Detailing the spiritual, alchemical, astrological, and symbolic associations of each plant, the author explores their magical uses in spells and rituals.

He also examines plants in the witch’s pharmacopoeia that are safer to work with and just as chemically active, such as wormwood, mugwort, and yarrow. The author shares rituals suited to the individual nature and powers of each plant and explains how to attract and work with plant spirit familiars.

Harold Roth is a leading authority on plant/herbal magic. His new book, The Witching Herbs, is an in-depth exploration of 13 essential plants and herbs most closely associated with witchcraft—13 because it’s the witching number and reflects the 13 months of the lunar calendar. The plants are poppy, clary sage, yarrow, rue, hyssop, vervain, mugwort, wormwood, datura, wild tobacco, henbane, belladonna, and mandrake. Roth writes simply and clearly on a vast amount of esoteric information that is not easily found elsewhere and will be greeted enthusiastically by those who already have extensive experience and libraries. It is unique in that it combines mysticism with practical instructions for growing each plant, based on Roth’s 30 years of gardening expertise. Each chapter focuses on one plant and includes information on its unique plant spirit familiar, clear how-to instructions for magical projects, and pragmatic information on growing and cultivating. Roth writes, “This book is a great choice for intermediate-to-advanced witches who would like to work more closely with the traditional witching herbs, especially the baneful plants with their rather difficult spirits. Working directly with spirits is one of the fundamentals of the Craft.” The Witching Herbs is the essential plant-worker’s guide. Roth is not only a successful gardener, but also a magician and scholar of the occult. No other book blends clear, practical gardening techniques with equally lucid and sophisticated plant magic so successfully.

How is it possible for you to imagine the unimaginable, or bring to existence something that is far beyond the comprehension of the common man? At times, when we see things come into existence and wonder how they came into being. Nature has so much blessed us with a lot that we've got to be grateful for, and we cannot overemphasize the usefulness of these valuables with which nature has blessed us. These valuables come in different species and dimension, and there are quite a number of unique features that come with each of them. Some of which are one-dimensional while some are multidimensional in the ways and manner in which they work. You are going to need to read this book to have a proper understanding of what I mean by that. The quest of getting to know about these gifts of nature and the extent to which they can be used led to people finding out more about these valuables. A quest for a treasure in a wonderland will always make you see a lot of wonders for sure, which is what brought about herbal magic. You know that when you research about a thing, and you get a lot of information about these things, you become so learned about them, so much that you begin to do wonders with the information that you've got. The set of people who got this done and made magic out of it are the people we know as herbal magicians or alchemists. You have to understand that I can't bear it all out to you here, you've got to get this book to see for yourself. These alchemists have been able to unlock a lot of mysteries concerning herbs because they were able to understand the source of these herbs, which is beyond what any random person could come about or imagine. Some of their ways were kept secret for centuries because you cannot expect someone who went through a lot to come about a masterpiece to just let it out on a platter of gold. You've got to earn it to know it. How do you expect a researcher to carry out a study for many years, after series of failures, getting to the point of breakthrough, you assume the researcher to let it all out just like that? They are of value, and the alchemist or herbal magician would hold it so jealously without leaking the secret to his breakthrough to anyone just anyhow. The question is, how many people have the drive to stay dogged without wavering in getting a masterpiece that could change the world? Well, the result to these led to bringing together what all these herbal magicians or alchemists have looked into over the years, the materials they used and how they went about it. Don't you think that must have been a lot of work? This book brings all to you so you could understand beyond what your present scope. Buy this book, read it up, and place yourself above others. I believe you'd love this.
