How does your magickal garden grow?. . .With violets, rosemary, and yarrow
to attract faeries; an apple tree for love and health; and a circle of
stones in some tucked-away corner? Whether you live in a cottage in the
woods, a home in the suburbs, or a city apartment with a small balcony, a
powerful and enchanted realm awaits you!
Garden Witchery is more than belladonna and wolfsbane. It's discovering the
secret language and magickal properties of the trees and flowers, herbs and
plants found growing around you, and learning how to create your own witch's
garden. It's about creating your own floral and herbal spells, and it's full
of common-sense information about cold hardiness zones, soil requirements,
and a realistic listing of accessible magickal plants.
Written with down-to-earth humor by a master gardener who is also a
practicing witch, this creative and encouraging guide will inspire gardeners
of all ages and experience levels. It includes a journal section that makes
it easy to keep track of your progress, practical gardening advice, personal
stories, and garden witchery lore and magick. Inside, you'll get the dirt
on:
- flower folklore
- moon gardening and astrological timing
- faerie magick
- beginning to advanced witchcraft
- floral and herbal spells
- Sabbat celebrations
- "witch crafts" (sachets, wreaths, charm bags)
- creating sacred space
- shade, moonlight, and sun gardens
- enchanted houseplant and container gardens
- magickal herbal correspondences
- garden blessings
There may be other books on magickal gardening, but none have practical
gardening advice, magickal correspondences, flower folklore, moon gardening,
faerie magick, advanced witchcraft, and humorous personal anecdotes all
rolled into one volume.
