Dive into the magical properties of over 400 plants with this valuable encyclopedia. Scott Cunningham expertly explores the spiritual powers of plants, their ritual uses, and the folk traditions associated with them. Each plant is much more than a simple ingredient: it carries unique energies, ancient symbols, and healing abilities that this guide makes accessible to everyone, even beginners.
This work goes beyond rare esoteric plants and focuses on resources easily found in everyday life. Onions, apples, lettuces, cashews, rice, as well as herbs like basil and parsley, are discussed from the perspective of their energetic properties and the benefits they can bring to your magical practice. Cunningham also explains how familiar foods like fennel, garlic, or even pickles can become powerful magical tools when used with intention.
In addition to a detailed directory of the common and scientific names of each plant, the encyclopedia includes a glossary explaining key terms of plant magic, as well as an annotated bibliography to deepen your knowledge.

Here, we don’t judge.
No matter where you come from, what you believe in, or what you’re looking for: you belong here. You can be a beginner, curious, a casual practitioner, or a daily witch. What matters is sincere intention.
We believe in all forms of magic.
High magic and its rigorous rituals deserve as much respect as spells passed down in the countryside. We read grimoires, respect rites, listen to old stories. Everything practiced with faith deserves serious and curious attention.
We welcome all traditions.
We don’t put one path above another. We talk hoodoo, kabbalah, Christian prayers, elemental magic, folk rituals, Celtic symbols. What matters is respect. Not the label.
We work cleanly.
Each package is carefully prepared by us, here in France. Before shipping, it is purified so it arrives at your home cleansed and positively charged. We strive to use recyclable packaging and reduce our impact as much as possible.
We stay available.
Customer service is us. Not an AI, not a robot, not a call center. If you have a question, a doubt, a problem, you reach us—the same people who select the products, write the descriptions, and prepare the packages.
We stay human-sized.
We are a small passionate team with big ambitions, hands in the herbs, books, and boxes. And we want to keep it that way.
— You speak about it best.
