The wild, audacious spirit of weeds has much in common with witches, sharing a bond of nonconformity dating back to ancient times. Explore the wild herbal magic of nature that connects these mysterious plants to the witches that harness their powers. With detailed illustrations and instructions, this book is a guide to wild vegetation found in the suburbs, railways, countryside roads, undergrowth, and seaside locations. Each chapter begins in a new place and introduces a unique witch as they forage for weeds in the area and create recipes, cosmetics, and magical uses for each weed! Beginners and experienced witchcraft practitioners can incorporate the properties and benefits of these natural healers in foods or balms, creams, and lotions for self-care. Discover the magical power hidden in wild herbs and weeds, and use nature to enhance your body, soul, and spirit and build a healthier, happier life.
