medicinal and nutritional properties, and many have become entwined with stories of local spirits, deities, and more ancient legends.
 
Folk Magic and Healing is, ultimately, a collection of many of these beliefs, aiming to inspire a greater appreciation of our wild plants and countryside’s.
 
This stunningly illustrated treasury of the folklore of flora is packed with insight, lore and the revealed mysteries of everyday plants – perfect for gardeners, writers, folklorists, witches and general knowledge buffs alike!
