Renowned herbalist Amy Blackthorn shows readers how to bring plant spirits into their daily spiritual practice with therapeutic access, subconscious learning, and divining skills that help them understand plant spirits on a deeper level.
Blackthorn’s Botanical Magic
showed a new generation of witches how scent affects people, whether they understand it or not. In
Blackthorn’s Book of Sacred Plant Magic
, we travel even deeper into the magical garden of scent. We know that a walk down a summer street can bring back the smell of childhood summers with friends, riding bikes and swimming. Spring breezes carry with them the clean soapy smell of your second-grade teacher. We experience scents not only in the here and now but also filtered through the lens of our past.
Using the power of scent, we can create a sense of the sacred in our daily lives. Part reference guide, part recipe book, and part ritual journey,
offers readers an in-depth exploration of the vital connection between scents and magical practice.
Topics covered include:
Connecting with Spirits of Plants, Place, and People
Expanding your Scent Vocabulary: Beyond "Floral"
Scent, Memory, and Personal History: How History Effects Scent
