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.
